Cookbook

Sustainable food on a budget in Lunetten

Why a cookbook?

Local residents with a small budget want to eat organic, sustainable or healthy food, but often find it too expensive. In Duurzaam Utrecht 2030 we investigated what people want. In conversations with visitors of the free shop Lunetten the idea for a cookbook came up. In the coming period we will collect the favorite sustainable, healthy and affordable recipes of local residents. We try out these recipes together. Then we place a photo of the dish with the recipe and a piece about why the recipe is a favorite on this web page. Finally we ask a publisher to publish the cookbook.
