Food tips

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.

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.

Ingredients And Procedures

1/2 lb Firm tofu; patted dry

1 tb Tamari (soy) sauce

2/3 c Natural style peanut butter

1 tb Lemon juice

1/2 ts Minced fresh ginger

1 Garlic clove; minced

2 tb Water

A little fatty but great in a sandwich with cucumber slices! Puree the tofu and tamari into a smooth thick paste. Transfer into a bowl. With a fork, vigorously beat in all remaining ingredients. =-If you are like me, just toss everything into the blender and forget the fork part=- Let stand 30 mins at room temperature before serving. This will keep 3 to 5 days covered in the refrigerator. Vegetarian Pleasures by Jeanne Lemlin. FROM: BRIAN DONIVAN (PHXT90A)
