The Conscious Cook: Towards a Healthy and Sustainable Cuisine is much more than a cookbook. It is a visually and intellectually rich reference work, written and designed by Régis Gonçalves. In this book, his love for art, sustainability, healthy food, and social change come together in a surprising, colorful, and personal publication.

This English-language coffee table book takes you through exotic Brazilian recipes, personal memories and urgent social themes. A balanced combination of content and inspiration, enjoyable to browse and to cook from.

In a time when health, climate and food production are increasingly interconnected, Régis argues for a conscious approach to eating. He brings together his experience as an artist, researcher and chef in an accessible manifesto for healthier, more plant-based and more sustainable cooking.

Drawing on his childhood on a Brazilian farm, where nothing was wasted and seasonal rhythms shaped the kitchen, Régis developed a deep appreciation for pure ingredients. In the book he shares not only recipes, but also reflections on food waste, overconsumption, global inequality and the impact of our food choices on the climate.

The Conscious Cook is a distinctive book that makes a thoughtful gift for people who care about art, food and meaning. It invites conversation at the table, reflection in the kitchen and a more conscious way of living.
