Local Foods with Molly Watson

Yes, here's a first for The Everyday Scholar. This week we're going to talk about food and resources for lifelong learners. I guess the idea started with Thanksgiving and trying to decide whether to go traditional or expand our horizons and try some new recipes. While doing the required research, I discovered some great places to learn about what's going on with food these days.

Lifelong learners have to eat and since we are learners after all, let's take a few posts and investigate resources for learning about food and cooking.

Let's start with "Local Foods" and to me that means starting with Molly Watson. She is the About.com Guide to Local Foods and she does a great job of explaining what going "local" is all about. From how and why to eat local, to what's in season when, then on to recipes and everything in between, Molly can teach lifelong learners some new tricks when it comes to food.

See what you think about Local Foods. The next post will introduce you to the 101 Cookbooks Blog.
