Buy Local Food : Strawberries, blueberries and many other kinds of fruit often are available from farms that allow you to do the harvesting (or not, if you prefer to pay for the cost of picking). Many fruits are easy to freeze, and apples will keep all winter in a cool corner of the garage.

Buy Local Food : As an ‘everything in moderation’ kind of guy, I’d find a strict local food diet fascinating but obsessive and intimidating, says Peter Marks, program coordinator for the Appalachian Sustainable Agriculture Project in Asheville, N.C. He suggests a more gradual approach: Every week or month, replace one food in your diet that’s provided by a big, faraway company with a locally grown food.

A few beef tips

Beef is much more loved in the United states than anyplace else on the planet. If you were to total the steak and burger based meals eaten in the world, you would see that the United states eats not quite 25% of the total amount.

When buying beef steak you are better off shopping from a quality butcher instead of a supermarket. A specialised butcher is likely to stock a wider range of beef cuts than the big-name general store, he will know the full history of his meat, is more likely to have stored it properly, and he will be able to advise you on cooking procedures.

Ingredients And Procedures

5 Pounds Chuck roast, cut into large cubes

Flour 9 Tablespoons Butter

6 Tablespoons Olive oil

Salt and pepper 1/4 Cup Cognac -- warmed

1/2 Pound Bacon -- diced

3 Cloves Garlic -- coarsely chopped

2 Carrots -- coarsely chopped

2 Leeks -- coarsely chopped

3 Cups Onions -- coarsely chopped

Parsley -- chopped 1 Bay leaf

1 Teaspoon Thyme

1 Bottle Burgundy

Water 36 Whole Small onions

Sugar 36 Mushroom caps

Juice of half a lemon

1. Roll the beef cubes in flour and brown them on all sides in a skillet over high heat in four tablespoons each of the butter and olive oil.

2. Sprinkle the meat with salt and pepper, pour the cognac over it and ignite. When the flame dies, transfer the meat to a three-quart casserole.

3. Preheat oven to moderate (350F)

4. To the skillet add the bacon, garlic, carrots, leeks, chopped onions and two tablespoons chopped parsley. Cook, stirring, until the bacon is crisp and the vegetables are lightly browned. Transfer to the casserole with the meat and add the bay leaf, thyme, Burgundy and enough water to barely cover the meat. Cover and bake 1 1/2 hours.

5. Prepare a beurre manie by blending one tablespoon each butter and flour and stir into the casserole bit by bit. Return the casserole to the oven and continue cooking 2 - 3 hours longer.

6. Brown the small onions in 2 tablespoons butter with a dash of sugar. Add a little water, cover and cook until the onions are almost tender.

7. Saute the mushrooms in two tablespoons each of the butter and oil until lightly browned on one side. Sprinkle with lemon juice and turn to brown the other side.

8. To serve, add the onions to the casserole and garnish with the mushrooms and parsley.
