Slow Food in Phoenix, Good Life

The Slow Food Movement in Phoenix, Arizona

You must be familiar with the Slow Food movement which is quickly moving across the world as many people rebel against food and restaurants that are the same any where you go in the world? Right? No? That is what many of my friends and clients say. But they agree that they miss a lot of the good that life gives us. We often, in this fast paced chomp down food and work life, forget to enjoy what we have now. Slow Food is just that, it ask you to slow down and enjoy what is locally around you; that means local food. It's a strong organization that promotes and often saves local producers and foods that may other wise be forgotten or even lost. One of the members is the restaurant Quiessence, which I wrote about in an earlier blog. Explore the local food, the local colors and visit some of the farmer's markets that feature local food at its best.
