Cincinnati Locavore: Because scratch-cooked food is just better, that's why.
http://cincinnatilocavore.blogspot.com/2008/03/because-scratch-cooked-food-is-just.html
Celebrating the Ohio Valley Foodshed. Sunday, March 30, 2008. Because scratch-cooked food is just better, that's why. I've been thinking a lot about cooking from scratch since I posted here. Not for food quality or taste. Why are so few people talking about cooking from scratch because scratch-cooked food is just. It's better because you know all the ingredients. No butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT). For freshness or calcium proprionate. You know what proportions the ingredients were in. You tweaked the...

Cincinnati Locavore: Okara and Veggies/Meatless Main Dish Recipe
http://cincinnatilocavore.blogspot.com/2015/03/okara-and-veggies.html
Celebrating the Ohio Valley Foodshed. Wednesday, March 25, 2015. Okara and Veggies/Meatless Main Dish Recipe. Anyone who makes their own* soy milk or tofu knows about the okara problem: what to do with the 'soy lees' or okara - the leftovers after all the soy milk has been squeezed out of the ground beans. We know this stuff is full of protein and fiber, so isn't there a way to keep it out of the compost pile? 1 oz dried shiitake mushrooms. 1 T olive oil. 1# golden beets, peeled and cut into matchsticks.

Cincinnati Locavore: Cheap Food is not an American Tradition
http://cincinnatilocavore.blogspot.com/2007/12/cheap-food-bad-food.html
Celebrating the Ohio Valley Foodshed. Friday, December 28, 2007. Cheap Food is not an American Tradition. When I hear people complaining about how expensive food is - and especially about how eating locally is too expensive for the average American. Helpfully point out that we spend a smaller percentage of our disposable income than any previous generation. From a USDA chart. It may seem that the % of income we spend on food is less however please note that prices for other daily expenses have increased.

Celebrating the Ohio Valley Foodshed. Monday, February 3, 2014. Six Secrets to Smooth, Creamy, Silky Hummus. Hummus is a funny old thing. There are only six ingredients. For most recipes the preparation couldn't be simpler: throw everything into a food processor and puree. So why isn't your homemade hummus ever as good as the stuff you can buy at the grocery? The texture is just never quite what you were hoping for. 1 Start with dry beans. 2 Add a little baking soda to the soaking water. 6 Emulsify the l...

Cincinnati Locavore: Recognizing rural America: soybeans
http://cincinnatilocavore.blogspot.com/2008/04/recognizing-rural-america-soybeans.html
Celebrating the Ohio Valley Foodshed. Tuesday, April 29, 2008. Recognizing rural America: soybeans. Around here, pretty much everyone recognizes corn. What many of us don't realize is that the corn we see in the fields isn't usually sweet corn but field corn. They look almost identical, so it's not suprising Americans don't realize those are acres and acres and acres of animal feed and industrial inputs, not people food. This is a young soybean plant ( glycene max. By later in the summer, the plants have...

http://cincinnatilocavore.blogspot.com/2009/03/farmers-markets-vs-arts-crafts-markets.html
Celebrating the Ohio Valley Foodshed. Tuesday, March 31, 2009. Farmers' Markets vs. Arts and Crafts Markets. There's been a lively discussion lately on the Cincinnati Local Foods Group. I believe filling the extra booth spaces with crafters actually hurts the chances of developing the market into a thriving entity, long term. Here's why. Yes, a full market is more inviting to potential customers. They drive past and see a full market and think, "Wow! Where'd that come from all of a sudden? I should check...
