We love cookbooks! I mean what’s not to like about having someone tell us what to cook for dinner after a long day of work, right?! The only problem is that there are so many options and choosing one isn’t always the easiest thing to do. So we thought we give you a list of our favorite cookbooks here at Eco 18. Let us know if any of your favorites made the list, if not, leave us a note and share your faves!

So with that being said, we can assume Sam can teach us a thing or two about the way we eat. He’s all about simplifying our food while still getting all the nutrients – he also spends a large amount of his time making an impact in our communities by empowering our country to eat better.
