Lucid Food: Cooking for an Eco-Conscious Life
Yesterday I hit up Greenlight Bookstore in Fort Greene to hear Louisa Shafia talk about her book, Lucid Food: Cooking for an Eco-Conscious Life. Well, let’s be a little more candid, I mainly went to try the food she whipped up from recipes in this stunning cookbook. On the table, she had a briny, crisp red cabbage, apple, and dulse salad (page 86), a fluffy, fresh tortilla Espanola (page 36), and the bittersweet, flourless chocolate cake with prune puree and hazelnuts (page 65). Um, yum?! Each hor’dourves sized bite had a unique, refreshing flavor, but the best part, Shafia had gotten all her ingredients from the Fort Greene Farmer’s Market.
