The Local Food Report
As we re-imagine our relationships to what we eat, Local Food Report creator Elspeth Hay takes us to the heart of the local food movement to talk with growers, harvesters, processors, cooks, policy makers and visionaries

There's a Local Eggplant for Every Taste

Elspeth Hay

Eggplants come in many sizes, shapes, and colors. This week on The Local Food Report, Elspeth Hay talks with local growers about what varieties they're growing and how to cook with them. There's a recipe on her blog for caponata, and she's also put up a guide to the eggplant varieties mentioned in the show.
