Before getting to today's recipes, I need to say this: My/our positions on the hot issues of our time are not exactly hidden, although we mostly talk about food. But for the last fifteen years, I have maintained that hiding behind the fun and excitement of “food” and cooking is cowardly: How food is produced, how it’s processed, what we eat, is about how we treat the land, each other, and ourselves. It matters, and so food policy matters.
