a year of food life
September 22, 2011
speaking of my odd liken to corn lately, have you all read animal, vegetable, miracle by barbara kindsolver? i couldn’t help but think of it yesterday as i wrote about my seasonal cravings. this book has been one of my favorites for a long time, and it is one of the reasons why i fell in love with eating locally and seasonally.
it is the (true) story of a year in which the kingsolver family deliberately fed themselves on food grown within their community, and what they learned from the experience. it’s inspiring, entertaining and encouraging- and it is even jam packed full of seasonal recipes and weekly dinner planning ideas! if you haven’t read it, i (obviously) recommend it. if you’re not much of a reader, maybe you would enjoy visiting their website where you can still find recipes, resources and tips on finding local food.

welcome lovelies! my name is bonnie and this is where i roost. i hope you'll grab a cup of tea and make yourself comfy- we look forward to getting to know you! you can learn more about me and why i love to blog 
I loved reading this! It did a wonderful job of pointing out how global our food has become. And how wonderful it is to eat what comes from your local farmers. Very good read.
went straight onto amazon and ordered this book – thanks :) – sounds like a great read!
yeah for you laura! you’ll love it. :)
I admit I’m not much of a reader, but this booked grabbed me from the get go and never let go. I read it a few years ago and the message stuck with me. It’s not an exaggeration to say that it was life changing. I also {obviously} recommend it. Great book!
