FEATURES:

Did you know that up to 60% of our personal eco-footprint is embodied in the food that we buy?

The Sustainable Table is a collection of recipes and stories from notable chefs, farmers, producers, winemakers, gardeners and everyday people who are reducing their impact on the environment by altering their food choices. These inspiring people eat seasonally, shop locally, buy organic, reduce food waste, purchase ethically and make backyards and public spaces productive.

Not only for the conscious consumer, this book will appeal to anyone who enjoys good food and wine, beautiful images and wants to learn about sustainability issues in an informal and practical way.

The Sustainable Table was created because the publishers believe that every dollar we spend is a vote for the type of food system and earth we want to be a part of. Shouldn't we be voting for a healthy planet and population?

This book has been self-published by a Melbourne-based environmental not-for-profit, Yaubula. The small team at Yaubula feel that by tapping into people’s passion for food they can help to overcome today’s environmental challenges, one meal at a time.

All Sustainable Table company proceeds from the sale of this book will go towards the company's sustainable development projects both locally and abroad.

The book features:

- Comprehensive information about each contributor to the magazine, including chefs, schools, authors, non-profit organisations, farmers and more. Contributors include Adam D'Sylva (from Coda Bar & Restaurant); Dan Hunter (from the Royal Mail Hotel); Annie Smithers (from Annie Smithers' Bistrot); Aaron Turner (from Loam); North Melbourne Primary School (part of the Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Garden Program), Costa Georgiadis (Costa's Garden Odyssey, SBS) and award winning author & illustrator Graeme Base.

- Recipes for all occasions, including starters, mains, sides, desserts and baked treats.
