Cooking with fresh, local food is a key component of "green" living and the Slow Food movement. This is because local food that is unprocessed has not been shipped, refridgerated, or stored, therefore less energy is used from the time it leaves the farm until it gets to your table. If the food is organic, then it is even "greener", because producing it has not caused as big an environmental impact as food grown with the use of agricultural chemicals.
