Seaweed Cookbooks Available for Free Download

I usually try and practice the recipes I put up but there are SO many out there that I needed to share two links to some free cookbooks that have been created using New England seaweed so you can have some inspiration.

This cookbook developed by the Kendal Foundation’s Food Vision Prize winners in 2018 was done in partnership with many chefs across New England. The free PDF download includes fish recipes as well as a section fully dedicated to kelp. About kelp they say “Our ocean is always changing but kelp is thriving. By choosing kelp for your dishes you are helping to diversify coastal incomes, reduce ocean acidification, and you are supporting small sea farmers grow sea greens. Choosing kelp as a food source mans you can positively impact the economic and environmental health of New England's coastal areas.” If you try any of these, send me a pic!

Maine has a fabulous seaweed celebration (which we are adapting here in Southern New England April 17- April 25th - learn more here)….anyway, Maine’s SeaGrant team helps organize this event and even created this cookbook which seaweed farms were able to brand and leverage to get more people cooking with kelp. I have done several of these recipes and will do several more because they are so accessible.
