It was rainy in the Bay Area yesterday so I made the ultimate comfort dinner - tomato bisque and grilled cheese with aged white cheddar, Gruyère and Honeycrisp apple slices.
Though my family felt safe and cozy, we could not help but think of those experiencing food insecurity right now, both internally and domestically.
While trying to feed people, try to bring in facts like available farm land and water supply. Is farmland increasing or decreasing? Why?
Also consider birth rates, death rates, and population density. Higher population density is often connected to problems such as tuberculosis and bed bugs. Many diseases, such as tuberculosis, are today becoming more treatment resistant.
A friend's father had 4 wives. 3 of them had about 10 children each. The amount of family farmland stayed the same. Their descendants have moved around the planet, generally to lower birth rate countries.
What is the quality of life and population density in Hong Kong, Manila, Lagos (Nigeria)?
Beautifully put. Food really is the great equalizer—one of the few languages we all speak. What moves me most about this work is how it ties nourishment to dignity, equity, and connection. When we treat food as sacred infrastructure rather than commodity, it has the power to heal both people and planet. 🜃🍽️
This weekend I made a savory bread pudding with ciabatta, roasted butternut squash, and caramelized onions.
This is the kind of work that reminds me why I cook. It was about connection and finding something bigger than myself when I needed it. But none of that matters if we don't have access to proper food.
Thank you, Chef, for the beautiful work you continue to do.
Good morning! This weekend, I made my favorite comfort food, navy bean soup with a beautiful hamhock smoked by Edelweiss Deli in Portland (an amazing place), grown by Carlton Farms (the best). Yes, shameless promotion of Oregon grown and made food. Enjoyed the rain,spent time knitting and reading, hoping that the world finds peace.
José, Your generosity is unequalled, especially since EVERYBODY needs your help making sure we all have nutritious food to EAT during our current Political crisis! T.Y.!!!!!
Thanks for sharing this information. I live in an assisted living facility and am dismayed by all of the food waste I see daily. What can I suggest to management about how to reliably handle all this waste? Any suggestions…
