Check out Grid's food issue
 |
Grid, that homegrown magazine with a sustainability/do-it-own-your-damn-self bent, came out with its new issue at the beginning of the week. As usual, it's got a theme, and this one's food.
It's a good read: Will Dean has a very easy-to-understand article on how to make your own compost (throwing in fruit peels is good! tossing in milk is baaaad!), Dana Henry wrote a piece on a 17-year-old girl from West Philly who is naysaying her peers' poor eating habits and growing healthy crops, and finally, finally, Sarah Grey acknowledges that even though we're reading Grid doesn't mean we're rich enough to shop at Whole Foods, and details how to eat well on food stamps, cooking clubs and CSAs instead.
But not all the writing waxes philosophical about food. I liked the section with recipes the best, namely because they came from Philly chefs like Tria's Nick Mezzina and Pumpkin's Ian Moroney. The latter's beet and lentil vinaigrette, with wine, shallot, sherry vinegar, olive oil, one beet and cooked lentils, is a simple and tasty topper. Check out the online version of the mag for more recipes here.
