thinking way
We can't think narrowly. We have to think in the biggest possible way.
children believe school
I believe there should be breakfast, lunch and afternoon snack, all for free and for every child that goes to school. And all food that is good, clean and fair. It's unfair to charge for food in schools, especially to charge for food that is making children sick.
shopping cooking rhythm
Cooking and shopping for food brings rhythm and meaning to our lives.
creative cooking quality
It is a fundamental fact that no cook, however creative and capable, can produce a dish of a quality any higher than that of its raw ingredients.
cost should farmers
I do feel like food should cost more, because we aren't paying farmers a living wage. It has to cost more.
privilege good-food should
Good food should be a right not a privilege
taste healthy-eating eating-healthy-food
Let things taste of what they are.
spring littles tiny
I love those tiny little onions in the spring that are so small they're almost like a little chive.
quality lists purity
When you're really considering all the qualities of food, purity is right there at the top of the list. I'm unwilling to eat food that has been adulterated.
ingredients good-food depends
Good food depends almost entirely on good ingredients.
environmental environment eating
Eating is an environmental act.
integrity years roots
People cooked with a certain integrity before fast food, 50 or 60 years ago. When the cheap food arrived, and we didn't have the education and deep cultural roots to hold on, we got swept away by fast, cheap and easy.
giving humanity tables
Our full humanity is contingent on our hospitality; we can be complete only when we are giving something away; when we sit at the table and pass the peas to the person next to us we see that person in a whole new way.
garden cooks
Always explore your garden and go to the market before you decide what cook.
