Cooking Sustainability

Sustainable cooking: Cooking sustainability means cooking with the ingredients that are in season and gown locally. This means you can't make tomato soup in the winter when tomatoes are no longer available. Having to get them from a store, where they come from far away is not, and I repeat is not sustainable cooking! Making something with a potato which IS grown locally and in season is cooking sustainability.

Here are some examples of recipes that are sustainable:
