Book Review: Tutu Goes Green


Tutu Goes Green by Tulani Thomas is on the shelf at Red Rooster in Harlem. Over the rare groove and coffee there's books and oddities to discuss on a rough wood bookcase. Tutu Goes Green describes perfectly the required lifestyle practices of green living in the simplest and attractive terms.

The illustrations  (by Seitu Hayden) show Tutu in environments where she was recyling, refilling her water bottle, carrying her own bag to the grocery and -well I'll just have to let you read it yourself or to a friend for the other greening strategies she employed. The delicious coffee was served in ceramic cups and the refills were piping hot. When our 3 egg omlets arrived, filled up to over flowing with yummy sauteed spinach and goat cheese, it was time to put the adorable surprise book away and have brunch!  Visit the Red Rooster for an amazing brunch with a live DJ, a kindly super smooth wait staff and biscuits from the heavens - sit at the second table from the front window near the bar. Harlem bustles with style out the big front windows onto Malcom X Blvd.  Let Tutu teach the green here.

CHF: Although Corbin Hill Farm is inspired by the CSA model, we are actually a Farm Share. Unlike most CSAs, we offer flexible membership terms in order to make fresh produce accessible to the diverse communities we serve. Our primary goal is to eradicate food deserts in Harlem and the South Bronx. MG:  Is this a profitable venture? CHF: We are...
