		<title>The End of Food Tourism</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If you are looking for seafood in Barcelona, the guidebooks will tell you that a good place to go is Barceloneta. The neighbourhood borders the city’s beaches and was once home to the fishermen who set sail from there every day to earn their living from the Mediterranean. Today’s tapas bars and seafood restaurants are some of what [...]]]></description>

		<title>Is 2010 the summer of urban ag?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Wherever I go this summer, everyone is talking about urban agriculture. Last week, I gave a talk at the Toronto Botanical Gardens (What an evening! Cool night, nice crowd, great food, amazing gardens) and toured their container and kitchen gardens with head of horticulture, Paul Zammit. He harvested fingerling potatoes from a recycling bin, hoping [...]]]></description>

		<title>Making local mainstream is the next step</title>
		<description><![CDATA[What a week of Locavore events!
What I enjoy most at the events are the question and answer sessions and these highlighted for me the big issues for local food in Canada today. At Toronto&#8217;s Culinarium, where we had a book club-style meeting with fabulous food to eat, the big question was how to take local [...]]]></description>

		<title>Even in tropical countries people eat with the seasons</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Just when I thought my interview with Hai Tran, owner of the Toronto restaurant Hanoi 3 Seasons, was coming to a close, I asked about spring foods. Of course, in Vietnam, a tropical country, there are seasons too!
When I think spring eating, I think fiddleheads, asparagus, the fresh chives that pop up out of the [...]]]></description>

		<title>City Farmers and Locavores</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday&#8217;s Jane&#8217;s Walk was incredible! Author Lorraine Johnson and I met up with 136 people who are interested in urban agriculture for a walking tour of the area around Trinity Bellwoods Park. We tasted Red Bud flowers and talked about the role of greenhouses in a local and sustainable urban foodshed. We discussed urban agriculture [...]]]></description>

		<title>Quebec cheese discovery</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been eating farmhouse and artisan cheese from Quebec for years, and yet I had a profound discovery at the Fromagerie Atwater counter last week in Montreal.  I was at the market to tape an interview, with the CBC Radio program C&#8217;est la vie, about the chapter in my book that tells the history and [...]]]></description>

		<title>My taxi driver misses farming</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I woke up early this morning in Ottawa to head to the Queen Street CBC studio for an interview with Kathleen Petty on Ottawa Morning. I asked the cab driver how business was and he replied it was horrible. Driving a taxi, he said, is a terrible job. &#8220;My father, my grandfather, my great-grandfather, they [...]]]></description>

		<title>Slow Food Fair in Picton a fabulous stop on the book tour!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Sunday was a gorgeous day in Prince Edward County, Ontario. The sun was shining on the spring-green fields, the sky was blue and the waves of a windy Lake Ontario were crashing on the beaches that run along the county&#8217;s coast. And so I was especially thrilled to see a good turnout at the Slow [...]]]></description>

		<title>Open pollinated corn polenta vs. store-bought corn meal</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The difference was astounding. Truly astounding. I put a spoonful of the polenta I made from open-pollinated, stone-ground corn meal I&#8217;d bought from Mark Trealout at Kwartha Ecological Growers and I swear I heard birds singing, felt the wind in my hair and the hot sun on my face as I was transported to the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Congee for breakfast</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m embarrassed to admit it but I&#8217;d never eaten congee until this morning when I ventured to a very cool Hong Kong style restaurant in Toronto&#8217;s Chinatown for a first taste. I&#8217;ll be talking more about this great resto for my CBC Radio column this coming Wednesday, April 7th, but in the meantime, I&#8217;ll report [...]]]></description>
