Hemp has been used for decades for clothing, rope, and plastics, but it also has serious food value. As hemp becomes more accessible, and public awareness of its health benefits grows, demand for the inexpensive plant in its variety of culinary forms—as flour, oil, and seeds—is expected to increase. At the forefront of this trend is Denis Cicero, owner of one of New York's trendiest restaurants. Hemp, which tastes like a cross between a hazelnut and a walnut, is incorporated into every recipe in this cookbook. Hemp waffles, a fusilli salad made with hemp seed oil, and even a scrumptious chocolate banana dessert, all based on the restaurant's menu, are only a few of the innovative, nutritious, and socially responsible recipes featured. Also included is a list of sources where readers can buy hemp products for cooking.

Review
"The Galaxy Global Eatery Hemp Cookbook is a unique cookbook concerning the culinary uses of hemp—well known for its applications in clothing, rope, and plastics but little known for its seeds' taste (like a cross between hazelnut and a walnut) and the cooking uses of its flour and oils. Superbly written and presented by Denis Cicero (owner of one of New York's most up-and-coming restaurants) with the assistance of professional chefs Kris Czartoryski, Suzanne Gruber, and Michael Lipp, The Galaxy Global Eatery Hemp Cookbook features easy-to-follow recipes, enhanced with luscious full-color photographs, a simple glossary, and a true appreciation of the wonderful delicacies that can be enhanced with the flavor of hemp. Dishes offered include Fruit Hemp Salad, Hemp Cheese Sticks, Hempnut-Crusted Catfish Filets, Lemon Hemparoons, and a great many more."

This review is from: The Galaxy Global Eatery Hemp Cookbook (Hardcover)
My only gripe first: recipes should come with their preparation time, and perhaps even with the kilojoule value for those who need to pay attention to it.
Other than that it's a beautifully designed book with truly unique recipes that just beg to be prepared in your own home. Throughout the book are two types of references: one about the nutritional value of certain foodstuffs, the other one about hemp itself, and where/how it has been used throughout the millennia, even by at least two US Presidents. The book focuses on the versatility of (non-THC) hemp in the kitchen, although I would have liked to see a few more references to the use of hemp in general. However, it does a brilliant job in introducing those with little knowledge about this miracle plant to its culinary (and health) benefits, and thus makes an important contribution to the 'de-demonization' of hemp in general. Even if you're not a hempnut (pardon the pun), you should buy this book. It'll then only be a matter of time before hemp finds its way from the kitchen into your daily life, and that - at least according to some people - is exactly what's needed to save this planet. The benefits of hemp are legendary, but it wasn't until Dennis Cicero's book that the beauty of hemp found its most important application: an incredibly healthy staple food.
