The farm-to-table movement basically refers to food
that is ultra-fresh. Produce is harvested at the perfect
moment—as opposed to picked early and then left to
ripen in a box while it gets shipped from who knows
where—and other products are sourced just as fresh as
can be. This concept is near and dear to my heart. I have
a special appreciation for local fresh produce because my
dad had a wholesale produce business for 50 years. When
I was growing up, we always had the freshest produce in
season. We were doing farm-to-table long before it was
chic. But I'm glad it's popular now, because what better
way to get excited about creating and sharing wonderful
meals than going straight to the source. When you start
with fresh and delicious ingredients, the rest is a breeze.
