Food tips

Buy Local Food : Strawberries, blueberries and many other kinds of fruit often are available from farms that allow you to do the harvesting (or not, if you prefer to pay for the cost of picking). Many fruits are easy to freeze, and apples will keep all winter in a cool corner of the garage.

Have a Local Food Party : Instead of counting time or distance, simply enjoy the pleasures of local food by organizing a potluck meal in which everything must be local. Keep your fingers crossed that someone will splurge on handmade goat cheese, and don’t forget some local wine, beer or juice. If you’re organizing a big catered event, the Society for Nutrition Education has a downloadable brochure to help you line up local food resources.

Ingredients And Procedures

1 tb Vegetable oil

3 lb Beef chuck, cut into 1 1/2

-inch cubes 1 tb Minced fresh ginger

2 Scallions, minced

1/2 c Dry sherry

3 tb Dark soy sauce

1 Whole star anise

1 tb Sugar

1. In a saucepan, heat oil over high heat until just smoking and

brown beef cubes. Add minced ginger and scallions and stir fry until aromatic, about 30 seconds. 2. Add sherry, soy sauce, star anise, sugar, and 1 cup of water.

Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, and simmer until meat is tender when pricked with a fork, 45 minutes to 1 hour. There should be about one-third of cooking juices left. If there is more, remove meat and boil liquid over high heat to reduce. Serve meat in juices. This dish improves if prepared ahead of time and reheated. It also freezes beautifully.
