Food Curated Presents: Salvatore Bklyn

Liza from Food Curated recently did a great story about Betsy and Rachel over at Salvatore Bklyn.  The video tells the story of this unique operation and gives a good look at the cheese making processs.  Betsy and Rachel are currently the only urban cheese makers in New York.  Salvatore Bklyn is known for their excellent ricotta and smoked ricotta.  Though, as the video briefly mentions, the ricottas are made from whole milk (from Hudson Valley Fresh), so are not technically ricotta which is made from whey.  Never these less, they are delicious.

PS. Congratulations to Liza on her 2nd James Beard Nomination for Best Video Webcast.

Presidential Inspiration

The last talk I want to share with you from the TEDx Manhattan conference is by Josh Viertel, President of Slow Food USA.  In this inspirational oration, Josh tells the story of how he got involved in the food movement and sounds a call to action for a shift from a "movement of enlightened eaters to a movement of people engaged as citizens".
