Eat for Pleasure, Eat Local

Food can be sustainable, artisanal, green–how to choose? Take a cue from Slow Food, a movement that emphasizes the pleasures of regional food, and try recipes that highlight fresh ingredients found at local farmers' markets. For a truly Slow Food experience, take the time to chat with your next-door gardener or the breadmaker at your neighborhood bakery, and see what you can learn from the folks who make the food you eat.
