Recapturing our slow food tradition 1.13.10
Eco Chef Bryant Terry
From Cuisine Noir article about eco-Chef Bryant Terry, “Delicious Food and Justice for All”
“This movement around eating healthy is a part of our heritage… this whole notion that we are disconnected from slow food, no, this is our tradition. It’s about re-embracing something that is near. Growing food, fresh food, people had a different relationship with food. If things got off track in two generations, if we work our butts off, we can get back on track easily.”
