Eating local
Chefs Mark Gaier and Clark Frasier understand that when
fresh herbs and vegetables are combined with gourmet dishes,
the results are delicious. At their restaurant, Summer Winter,
those fresh ingredients come from an on-site greenhouse.

Eco Art
“Opened Loge-Pole-Pines” by Urs-P. Twellman is in the Okanogan
Mountains of British Columbia, Canada. Twellmann explains: “Here I
experienced days with more bears than people around. Upon identifying two dry pines in front of a clear sky, I
decided to divide them with the chainsaw, which is always with me
when I’m traveling the world.

Sustainable Chef of the Year
Chef Suzanne Goin was named the 2010 Monterey Bay Aquarium’s Chef of
the Year, an accolade that recognizes chefs who promote sustainable food. Her style has been described as “Cal-Med-French bistro,” but, she says, “I
hate to put a name on it. I take what is best at the market and make something
sensual and special with it while respecting its innate beauty.”
