Project Update!

I plan on doing a cookbook for my project. I am a major food enthusiast and love cooking, so I'm really excited about this. My goal for it is to contain recipes that are sustainable, affordable, simple, and delicious. I'll also include info about where to buy groceries, what to buy, and when to buy them. Right now my project is in the research phase. I've been gathering information on how to cook and eat sustainably, and I went to the Farmer's Market on Broxton to check out what kinds of things they sell that I can work with. It was a pretty disappointing selection, and that fact along with Whole Foods and Trader Joes really being the only other sources of organic ingredients, this cookbook could be a challenge. But I will be resourceful and hopefully come up with something great : )
Also, I have chosen to go vegetarian for the quarter, mostly as a personal challenge, but I will probably include some of my experience in my cookbook, and it will definitely influence the recipes I include.

  1. This sounds so cool! I definitely want a copy of the recipes that you come up with--looking forward to that. What is the Broxton farmer's market like? I have been meaning to go all quarter, but haven't gotten around to it.
    Props for going vegetarian as well :)

  2. The farmer's market is every Wednesday from 3-8. It starts kind of by the Landmark Theatre. It's a really small basic farmer's market. There were a handful of produce booths, a couple jewelry booths, and some random things like juices and cake. I'm sure it varies from week to week, but this is the only time I've gone and it was fairly unexciting.
