October 24th is the country’s first ever Food Day, similar to Earth Day but focused on promoting a just, healthy, and sustainable food system. As soon as I learned about it, I began thinking about an appropriate way for me to mark the day. I’m someone who is professionally involved with food, one who loves to eat and loves to cook, and one who has always associated food with meals shared with family and friends. So I decided to bring Food Day into the home with a celebratory dinner for eight special friends.
With a nod to one of the movement’s basic principles of “supporting local farms,” everything I cook will come from the Union Square Greenmarket; and going a step beyond the push for “Meatless Mondays,” everything on the menu will be meatless.

Corky Pollan, former Style Director of Gourmet and Best Bets Editor of New York Magazine, has returned to her first love, cooking. In her Devour posts, she’s eager to debunk cooking myths and solve some cooking mysteries.
I love the idea of taking Meatless Monday's a step further and planning the entire meal from what's available at the Greenmarket. The harvest vegetable bake sounds delicious!
I love the idea of balsamic vinegar in butternut squash soup! it will add that extra layer without using too much salt. I would like that with the jalapeno corn bread
I can't wait to try Corky Pollan's Farro salad. Recently I tried Farro for the first time and I loved it.
Great menu. I'm adding this to a round-up of #FoodDay menus I'm doing at my blog. If you have one, please share it! (www.eatdinner.org)

Everybody today seems to go to extremes to either drive home their views or suggest that
anyone else in the world is wrong.
Thank you for your accurate and relevant insights.
