Sam Kass, former chef to the Obamas, makes it easier to do a little better for your diet every day, through smart ways to think about shopping, setting up your kitchen so the healthy stuff comes to hand most naturally, and through 90 delicious, simple recipes. Kass's plan to eat a little better. Knowing that sustainability and healthfulness happen when new habits and choices seem appealing rather than drastic and punitive, Kass shares his philosophy and methods to help make it easy to choose, cook, and eat delicious foods without depriving yourself of agency or pleasure. Going organic, local, and so forth all the time is just not realistic for most people, and that's ok. It's all about choosing and doing a little better, and how those choices add up to big change. It's the philosophy he helped the Obamas instill in their home, both in Chicago and that big white one in Washington. Sam Kass was trained as a chef by one of Austria's greatest chefs, Christian Domschitz. He helped Michelle Obama create the first major vegetable garden at the White House since Eleanor Roosevelt's Victory Garden.
