Introducing Pure Earth’s Kitchen, a cookbook curated by Chef Graciela Montaño of Mexico City. Chef Montaño, a Pure Earth ambassador, is committed to keeping lead out of our clay, spices, and kitchens. Published in 2022, Pure Earth’s Kitchen cookbook features 50 recipes from Mexican and Indian chefs, and tips on how to keep your food and kitchen safe from lead.
Contributors to this book spanned fifteen chefs, including Chef T.J. Steele of Michelin-star NYC restaurant Claro, one turmeric producer, and seven potters from Pure Earth’s Circle of Women project. They come from countries as diverse as Mexico, India, France, USA, Singapore, and Germany.
Above all, this cookbook highlights the rich materials given to us by the natural world– clay in Mexico and spices in India– to honor heritage and make healthy, delicious food. It also invites us to join the global movement to stop lead pollution and poisoning. We hope that you enjoy this global effort to preserve tradition and create a healthier world.
