Ocean greens Explore the world of edible seaweed and sea vegetables : a way of eating for your health and the planet's

The title brings to mind floating gardens out in the ocean, but instead of man-made gardens, these gardens are natural and native. This wonderful cookbook brings great information and recipes for using sea vegetables and seaweeds. Learning that sea vegetables are a good source of nutrients is a plus; the nutritional information in the book will be invaluable, especially for people who have certain vitamin needs or an allergy to iodine. And who would have thought there were so many different types of seaweeds and vegetables to choose from wakame, kombu, agar, samphire, nori, and more. There is a section on how to use and eat these greens, and an abundance of recipes to tantalize and stimulate the taste buds. Recipes include a pesto using seaweed, pumpkin and seaweed pancakes, and beautiful photographs round out the cookbook. Vegans and vegetarians alike will enjoy this book.--Gibson, Gerri Copyright 2016 Booklist
