Overview

AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES AND USA TODAY BESTSELLER

In Cool Food, celebrated actor and philanthropist Robert Downey Jr. and New York Times bestselling author Thomas Kostigen team up to discover how we can erase our carbon footprints-one bite at a time.

What we eat matters-to us, and to the planet. Cool food is a game-changing new food category and way of thinking that can help fix the climate. This engaging and persuasive book will show you how to make simple choices, starting today-in the supermarket, in your kitchen, and in the world-to reduce your environmental impact. Hundreds of cool foods exist, but until now have gone largely uncelebrated for their climate-positive powers. Some of these foods may already be on your shelf, and some are just on the horizon. But cool food is much more than just a shopping list: it's a way of life vitally important to our future.

Packed with eye-opening information, actionable items, and two dozen delicious recipes, Cool Food comes alive with engaging storytelling and refreshing humor. Robert and Tom have talked with experts around the globe-from farmers who are pioneering new pathways to more sustainable food, to cutting-edge, climate-friendly chefs. In seeking answers to what each of us can do, this intrepid duo discovered:

the power of ancient grains;

revolutionary farming techniques that create more sustainable foods;

the unexpected benefits of meal kits;

future foods that are made of thin air;

delicious and different recipes that do the world good, and much more.

What we choose to eat, where we shop, and how we plan our meals are daily choices that can have a wide impact on the world, whether we realize it or not. We have the power with each one of our daily purchases and our individual food habits to encourage a healthier and more sustainable food system for everyone.

Join Robert and Tom on this fun, exciting, and enlightening adventure and learn how to become part of the Cool Food revolution.


Editorial Reviews

MARCH 2024 - AudioFile

Robert Downey, Jr., teamed up with prolific climate change author Thomas Kostigen to write and narrate a fun yet impactful audio guide to choosing food habits that will cool the planet. The passionate duo seek to popularize a new climate-friendly food category--cool food--to represent the best edible options for producers and consumers. Downey, Jr., is an absolute riot to listen to--whether popping in with a "fast fact" in each chapter, reading a vegetarian recipe, or describing how his own family eats. Kostigen's scientific expertise carries through his soft-spoken performance, which contrasts well with Downey, Jr.'s, pops of narrative energy. Experienced voice actor Deepti Gupta enjoyably narrates much of the audiobook, bringing an international tone to a production aiming to effect change globally. J.T. © AudioFile 2024, Portland, Maine
