"Through thought-provoking projects and commentary, Cerpina and Stenslie encourage us to think and reflect in order to spark our collective imagination. Together, they envision possibilities for our edible future and beyond!"

“The Anthropocene Cookbook is not your typical recipe book. It is more important than that. It is a cookbook for the imagination, containing recipes that remind us how to imagine, speculate, dream — and see the world otherwise.”
Julian Bleecker, Founder, Near Future Laboratory; Chief Executive Officer, OMATA
“Around the table is the right place to think about our future, and adapting to the Anthropocene requires the creativity of the kitchen. This recipe book is a must-have for people willing to experiment with radical ideas through cooking.”
Matteo Vignoli, Assistant Professor, University of Bologna; Founder, Future Food Institute
By turns enlightening and profound, difficult and preposterous, Cerpina and Stenslie's account is an impassioned call for 'visionary thinking' and dismantling food taboos. Climate-concerned cooks with an open mind will find much to chew on in this surprising culinary tour.
Publishers Weekly

“If you are looking for solutions to the great problems of mankind, you will probably not expect them to be found in a cookbook. But that is exactly what The Anthropocene Cookbook wants: to provide answers to the question of how humans can deal with impending catastrophes such as food shortages and the loss of species.”
Der Spiegel
