Weary of convenience foods, tired of rushing through unsatisfying meal times, and craving something more nourishing to both body and spirit, people at dining tables across the country are rebelling one plate at a time. They’re willing to invest in good food, and are looking for their investment to pay off somewhere around the intersection of “sustainable” and “delicious.” Folks are getting serious about what they eat, how it’s prepared, and from whence it came. Many people celebrate foodie culture from couches, if not in actual kitchens, as they tune in to watch rock stars of the culinary world showcase their skills through every form of media. From cooking shows to sleek glossy cookbooks to hugely popular food blogs, never before has information about how to cook been more accessible, more visible, and more widely published. Little wonder that home cooks are covering their iPads with flour while swiping through recipes next to the stove. The public can’t get enough.
