Just by choosing where your food comes from, you shape the environmental and social footprint of every meal you eat or serve.
You start with understanding that "farm to table" means more than proximity: it means sourcing with attention to seasonality, soil health, animal welfare, and fair pay for producers. When you prioritize farms that use regenerative practices, cover cropping, reduced tillage, and biodiversity-friendly methods, your purchases support systems that sequester carbon and preserve habitats.
You can look for transparency and traceability in the supply chain: labels, farm profiles, and direct communication with growers tell you how crops were grown and animals were raised. If you operate a kitchen, building direct...

Nowadays you can buy a cheap pair of sunglasses just about anywhere – from supermarkets and petrol stations to corner shops and online fashion retailers, but such ubiquity may prompt doubts as to the protection they can offer.

Most cooks underestimate how a pinch can elevate a meal, and you can learn to use herbs and spices to turn ordinary dishes into memorable ones by mastering a few simple principles.
Understand the difference: herbs are leafy parts of plants (basil, parsley, cilantro) and spices are seeds, bark, roots, or pods (cumin, cinnamon, turmeric). You should store dried spices in a cool, dark place in airtight containers and keep fresh herbs refrigerated or wrapped in a damp paper towel. Label jars with purchase dates so you use older spices first; whole spices last longer than ground ones.
Use fresh versus...
