==Reception==
The cookbook received mainly positive reviews.
However, similar to the Satu'li Canteen, some fans of the series dislike that it is trying to promote the meat/dairy industry, from chicken, fish to even insects (in the taco recipe). Factory farming is known for its environmental footprint, and some feel it is antithetical and hypocritical to the environmental and animal welfare themes of the series, as animals suffer and die in slaughterhouses. While the Na'vi may eat animals on Pandora as they are still in a hunter-gatherer society, this is a cookbook meant for humans on Earth. James Cameron is a vegan, once created a plant-based Avatar coobook, refuses to serve meat on-set for the films, commenting, "Eating meat is not only killing us, it’s killing the planet. The environmental impacts are enormous" and "The single biggest thing that an individual can do to combat climate change is to stop eating animals."Cameron Brings Pro-Vegan Message To Sundance Docu And To The Set Of ‘Avatar’ Sequels Green Film Shooting article
