Yesterday, my copy of Animal, Vegetable, Miracle by Barbara Kingsolver finally arrived in the mail! If you are interested in food, family, health and eating locally, this is a must read. It will change the way you look at picking produce, making meals and living your life, but in a (somewhat) realistic way.
The book is about the year that the Kingsolver family spent eating only what they could grow themselves or buy locally. While they do live on a small farm, they make recommendations for us city dwellers as well. The book also talks about the social, cultural and even political (not in a partisan way) facts that brought them to their experiment. As well as the effects on their two children and their exceptions to the rules (coffee and spices anyone?). The book also contains some great recipes, which are also available on their website www.animalvegetablemiracle.com. If you live close, I’ll loan you my copy (as soon as a get Sweet Hubby to read it) and they are readily available at the local library.
