This community is for anyone who cares about good food. Possible topics of discussion might include restaurants, cooking, "slow food", website recommendations, food-related travel, celebrations, food photography, history of food, and/or queries, tips, and tastes.

Please avoid posts such as "What should I cook tonight...?" If you *must* post such a query, think about putting it in the form of "I have x, y, and z on hand, what should I do with them...?" or "I would like to try to make something ..., does anyone have any suggestions?"

This community is open to all, but entries will be moderated by yours truly. Please try to stay on topic. This should be easy, since the topic is fairly broad--food, and how much we love it!

Oh, and *no* low-fat recipes, please! This is a pro-food/positive body image community!

Welcome. I look forward to sharing my passion for food in all its forms with you.
