NeverLNG, I agree with you. This is one of the reasons I argue that cooking the food may be more important than growing it - that is, we manifestly have a nation in which people go hungry because they can't cook cheap basic staples. Shifting diets radically and rapidly is going to be a huge social project - and it has to be undertaken, because hunger is already here and rising *FAST*.

Think about what icelanders will have to do if they are to eat the food they can produce locally, and perhaps what basics they can import. Cooking is one of those small things I mentioned in comments yesterday - and it is huge. The hand that stirs the pot, shapes the world.

"This is one of the reasons I argue that cooking the food may be more important than growing it..."

Great point and this is where I am now putting my focus as it also addresses processing and preserving, a HUGE issue.

I am putting together a cook book of sorts called "The adventures of SOUPERMAN - or How to cook anything."

I encourage making intense soups, stews, sauces then put them up.

I can't tell you how many people have told me they never liked eggplant until they had my Ratatouille.

Hey Souperman,
Maybe you could put up a few web pages to sample? I love soup, but have to confess that it doesn't usually turn out when I start from scratch.
