Los Angeles Clan - Your Local Food Networks


As you probably all know, there is a very robust network of LA FARMERS MARKETS, many of them year-round.  Your MAP shows just a few of the closest Farmers Markets to you, and you can DOWNLOAD PLACEMARKS to see them in Google Earth, and to open each one's properties to reveal all the necessary information about the markets.
Of course, for healthy organic grass fed meat, visit your EAT WILD DIRECTORY, and click the link to their CA MAP to zoom in on the meat providers in your area.  It looks a bit scarce in the LA area, but there's a grass fed organic buffalo rancher selling meat in Valencia CA.
To see MAPS for all these places, you can visit LOCAL HARVEST and put your zip code in the upper right field, to see a map and list of the farmers, farmers markets and subscription farms in your area. Go ahead and zoom in on the map so you can see the actual locations in detail.
My favorite COOKING website is ALL-RECIPES - where you can enter a few ingredients you have, and it will give you recipes people have entered, using those ingredients. You can "scale" each recipe for the number of people you want to serve, or amount of ingredients you have. You may also search for "articles" offering advice for canning, roasting meat, making jam, chutney, bread, you name it!
