Dar Williams goes local (and into her kitchen!)
Dar Williams is one of the most important musicians of our time – her lyrical insight and soothing melodies sustain hard-working and hard-loving people all around the world. Read about Dar’s recent journey into her own kitchen – from the theory of local food to the practice of growing and preparing delicious food.
“I mentioned to my husband that I’d gotten ¾ of a pound of ground beef, and he said I should find a recipe from Marcella Hazan’s Fundamentals of Italian Cooking. I snorted and looked around for the other wife he was talking to….
My taste buds have always been blunt instruments at best, which always worked for me. My travels require that I adapt to everything. I am very good at talking about local food, praising other people on their sustainable lifestyles, and then getting on a plane, Starbucks mocha in hand as “brunch”.”
Thanks to Heidi for this fabulous find!
Have you read barbara kingsolver’s ‘animal, vegtable, mineral’?
The post about dar’s garden reminded me of that book.
