Feature: Food For Thought

Dining well — be it at home or elsewhere — requires rumination: Are we watching our pennies? What's in season? Are there health concerns to consider? How to evoke heartfelt memories and create new ones? A lot must be pondered before making and sharing meals that will delight, nourish, and heal. Hence Food for Thought, a weekly sojourn through the culinary world. Through the prism of a kynd-living, whole-food-embracing veteran cook, FFT presents odes to delectable eats; recipes; food-trend dish; tips on health, nutrition, and time management; and flat-out joy about one of the finest things in life.
