Top Chefs Dish on Cooking with Foraged Foods {PHOTOS, Edible Monterey Bay}

Edible Monterey Bay's Debby Luhrman wrote this piece about the foraged foods cooking class at the Big Sur Foragers' Festival: Top Chefs Dish on Cooking with Foraged Foods. It hit the EMB blog today.

Two of my photos accompany the piece...

edibleFEAST's Curated Thanksgiving Photo Challenge

After posting a photo challenge, edibleFEAST posted their pick of 11 favorite entries. Two of mine were selected. Woohoo.

Thank you to everyone in the #edibleFEAST community for sharing your Thanksgiving photos and tagging local farmers & producers!

Besides getting a delicious virtual tour of your dinner tables, the #ediblefeast photo challenge was part of an ongoing support effort of the #buylocal moment. It also gave our community an opportunity to get to know local artisans, farmers, bakers & shops in your area!

From delicious turkey meat from BN RANCH (Bolinas, CA) to a family feast at Cold Moon Farm (Jamaica, VT)…please enjoy the selected photos and enjoy your leftovers!

Thanks again to all who participated :)

Here's what they picked from my pictures, submitted via twitter...

Under the Big Top Photos

When I submitted my article - Under the Big Top at the Grand Public Tasting - for Edible Monterey Bay, I had included some photos that didn't make the final cut on the blogpost. But I wanted to share them because I love them!
