Alice Waters pretty much sums up my approach to food and cooking:

“Eat locally and sustainably.

Eat seasonally.

Shop at farmers’ markets. (and I’d add: Join a CSA.)

Plant a garden.

Conserve, compost, and recycle.

Cook simply.

Cook together.

Eat together.

Remember food is precious.”

- from The Art of Simple Food

With the baskets at the farmers’ market now brimming with beans, this is the perfect way to experience what Waters calls a “delicious revolution”. Ok, so maybe tossing green beans with butter, salt, lemon juice, and toasted almonds isn’t quite revolutionary, but it certainly is delicious!
