What is reducetarian cooking?
The reducetarian movement recognizes that it is difficult to entirely eliminate animal protein from the diet, and, instead encourages that we reduce our animal protein consumption by 50%, by incorporating more plant-based food in everyday meals. Under this section, you will find “reducetarian” recipes that “aim to improve human health, protect the environment, and spare farm animals from cruelty by reducing societal consumption of animal products.” Let’s together commit to eliminating food and water waste and reducing the use of meat, poultry, eggs, seafood, and dairy in my kitchen by at least 50 percent starting today. The recent global climate events make it imperative that we make small changes in personal behavior to slow down global warming and large scale destruction. Our collective action can have a significant impact on the environment.
Dhrubaa Mukherjee--An academic by profession, a contributor to Huffington Post, a dancer by passion, a compulsive foodie, a former flight attendant, and a constant traveler, I am, what they call, a transnational gourmand (gourmet?). I am not only fascinated by the tastes, colors, textures and aromas of food, I am equally intrigued by the histories, traditions and cultural inter-junctions that drive/influence recipes.
