NEW GOOD FOOD is an appreciation of food for its possibilities, its bringing together of people to the table, its melding of cultures, its nourishment, which enriches body and soul, its celebration of the people, plants, and animals that make it all happen, and, of course, its extraordinary flavors. My hope is that you find this book a catalyst towards the development of your own natural connection to foods. In the process, your path of discovery will bring not only sheer enjoyment but better health and well-being.
