I am a 30-something female living in a mid-sized city in the Northeast, which prevents me from buying fresh, locally grown produce year-round. I live in an apartment, not a house, so I do not have a backyard for a garden, or enough space to have additional freezer space.
I have a Master's degree in Theory and Criticism, a Bachelor's in Sociology, and a Bachelor's in Fine Art Photography. I currently work as an adjunct professor of sociology at two of the local community colleges.
I have loved to cook for a very long time. I have been political for a long time. I have been a social critic for a long time. But it has only been in the last two years that I have been developing my political consciousness around food and food politics. In that past year I have been working on fitting my food politics (beliefs and values) into my everyday relationship with food.
This blog is a diary; it is a way for me to both document for myself and to share with others how I am incorporating my beliefs into practice. I plan to share techniques, tips, recipes, books and articles, ideas...anything to provide information to those unaware of food politics, to raise the consciousness of others, and to provide resources for those trying, like me, to bring my life more in line with my consciousness.
