"Easy Green Organic" Anna Getty

Anna Getty‘s cookbook, Easy Green Organic, doesn’t necessarily mirror her own tastes in food or her hard set beliefs about making food purchases. The actress calls herself a flexitarian, but is more comfortable with vegetarian cooking, often eating vegan. She leans so much towards plant-based cooking, she was forced to ask for help in creating meat dishes because the publishers of Easy Green Organic, Chronicle Books, didn’t want the book to be vegetarian.

And just because “organic” is in the book title, doesn’t mean she looks down upon those who aren’t flocking to Whole Food every Saturday.

“I like Jamie Oliver’s approach, because his focus isn’t on organic, it’s on getting people off really toxic food, like fast food and preservative-filled processed foods,” said the great-granddaughter of J. Paul Getty in an interview with Organic Authority.

I’ll also make an energy gel to eat if I start to feel hungry or weak during a workout
