Thanks to Twitter and @SkeeterNYC, I learned about this fun, video-driven site: Food Curated.
And there went my evening. The blog entries and mini-documentaries show where food comes from through the lens of Brooklyn’s Liza de Guia.
Her latest piece is about backyard chickens in Brooklyn. Don’t miss the video. It’s more engaging than many traditional news reports I’ve seen about backyard chickens, and gives you a better sense about what it’s like for these young women to have embraced the whole chicken-as-pet concept.
Also don’t miss the piece on specialty jam making, featuring Josephine’s Feast, a new artisanal preserves company which uses seasonal products from farms in the New York region.
More fun than the Food Network, I promise.
