| Introduction | Several years ago I moved back to Philadelphia for a job with an architecture firm focusing on green architecture. Given my passion for cooking and eating fresh, local food, so readily available in Berkeley, I was anxious that I would not have the same access here. To my pleasant surprise, I need not have worried. While the emphasis on local foods isn’t as pervasive here as the bay area, there is a definite burgeoning focus. Recent national media attention has raised awareness while the existence of small farms has always been integral to this region. I may not have a natural grocery within walking distance of my home, but I am happily discovering my alternatives from local buying clubs to edible gardens. I am also enjoying eating seasonally differently. Never have I ingested so many tubers! My hope for this blog sharing my food related experiences is that you are encouraged to try new food, especially at home with others. To my foodie friends in CA, there is great, fresh local food to be found everywhere. To my local friends, I hope we share and inspire each other’s food habits.
