Read This! The Edible City

Think you love food? Think you know your city? I think not.

Though the title reads "from farm to fork", this is NOT just another book persuading you to buy local, sustainable, fair trade, organic, ethical, rah, rah. It’s a story about FOOD, and TORONTO. Rather, a collection of essays about craft beer, indie coffee shops, world culture, food policy, history, gardens, food service, street food, migrant workers, food sanitation practices and life as a rat. Just to name a few.

This book is easily one of my favourite reads this year. One of the best essays came from Wayne Roberts, Toronto’s own food policy darling. “How Toronto found its food groove” celebrates Toronto’s food movement past, present and future in a way that makes you truly feel proud of our city.

But really, they are ALL fantastic reads. Read one, read them all.
