These days, the peanut butter section of the grocery store has expanded drastically to include almond butter, sunflower seed butter, chocolate hazelnut spreads, soy nut butter and more! This increased nut butter variety is largely due to the increased incidence of peanut allergies in America, but also in part to the fact that consumers are learning that not all fats are bad, and the unsaturated fats in nuts (and nut butters) are actually healthy.

It's a story about hungry travelers who encounter a village of stingy folk. They creatively devise a plan to get the townspeople to share their food without even knowing it—all concocted through a "secret recipe" for a dish called Stone Soup. To me this book is not only about sharing, it is also about the discovery of good cuisine—in which the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. Blog Fri, 07 Dec 2012 00:00:00 GMT http://foodandnutritionmagazine.com//rediscovering-fall-japanese-sweet-potato-soup When I first moved to Japan in the summer of 2011, I was amazed by all of the different produce around me. I took some time to acquaint myself with the new foods and took cooking classes to learn how to prepare them. Months passed and suddenly I realized that it wasn't summer in Japan anymore; it was fall. Watching the leaves change color sent a rush of fall memories flooding back. You see, I had lived in Las Vegas for 5 years, and then the Azores for a couple of years before Japan. While in these different climates, the essence of fall had escaped me. Now, in Japan, I remembered that, despite the chill in the air, fall was a beautiful season and I really do enjoy it.

While I liked ketchup, I would gag at even the thought of biting into even the tiniest piece of tomato. Looking back, I think it was a combination of taste and texture because even the juice would make me shudder. My parents tried to persuage me to give tomatoes a go into my teenage years but they remained firmly at the top of my Food I Hate List. I'm thankful that growing up my Foods I Hate list was very short and that's probably why my parents didn't worry as my diet was otherwise well-rounded.

Growing up, we had a peach tree at my parents' house with sweet juicy peaches to die for. When I moved to the U.S. as an adult, I was excited to see beautiful peaches in grocery stores; I was even more excited about seeing them in the winter. And it wasn't only peaches. Watermelons in December? That was unheard of in Jordan where I grew up. We only had watermelons in the summer. Fresh pineapples? We rarely had those. They're grown too far away and too expensive to export. Initially, I thought that having almost all kinds of produce all year long was a blessing. But then I bit into one of those winter peaches.

But I did have a patch of dirt where my parents cleared out some old bushes. Armed with a few packs of seeds, kid-size gardening tools, and the gumption that comes with being a 7-year-old, I set to work. I cared for my little patch of dirt like a true farmer. Running outside in bare feet with the cold dew-covered grass freezing my toes, I checked on my garden every morning. I don't remember how long it took to grow, but I do remember the first time I plucked a ripe tomato and ate it. A tomato I had grown. Best tomato ever.

Because the local farmers couldn't handle the workload by themselves (we are talking the time of agriculture before heavy machinery came into use), all able bodies in the nearby villages—including young children—were enlisted to bring in the crops.
