Here we are on the cusp of our adventure into a completely sustainable diet. According to the Oxford Dictionary sustainable is; “conserving an ecological balance by avoiding depletion of natural resources”. This is exactly what we wish to reflect here on our Cuisine ‘n’ Green page. We are sure you are already thinking “What does this mean to me?” Simply put, eating local food not only gives you more nutrition and tastes so much better it also reduces our carbon footprint on this planet.
We know through our personal experience that finding local sustainable food, ideally organic, is not an easy task. Therefore we have made connections and where possible partnerships with local farmers who practice humane procedures which include minimal if any antibiotics, roaming grass fed livestock and no animal bi-products in their feed. We have also engaged many local fruit and vegetable suppliers mostly organic which not only gives us produce that has been ripened or matured naturally, but also encourages us to eat seasonally which complements our diet. The changing seasons and the corresponding nature’s bounty is no accident. We are offered by nature the correct types of food that are needed for our environmental climate change to ensure our continued health.
As a family you can expect a weekly update of our progress, taking turns with reporting which we hope will give you a wider perspective. We will also be posting monthly recipes onto our Cuisine in Motion page to give you great ideas to utilize local produce and we will share our sources for ingredients. In closing, welcome to our family, you will know us as well as we know ourselves, very soon.
Salute!
