I'm so disappointed by the produce in my area... the tomatoes at the farmer's market are basically the same tasteless ones as at the supermarket. How can we get taste and deliciousness back into local foods?
About Barbara Kingsolver on eating locally, that is the European way. When you are in Italy, you don't even eat food from all over Italy. You eat food from the local area. As each food comes into season, it is celebrated at it's peak and eaten in as many ways as possible until it is gone. Each food is looked forward to and fully appreciated until the next ones is ready.
I am also a major fan of all of Barbara Kingsolver's writing and look forward to this new book.
I am so thrilled to be listening to your interview with Barbara Kingsolver....I will be reviewing her book for my website.
The home page of my website speaks to eating and cooking foods in the season and it has been my focus to speak to home cooks through my website articles about this issue.
Sincerely,
Ann Hall Every, CCP
