“Protest Kitchen is a welcome challenge to the world’s most ignored social justice space–our own kitchens. Adams and Messina arm hungry advocates with the knowledge needed to bring trips to the grocery store into line with their values, all while providing practical mouth-watering cuisine to fuel bodies and souls. This delicious page-turner exists in a category of its own. Do yourself a favor and invite Protest Kitchen into yours!”

“Protest Kitchen exposes the systemic abuses that result from standard industrialized eating patterns, and provides actionable advice for those who empathize with the exploited. This powerful book illustrates how we can resist oppression and create a more just and compassionate world through conscientious food choices.”

“In Protest Kitchen, Carol Adams and Virginia Messina make it very clear how what happens in kitchens, backyards, and other places where food is prepared and consumed has enormous impacts that go way beyond the walls of slaughterhouses, restaurants, and homes. Choosing a plant-based diet is, indeed, a significant form of protest and resistance against a violent, destructive, and discriminatory status quo, and the authors clearly show how personal choices can empower all individuals and make enormous differences not only for the animals and people involved, but also for society as a whole.”

“Protest Kitchen comes at a time in which most vegan cookbooks choose to be apolitical–choose not to ask their audience how either collusion with, or resistance against, an oppressive system goes beyond mere taste and desires and begins in the kitchen. Connecting powerful narratives with creative recipes, this book is a much needed gem for those ready to protest [and cook] against injustices such as speciesism, environmental racism, and misogyny. The personal [palate] is political!”
