Food, History & Culture

I was perusing the NY Times today while at work and came across an interesting article about a book that combines a couple of my favorite subjects - Food, history & culture! I've been familar with the Seed Savers Exchange for a few years now (it's usually where I order most of the Victory Garden) they've been selling seeds and plants that have been entered into the Ark of Taste the past few seasons. My two cents.. all things being equal, why not grow something spiced with true American cultural history as opposed to just the same old home center six pack o' plants or cardboard display stand of seeds. I just might have to buy this one, oh and save $11 by pre-ordering the book on Amazon.com by May 15th!


Later.....

After checking out the Slow Food webpage (the organization that runs the Ark of Taste) my interest has been piqued.... The membership price is a little steep but the work that they do is certainly justified. There's also a chapter in Columbia! Check out Slow Food USA!! This book is a definite buy now!
