NATIF has put together a Hard Cover spiral Book with over 60 recipes that are nutritious, rustic, delicious, authentic and easy.  Plant-based, whole-food recipes and there's something for everyone no matter if your vegan, vegetarian or flexitarian.  It's also a road trip friendly size, cause we love getting into the nature.

All the native ingredients you need to make these recipes are on the NATIF website and the rest can be found at your local general store.

We encourage replacing any ingredient with what you have at home and need to use up, so you maintain a sustainable, economical kitchen.
