OMG! As an English Major and a foodie, I couldn’t ask for anything more. Once again, Marthe read an intreview in the NYTimes and bought me a book, this time for Christmas. WOW. A food anthology (with recipes!!!) by Molly O’Neill. Thomas Jefferson’s recipe for Ice Cream, my first exposure to Jean Anthelme Brillant-Savarin (how did I miss HIM?), but basically a reader for american food and map of who we are, where we have been, and a maybe of where we are going.
I have had the privalage of working with with some amazing chefs in the US (while I worked for Green Circle Organics\Sunnyside Farms), those who spearhead where we go, and I can honestly say, that givein the chef’s I know and the growers I have worked with, I have hope. Hope for our farms, hope for our bodies, and hope for our tables.
