Depression Cooking as a Functional Food Art
This evening Shepherdess Celeste will be discussing the craft of Depression Cooking and Functional Food Art.
The news is not calling our economic condition a Depression but many of us are being challenged to learn the craft of Depression Cooking or Functional Food Artistry.
You have noticed that container sizes are getting smaller and the contents inside the container are shrinking while prices are skyrocketing. How can you extend your meals? With substitutes & equivalents can do for you! Resources for economic meals and more.
What skills does economic Depression Cooking require? Adventure, courage, ability to follow directions (at least once), basic ingredients, hand tools preferred, and pure food which is the foundation for creative, delicious and nutritious meals.
Just because you are cooking basic does not mean it has to be bland. Your five senses:
Smell
Taste
Touch
Hearing
Vision
Let these senses be your guide to Functional Food art that is both easy & economical to prepare. They will assist you to overcome barriers to creative cooking.
What is your passion in life? Can you express it through the foods you prepare? Support causes and issues that you are concerned about through your creative cooking. We need to get pass the mundane in our kitchens and elevate food to a new level promoting health, thankfulness, justice, supporting local farmers and gardeners, voting with your dollar, and seizing the most nutrition and flavor with each meal that we prepare.
Find some cook books such as:
