Local and seasonal cooking advice

So you want to eat locally and seasonally, but you’re having a hard time finding recipes and cookbooks that actually pair those ingredients together? Grist has a couple of articles with tips for you: an Umbra Fisk column collating some popular cookbook suggestions and an April McGreger piece on meal-planning at the farmers' market and pantry-stocking. Some of Fisk’s faves? Alice Waters’ The Art of Simple Food and Deborah Madison’s Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone.

Labelwatch gives you the skinny on product labels
November 20, 2008
Want to save time spent reading labels in the grocery store? Check out Labelwatch, a website that compares label info on some 25,000 common food products. Granted, you may not feel like comparing, say, Chips Ahoy to Nilla Wafers, but you might want to see how all the various yogurts put out by the Nancy's Yogurt brand compare to each other. Labelwatch also lets you generate your own digital shopping lists.

Estabrook points readers toward a Union of Concerned Scientists petition demanding indoor-only cultivation of plants grown to produce chemicals and drugs.
