The Slow Food movement is a loose coalition of producers and consumers dedicated to the enjoyment and consumption of local produce. It is the opposite of fast food.
The whole blog business is new to me but I have been addicted to reading about food for years. A current obsession is the Observer's food monthly. Colourful, well written and rich as a fruit cake, here in this new age of austerity it is the only Sunday paper/supplement I buy.
