Hemp has been used for decades for clothing, rope, and plastics, but it also has serious food value. As hemp becomes more accessible, and public awareness of its health benefits grows, demand for the inexpensive plant in its variety of culinary forms—as flour, oil, and seeds—is expected to increase. At the forefront of this trend is Denis Cicero, owner of one of New York's trendiest restaurants. Hemp, which tastes like a cross between a hazelnut and a walnut, is incorporated into every recipe in this cookbook. Hemp waffles, a fusilli salad made with hemp seed oil, and even a scrumptious chocolate banana dessert, all based on the restaurant's menu, are only a few of the innovative, nutritious, and socially responsible recipes featured. Also included is a list of sources where readers can buy hemp products for cooking.

Review:

""The Galaxy Global Eatery Hemp Cookbook" is a unique cookbook concerning the culinary uses of hemp--well known for its applications in clothing, rope, and plastics but little known for its seeds' taste (like a cross between hazelnut and a walnut) and the cooking uses of its flour and oils. Superbly written and presented by Denis Cicero (owner of one of New York's most up-and-coming restaurants) with the assistance of professional chefs Kris Czartoryski, Suzanne Gruber, and Michael Lipp, "The Galaxy Global Eatery Hemp Cookbook" features easy-to-follow recipes, enhanced with luscious full-color photographs, a simple glossary, and a true appreciation of the wonderful delicacies that can be enhanced with the flavor of hemp. Dishes offered include Fruit Hemp Salad, Hemp Cheese Sticks, Hempnut-Crusted Catfish Filets, Lemon Hemparoons, and a great many more."--"Midwest Book Review"
