The Local Farmers Market (Finally)

By Drew | Published: July 21, 2008

I’m lucky enough to live near the West Side Market. As good as it is though, the produce mostly isn’t locally grown. So I’ve been looking forward to the local farmers market, which sets up Friday night in the local community center parking lot.

I thought it was starting several weeks ago, but this past Friday was the first time I finally made it when they were there. And of course I forgot to go to the bank first. Good thing I didn’t, or I would have bought a lot more than we could possibly eat in a week.

    Vegetables are so photogenic. Have you ever noticed that grocery store ads always show overflowing baskets of fruits and vegetables, and maybe some raw meat, but never Twinkies or boxes of Cheez-Its? Clearly, they’re appealing to people’s ideal of what they MIGHT buy when they go to the store, as opposed to what they actually buy in reality. Which is Twinkies and Cheez-Its.

    Cooking used to be all about making food that tasted good. But somewhere along the way, we seem to have decided the diet-of-the-week was more important. How to Cook Like Your Grandmother is a return to recipes and techniques that are based on what tastes good, not on junk science and fad diets. You won't find the words lite, low, lean, free or skim anywhere. This is all real food, cooked the way Grandma would have done it.

    People have been making and eating food as long as there have been people. And food. But somehow we've let ourselves believe that it's something only experts can do "right". That's where Starting From Scratch comes in. I'm not saying you'll go from zero to hero just by reading it, but at least now you'll know what those self-proclaimed experts are talking about.
