I have a love affair with tomatoes and corn. I remember them from my childhood. I only had them in the summer. They were extraordinary.

The things most worth wanting are not available everywhere all the time.

Teaching kids how to feed themselves and how to live in a community responsibly is the center of an education.

How we eat can change the world

If Ive gone to the market on Saturday, and I go another time on Tuesday, then Im really prepared. I can cook a little piece of fish; I can wilt some greens with garlic; I can slice tomatoes and put a little olive oil on. Its effortless.

It's a comfort to always find pasta in the cupboard and garlic and parsley in the garden.

I feel it is an obligation to help people understand the relation of food to agriculture and the relationship of food to culture.
