awareness means choices...

it seems to me that people are becoming more aware of where our food comes from. movies like "food inc" are asking us to question what is important about it and how does it effect our lives?

there is quite a movement for and against genetically modified food. as we learn and begin to care about what we feed our families, ourselves and our customers, we see the choices emerging on so many levels. it is really exciting... community supported agriculture (CSA) programs that bring local farm produce to your door and much more.

it is easy to get caught up in the fear of what is happening within the various food industries, but personally i want to use my choices to as a voice.

i want to eat what is grown with integrity.

i want to cook with the spirit of pure authentic ingredients.

nature has done a beautiful job on it's own.

just think of a ripe heirloom tomato bursting at the seams -with a finger twist of sea salt...

the startlingly cold briney oyster just opened...

the slow cooked love infused bolognese...

simple, nourishing on so many levels.

we are so lucky to have choices.
