Get your local food recipe published
Made a local dish for Thanksgiving? Now's the chance to share, aka show off, your locavore-friendly recipe. A local group in Westchester called Environmental Change-Makers is putting together a local foods cookbook, and you're invited to contribute!
To participate, all you have to do is:
- Create a dish from local foods -- with all or almost all ingredients grown or produced within about 100 miles of L.A.
- Taste-test the recipe.
- Write up the recipe, including fun details like where you found unusual ingredients, why you included certain non-local ingredients, or what season your recipe will work best in.
- Send your recipe to Environmental Change-Makers. Be sure to include your name and your neighborhood or city to get credited for your contribution.
Environmental Change-Makers will then put the best recipes into a cookbook, which will be available free as a PDF online or in hard copy at Environmental Change-Makers meetings. The recipes will be shared under the Creative Commons Attribution Share Alike license.
Can't wait for that cookbook to come out? Then check out "The Santa Monica Farmers' Market Cookbook" by Amelia Saltsman. Here's a sample recipe: Classic Tomato Soup with a Goat Cheese Swirl.
