One of the things that drives me crazy about PCC, which is a natural health food chain in Seattle, is that they promote organic eating and sustainability–yet have no problem shipping in fresh tomatoes from Ecuador in the middle of winter. And it doesn’t take a genius to figure out that transporting food over such long distances hardly qualifies as sustainable. In Coming Home to Eat, Nabhan decides that he will try to eat food that comes from within 50 or so miles of his house — for an entire year. And this book is the result. Recommend.

I’ve been following a chain of book site recommendations and I’m glad to have come across yours. If you like Wrede, you’ll probably like Diana Wynne Jones even more.
glad you’re here! Thanks for the recommendation, too.
