author cook elizabeth english food owner richard
English food writer Elizabeth David, cook and author Richard Olney and the owner of Domaine Tempier Lulu Peyraud have all really inspired the way I think about food.
continue directly food house organic push relates
Basically, the person in the White House should be principled, should have a philosophy about food that relates directly to organic agriculture. I will continue to push for that.
came cheap fast food lack paid preparing uniformity values
A whole set of values comes with fast food: Everything should be fast, cheap and easy; there's always more where that came from; there are no seasons; you shouldn't be paid very much for preparing food. It's uniformity and a lack of connection.
besides buy country farmers food meals pay people price
We all need to know how to cook. I can buy a chicken and have many meals come from it. Is it affordable? Yes. Cheap? No. I want to pay the farmers the right price for food. They deserve it. They are the most important people in the country besides our teachers.
food people relationship works
I don't think it ever works to tell people what they can't eat. They can do it for so long, and then they fall off. You have to bring them into a new relationship with food.
diets food nobody seeing
I am disappointed because nobody is talking about food and agriculture. They're talking about the diets of children, but they're talking about Band-Aids. We're not seeing a vision.
feeding food good people
Usually, cheap food is not nutritious. You're feeding people, but you're not really feeding people something that is good for them.
countries food money people spend
In countries around the world, people spend more money on food because they know how precious it is.
endless food ways work
I'm always changing my work, as there are endless ways to think about food.
equipment food touching
A lot of equipment can get in the way of the connection with food, with touching and feeling.
begin food involved kids production
First, kids should be involved in the production of their own food. They have to get their hands in the dirt, they have to grow things. They also have to become sensually stimulated, and the way to begin is with a bakery.
food
I'm unwilling to eat food that has been adulterated.
buy careful conditions farmers fast food industry local promote trust
You do need some dispensation for local farmers, because the fast food industry will promote the unsanitary conditions of farming. With vegetables, you have to be careful where they come from; you have to know the farmers and trust them. If you buy from the farmers' market, it's already been investigated.
buying everywhere existed fell food french fresh love markets obsession paris twice
When I first went to Paris in 1965, I fell in love with the small, family-owned restaurants that existed everywhere then, as well as the markets and the French obsession with buying fresh food, often twice a day.
