About the book

Marcus Samuelsson, award-winning chef, restaurateur, and cookbook author, explores plant-forward eating around the globe, learning from chefs and farmers from the Caribbean and South America to East Asia and Africa, highlighting healthful global produce and food traditions.

In recent years, Marcus Samuelsson has reimagined the way he cooks, focusing more and more on nourishing, healthy, of-the-earth ingredients from around the world: coconut, rice, corn, acai, plantains, teff, chillis and more. As Marcus illuminates, these ancient ingredients are heirlooms, telling stories of ancestry, migration, and resilience. They bind communities, and if we look closer, they also offer a path toward healthy living.

In Back to Green, Marcus inspires readers to rediscover the cuisines of the globe that have provided us with healthy, delicious food for centuries. Countries in the Caribbean, the Americas, the Pacific, Asia, and Africa have long incorporated superfoods into their diets.

Recipes include

  • Papaya passion fruit smoothie
  • Steamed black cod with spicy pineapple salsa
  • Eggplant omelet with banana ketchup
  • Rice noodle bowl with ginger and garlic broth
  • Lentil salad with coconut turmeric vinaigrette
  • Vegetarian injera lasagna

With profiles of chefs and producers all over the world, Back to Green is a sweeping and groundbreaking celebration of cultures that have long looked at food through the lens of sustainability, ritual, and healing. It is a trek around the globe that will lead you back home to your kitchen, armed with soul-nourishing recipes that are waiting to be honored and passed down through generations once more.
