Slow Food is an international movement founded by Carlo Petrini in 1986. Promoted as an alternative to fast food, it strives to preserve traditional and regional cuisine and encourages farming of plants, seeds and livestock characteristic of the local ecosystem. It was the first established part of the broader Slow Movement. The movement has since expanded globally to over 100,000 members in 150 countries.[1] Its goals of sustainable foods and promotion of local small businesses are paralleled by a political agenda directed against globalization of agricultural products."

Note: Many of us like eating veggie diets. You can *always* follow a recipe here and leave out the meat!
The recipes here are inspired by love. Please post your favorites.
This is one of my personal favorites: Portobello mushrooms, green pepper, onion and broccoli sautéed in truffle oil with chili pepper, turmeric, garlic salt and black pepper.
Incidentally, I set the plate on a Moroccan kilim. Kilims are tribal rugs. Read all about them here.

Kilim patterns are a language. Here's an interesting story explaining the kilim language: http://www.kilim.com/about_kilims/lang_of_kilims.asp
