February 2008

Hi everyone,
we are off to a great start of 2008 celebrating the late great Martin Luther King, Jr, Black History, presidential primary election, Chinese New Year and Valentines' Day. A great month to recognize and celebrate our diversity. I am thankful for all our blessings.

Culinary news, food prices continue to increase putting demands on retail, wholesale, restaurants and especially at home. I choose to purchase the least expensive meats that require slow roasting/stewings/braising. This creates a hardy winter dish to warm your heart and soul.

Vegetables are always plentiful and delicious. I am using winter squashes for soups, side dishes, and stews. Pasta with wilted greens, salads with a hearty bluecheese vinaigrette. Legumes and beans from around the globe make interesting soups too. These dishes are relatively inexpensive and easy to create. Be sure to check out my recipes at www.chefbiron.com or inside the local edition of California Healthy.

Thanks for all your support and green enthusiasm making a difference in what we eat, how we live, and take care of our planet in 2008. In addition to working full time, I keep myself busy taking writing courses to increase my skills. I currently write a food column for California Tour and Travel Magazine and on www.cupertinodaily.com

About Me: I began learning the art of preparing fresh, healthy foods as a teenager. I heard a culinary career calling. I really enjoy the fast pace and the intensity of the work. After graduating from the Culinary Institute of America in NY, Biron got a job as executive sous chef, then rose to executive chef at Harvard University’s JFK School of Politics. There I prepared foods for the world’s most influential political and religious leaders, along with plenty of other famous and discerning diners. Today, I combine my extensive experience and inspiration from my culinary heroes with my strengthened commitment to supporting organics. This, I believes, is the key to improving the health of our population, protecting the environment and creating a sustainable agricultural system. Buying organics really does make a difference. It’s mind over matter. That’s not to say you can always find the organics you’re looking for 24/7; sometimes it’s a matter of affordability and what’s in season. But I know I have a conscious choice, and do my best to choose wisely.
