Hello and happy Saturday to all!  Does anyone have some useful, no frills, accurate and responsible data and information about food in general and especially for seasonal foods/when to eat what, etc.?  Thanks so much and take it easy, Mary

To find seasonal foods in your region, visit www.sustainabletable.org.  They have a tool that allows you to type in your zipcode or city/state and then provides you with a listing of seasonal foods (by month) found in your area.  Check it out.

A neat book: The Farm to Table Cookbook, by Ivy Manning.  This books features recipes categorized by season using ingredients that are particularly fresh/local in that particular time of year.  The book is worth the price for the pictures alone!

Hope this helps.

I have a link on my site to a PDF of Bay Area seasonal food charts provided by CUESA!

I stumbled upon this website:

www.localfoodswheel.com

It seems like a cool concept for people living in San Francisco and New York Metro area. 
“When I practice, I am a philosopher,
When I teach, I am a scientist,
When I demonstrate, I am an artist.”
