READ THIS: Anna Getty’s Easy Green Organic Cook Well, Eat Well, Live Well By Anna Getty

Not many people can sum up their life philosophy in just one word, but for Anna Getty, it’s all about balance. Anna lives her life trying to promote a healthy balance with nature and she believes that anyone can experience much of this balance through food, a philosophy she introduces in Anna Getty’s Easy Green Organic. It is Earthy Peachy in the kitchen! The recipes will delight you and inspire you and Whom You Know loves it.

More than a cookbook, Anna Getty’s Easy Green Organic examines the transformative possibilities of our relationship with food: yes, there are plenty of inventive and delicious recipes, but Anna takes the concept further, explaining how to shop for organic, seasonal, and local ingredients; how to keep an eco-friendly kitchen; and how to cook meals that are as scrumptious to eat as they are healthful for the earth.

And scrumptious they are – as well as generally quick and uncomplicated. For a casual cocktail party, serve Roasted Tomato and Goat Cheese Toasts or little Quinoa Croquettes with Cilantro Yogurt Sauce for dipping. Saffron Cauliflower Soup is beautiful to look at and velvety smooth to eat. For a simple weeknight dinner, try the Strawberry Arugula Salad along with a heartwarming bowl of Fusilli with Toasted Walnuts, Olives, Capers, Bread Crumbs, and Pecorino Cheese. Sweets like Coconut Custard with Fresh Mango and Mint Chutney and Pear and Blueberry Crisp with Brown Sugar Sour Cream are just two of the many temptations found in the dessert chapter.

Let Anna Getty’s Easy Green Organic help you reconnect to food and its power to nourish your mind, body, and spirit. Empower yourself through your kitchen and the food you prepare, and take it one step at a time. Packed with sound advice, plenty of color photographs, and a smorgasbord of fabulous recipes, Anna Getty’s Easy Green Organic is the guide of choice for discerning, conscious home cooks everywhere. Although Peachy Deegan could never part with her microwave, she has made small changes as a result of Getty's philosophy. Whom You Know recommends Anna Getty’s Easy Green Organic! Now we are waiting for her to open a restaurant in Manhattan...

"As you know from my past features, Peachy Deegan and I were in the same class at Boston College prior to either of us becoming entrepreneurs. When we played together on the BC Alumni softball team in Central Park years ago, she mentioned she could not find a great dentist in Manhattan and could often be found networking on her phone in the outfield hiding from the ball. She was my second patient ever in 2006 when I opened my dental practice; I was one of the first sponsors on Whom You Know and the first Mover and Shaker featured in 2009 and have worked with her continuously since. She's even talked her friends that are doctors into being my patients, and they subsequently send their hospital colleagues. I don't know anyone that is as great of a networker and writer as Peachy, nevermind that she is upstanding and always good for her word. Cosmopolitan Dental is so happy to be in the company of the caliber of major brands she works with today, and although she will tell you a million ways to get your teeth dirty between Peachy's Picks, Terrific Takeout and Peachy's Pantry, Peachy Deegan will tell you there is only one way to get your teeth clean!"
