children course ecology school teaches
We need to have a course in school that teaches about ecology and gastronomy. I could imagine that all children could eat at school for free and that the cafeteria would become part of the school's curriculum.
good kids schools
It's so important to that we go into the public schools and we feed all of the kids something that is really good for them.
children patriotic school
I want every child in America to eat a nutritious, delicious, sustainably sourced school lunch for free.
children school garden
Change the food in the schools and we can influence how children think. Change the curriculum and teach them how to garden and how to cook and we can show that growing food and cooking and eating together give lasting richness, meaning, and beauty to our lives.
children believe school
I believe there should be breakfast, lunch and afternoon snack, all for free and for every child that goes to school. And all food that is good, clean and fair. It's unfair to charge for food in schools, especially to charge for food that is making children sick.
children real school
I really am at a place where I think we need to feed every child at school for free and feed them a real school lunch that's sustainable and nutritious and delicious. It needs to be part of the curriculum of the school in the same way that physical education was part of the curriculum, and all children participated.
real school lunch
I am confident that we will see a growing consensus about the most effective way to transform food in America: building a real, sustainable and free school-lunch program.
great hands lewis rest soul
Edna Lewis had the hands and soul of a great artist, and like all great artists, she had something of which the rest of us know little or nothing.
change might people revealed themselves ultimately
Every change ultimately is one for the better. You don't know how it is going to be. It is just shuffling the cards, and people who haven't revealed themselves might reveal themselves.
attending changes details happens keeping learning organic somebody standard
I think she's really up there at the top. It happens only when somebody is very non-compromising and when somebody is attending to all the details and learning about all the changes in food. The way she has incorporated organic ingredients into her standard repertoire, she is somebody who is keeping up on what's important and getting better at doing it.
engaged intimacy listen quiet
She just had a very quiet way of speaking, and it really engaged you because she was so soft-spoken; you had to listen carefully. There was a kind of intimacy that you immediately had.
continue elizabeth
I'm always going back to Elizabeth David. I continue to be a fan. I can read and reread and find something important in there.
boil bring depends eight maybe size wonderful
Hard-boiled eggs are wonderful when they're really done right. I bring the water to a boil, and then I put in the eggs. And then I boil them for - well, it depends on the size of the egg - maybe eight minutes.
certain deny hard tastes tender
Everything tastes better with butter. Meat that has fat in it is tender in a certain way, flavorful in a certain way. It's hard to deny the flavor quotient there.
