A great book, not only for cooks, is for everyone who wants to know all the details and incredible reactions of our food when we are cooking them.

Authors are Rachel Botsman and Roo Rogers. Looks at consumption in a positive way. You can never stop people desiring or wanting new things but you can make better for the world.

There are so many good ideas in this book and lots of good business ideas too.
