GOOD FOOD
TAKES GOOD INGREDIENTS

Good ingredients come from ecosystems. Meet some of our favorite producers and products and see how we cook with them.

Local Technique is a nonprofit project. Our recommendations are independent, based on our educational ethos and mission: to champion cooking as a means of learning from and engaging with resilient food systems where life and diversity thrive.
