WELL -

So I have been eating too, too much carry out and not cooking.  I have been reading about cooking locally and seasonally.  Time to actually pay attention to the food, and the preparations that will enhance the lovely, fresh, tender new food.

I have talked about " A Cook's Year in a Welsh Farmhouse" previously.

I have just bought "Japanese Farm Food".

I am inspired by people who cook locally, add their own flair from their cultural history and experiment boldly.

I want to make food that is simple, that is local, that is seasonal, that is visually appealing.

My veggie bag this week sounds lovely - lettuces, scallions, radishes.  I am going to try to find simple preparations that are delicious and visually appealing.  Stay tuned to see if I can make it happen!
