Sustainability, Italian Style
christina cooks: back to the cutting board

Sustainability is about more than carrying reusable bags to the market. It's about being awake and conscious of the steps we take on our fragile planet. Do we all use resources? We do. Can we all do better? Absolutely. From focusing on seasonal ingredients to reducing food waste, we can learn a lot from Italian culture. In this episode, we head to Florence, Italy to visit my friend Roberto. We'll visit an excellent local market to pick out some fresh ingredients, grab a quick coffee to discuss his own sustainable practices, and then head into the kitchen to make a delicious panzanella together - a beloved Tuscan bread-and-veggie salad that you'll want to make all the time. Recipes: Italian Seasonal Salad; Panzanella with Caramelized Figs

Duration: 26 minutes and 45 seconds
