[3] The book is separated into three parts. The first part is an informational section providing facts and guidance on how to choose foods that are not only good for the body but also the environment. [3] [4] The next two sections provide the recipe cookbook. The first section of recipes are contributions from real young women from various areas of the globe. [4] The second recipe section and third and final part of the book is a compilation of recipes provided by Paul's sister, Kate Paul, a professional celebrity chef. [4]

Author

Anthea Paul is from Sydney Australia. [6] She has worked as a photographer and writer for woman's surfing magazines, and has also made contributions to various other international magazines. [7] Other international work Paul has been involved in includes being an art director in the publishing, fashion, and design industries doing photo styling and editing, and trend forecasting. [7] Some of the negative characteristics of this work, such as frequent contact with eating disorders, and airbrushing of unrealistic ideal photographs of women inspired Paul in her Girlosophy technique of portraying real, natural unaltered women.

Moosewood Restaurant American restaurant in Ithaca, New York

Moosewood Restaurant is an American restaurant founded in Ithaca, New York in 1973 during the natural foods movement within the American counterculture. Its original goal was to provide dishes made of "local, sustainable" food. In addition, it has "maintained a structure where those who worked there also collectively owned and managed the place." It was also popular with countercultural icons: "Crosby and Nash once shared drinks at the bar, and Allen Ginsberg ended his dinner with a Moosewood brownie and black coffee. Even the Grateful Dead stopped by during their trip for Cornell’s Barton Hall show, only to go unrecognized by the members of the collective."
