Cooking advice

Our survival no longer depends on our knowledge of nature's cycles, but there is much to be gained from getting back this lost wisdom. Regardless of technology's advances, the fact remains that food in season is the best. Apples taste better when they haven't been flown half way around the world. And buying in season encourages local producers who, boosted by factors like the rise in farmers' markets, are building a more sustainable food industry.

Buying an Oven : If you need to purchase a gas oven or range, look for one with an automatic, electric ignition system. An electric ignition saves gas-because a pilot light is not burning continuously.

Buy Local Food : Bringing more local produce into your kitchen may leave you wondering what to do with unusual things such as Jerusalem artichokes, kohlrabi or mizuna. “I get requests all the time from CSAs asking permission to put my recipes into their delivery boxes,” Madison says. “I always say yes.” Get a good produce-based cookbook and don’t be reluctant to ask for recipe ideas from growers.

Ingredients And Procedures

1/2 c Whole wheat flour

2/3 c Unbleached all purpose flour

1/2 c Water approximately

1/4 ts Salt (optional)

Make up the dough approximately 1/2-hour before you need it. Allow the dough to rest about 10 minutes. Pinch off portion of dough to form a ball about 1 1/2 inches in diameter. Roll ball flat on lightly floured surface. Pat back and forth between hands until thin. (Patting makes the chapati puff when baked.) Cook on top of the stove on ungreased griddle until browned and puffed. Use medium heat so the griddle does not get too hot.
