About this ebook

The New York Times bestselling cookbook author shares a practical and inspiring handbook for political activism—with recipes.

Today, activism is as essential as a good meal. And when people search for ways to resist injustice and express support for civil rights, environmental protections, and more, they begin by gathering around the table to talk and plan.

Turshen includes a dozen of the healthy, affordable recipes she’s known for, plus more than 15 recipes from a diverse range of celebrated chefs. With stimulating lists, extensive resources, and essays from activists in the worlds of food, politics, and social causes, Feed the Resistance is a must-have handbook for anyone looking to make a difference.

Ratings and reviews

There is no field or discipline that narcissistic and totalitarian Leftists won't seek to politicize and corrupt with their obnoxiously Maoist, self-congratulatory and intolerant orthodoxies, and, this disgraceful, so-called "cookbook" is proof of this. The introduction opens with a bitter, dishonest and infantile rant against President Trump, setting the tone for the rest of this utterly embittered and sanctimonious vanity project. The scant recipes possess no culinary theme and have been thrown together by the participants in this grotesque affair of Leftist zealotry and spite. I'll stick to buying cookbooks that focus on food, not on disseminating obnoxious Leftist screeds.
