April 29, 2015 ~ Anni Golding ~ 2 Comments

Did you happen to catch the film "Just Eat It" on MSNBC last week? The 74-minute documentary, produced and directed by Canadian filmmaking couple Grant Baldwin and Jenny Rustemeyer, examines the topic of food waste from field to table in North America.

Recipe: Fresh Ricotta and Preserved Lemon Spread

April 24, 2015 ~ Anni Golding ~ Leave a comment

Are you a kitchen experimenter or adventurous eater? I don't mean in the Andrew Zimmern "Bizarre Foods" kind of way (although if stinky tofu or rat hearts are your thing, rock on; I'll hold off, thanks). No, I'm talking about a willingness to try food combinations or flavors that are just a touch out of … Continue reading Recipe: Fresh Ricotta and Preserved Lemon Spread

Waste-Less Wednesday: The Other Broccoli

Beautiful, fresh broccoli
April 22, 2015 ~ Anni Golding ~ Leave a comment

Broccoli is a staple in my house. Exciting? No. Reliable? Yes. When I'm too tired or uninspired to cook (yes, it happens sometimes), steamed broccoli is my standby.

Eat Local: Redwood City Restaurant Week

April 17, 2015 ~ Anni Golding ~ Leave a comment

I love a good food story, particularly when it comes to the hows and whys of food producers doing what they do. Whether we're talking about small-business foodcrafters, farmers, chefs, or restauranteurs, the "why" often comes down to two things: a love of food and a desire to share what you make or grow with … Continue reading Eat Local: Redwood City Restaurant Week

I Got Sunshine: DIY Organic Limoncello

April 11, 2015 ~ Anni Golding ~ 1 Comment

Ah, limoncello! That little glass of sunshine on a cloudy day (or a sunny day, or... any day). Limoncello is lemony-sweet boozy goodness that you can enjoy as an apertif, a digestif, or anywhere in between. If you've got some patience, lemons, clear alcohol of at least 80 proof (vodka, for example), and simple syrup, … Continue reading I Got Sunshine: DIY Organic Limoncello

Waste-Less Wednesday posts are all about ways to reduce or eliminate food waste, particularly at home.
