Food tips

Track down specials and buy in bulk. Buying in bulk means less trips, and can be a good way of reducing your food miles.


Have a Local Food Party : Instead of counting time or distance, simply enjoy the pleasures of local food by organizing a potluck meal in which everything must be local. Keep your fingers crossed that someone will splurge on handmade goat cheese, and don’t forget some local wine, beer or juice. If you’re organizing a big catered event, the Society for Nutrition Education has a downloadable brochure to help you line up local food resources.

Ingredients
1/2cupcurrants, dried
1eachcelery, head
2eachapples, golden delicious
6eachcelery, leaves, pale green
4eachparsley, sprigs
10eachwalnuts, cracked, left in large pieces
2tablespoonwalnut oil
1lemon, juice OR champagne vinegar
1salt
1pepper, freshly ground

Directions:

If the currants are hard, cover them with warm water and set them aside to soften while you cut the celery and apples. When they're soft, after 10 minutes or so, drain them and squeeze out the water.

Separate the stalks of celery and peel the tougher outer stalks. Slice the celery into thin pieces, straight across or at an angle. Cut the apples into quarters or sixths if they're large and thinly slice them crosswise. Finely chop the celery leaves and the parsley and crack the nuts.

Combine the celery, apples, currants, celery leaves, parsley and walnuts in a bowl. Toss them with just enough walnut oil to coat everything lightly. Add the lemon juice or vinegar to taste, salt lightly, season with pepper and toss again.
