Locavore 2012

Welcome to Locavore Cooking and Writing 2012!

We will focus our writing, research, cooking, and field trips on the local food scene in central Utah, and spend about half our time cooking, tasting and field tripping and half our time working on food poems, restaurant reviews, food memoirs, recipe writing, and blog posts.

Here's our wish list of activities for the term:
