The founder of the movement, an Italian chef, gave a series of somewhat controversial talks here last year; he accused the very people that create the food for the movement , the local organic small growers, of gouging people with high prices at the weekly farmer’s markets, thereby driving away all but the well-to-do, a criticism which has some validity. Boy, the farmers, some of whom are nationally renown for the quality of their crops, were incensed. It was sort of like the merlot drinkers being mad at the cab drinkers.die Frauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14269442912640747892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30402684.post-90808214172005096622008-05-20T07:43:00.000-04:002008-05-20T07:43:00.000-04:00Yes, and steaming things works pretty well.

We went to a Slow Food dinner at a winery last year and it was really great. <BR/><BR/>As for the other questions - we've figured out how to do healthy and slightly organic part, but it's the "fast and simple" part that usually trips us up.
