As I noted here that I was going to participate in Jamie’s Huntington 1000. I wasn’t sure what I wanted to cook at first but I knew I wanted something quick, easy and cheap. Luckily on Jamie Oliver’s site he has a “Budget Meal” section that was perfect for me!

With the variable weather we’ve been having, I wasn’t sure what would show up at the Greenmarket today. I certainly didn’t expect anything as summery as peas to be there. They may require a little work, but fresh peas are wonderful in just about anything.

There’s something therapeutic for me about shelling peas. I’m not really sure why; it’s not something I ever did as a kid. Maybe because in my mind it harkens back to some kind of idyllic childhood, or maybe it’s just because it gives me a more personal connection to my food. When you buy frozen peas, or peas that have already been shelled, it means that more people have handled them, and there has been more time between picking and eating than if you just get the pods.

A farmer’s market is the best place to go if you want to buy your food locally and organically. It’s also a great place to support the farmers who grow the food. Here at Eat To Blog we are proud to announce that we are teaming up with Chef Antonio Medina from The Gastrobus to offer you a guide around farmer’s markets in Los Angeles which we call “The Organic Tour.”
