Sorry for the last minute message, but I just found out that Ivy Manning will be at the OSU Bookstore on Saturday, signing copies of her new cookbook, The Farm to Table Cookbook: The Art of Eating Locally. Date: Saturday, May 3 Time: 11am to 2pm Place: OSU Bookstore, 2301 SW Jefferson in the Memorial Union building Full disclosure: It’s Mom’s weekend at OSU, so it’s going to be crowded and busy. But if you don’t mind that and would like to meet the author and purchase the book, here you go!
Simply in Season by Mary Beth Lind and Cathleen Hockman-Wert Through stories and simple “whole foods” recipes, Mary Beth Lind and Cathleen Hockman-Wert explore how the food we put on our tables impacts our local and global neighbors. They show the importance of eating local, seasonal food—and fairly traded food—and invite readers to make choices that offer security and health for our communities, for the land, for body and spirit. While the authors come at this topic from the perspective of their own faith, the reviews have me feeling that there is something here for everyone, whether one shares that faith or not. Plus, one of the authors — Cathleen Hockman-Wert — is an Oregonian. That’s why I started the list with this book… we dig the locals!
