Slow Food

While on vacation, I made an effort to slow down from my usual frantic pace and savour extra time to prepare some slow cooked meals. This was inspired by the "slow food" movement that started in Italy and is now finally influencing North America. The movement celebrates a slower paced approach to enjoying food, from producing to cooking to eating (a real backlash to our fast food, fast everything mentality!).

So this recipe for braised short ribs is dedicated to the slow food movement. May we all find a little more time to savour and enjoy food!
