For me cooking is a means to an end. I cook for my own health and happiness, and for whomever I happen to be sharing my time with at the moment.
I've never been big on New Year's resolutions. But instead of resolving to do more this year, I'm aiming to do less. To slow down.
You don't need to pay people to tell you what to do (except for us, of course). Living a good life is all about finding balance in what you eat and how you behave. Put your energy in a better place.

Through a series of public policies and private sector decisions, millions of low-income families in America have been condemned to subsist in vast urban "food deserts" that pose serious health threats.
I set out to collect and formulate some straightforward, memorable, everyday rules for eating, a set of personal policies that would, taken together or even separately, nudge people onto a healthier and happier path.
In the beginning, the Bible says, God created the heaven and the earth. And it was good. Really good. Earth's natural bounty blew us away -- lavish...
