About this listen
“Dan Barber's tales are engaging, funny and delicious . . . The Third Plate serves as a brilliant culinary manifesto with a message as obvious as it is overlooked. . . . It's an inspiring message that could truly help save our water, air and land before it's too late.” —The Chicago Tribune
“Barber writes a food manifesto for the ages.” —Pittsburgh-Post Gazette
Today’s optimistic farm-to-table food culture has a dark secret: the local food movement has failed to change how we eat. It has also offered a false promise for the future of food. In his visionary New York Times–bestselling book, chef Dan Barber, recently showcased on Netflix’s Chef’s Table, offers a radical new way of thinking about food that will heal the land and taste good, too. Looking to the detrimental cooking of our past, and the misguided dining of our present, Barber points to a future “third plate”: a new form of American eating where good farming and good food intersect. Barber’s The Third Plate charts a bright path forward for eaters and chefs alike, daring everyone to imagine a future for our national cuisine that is as sustainable as it is delicious.
This book is for everyone who seeks to understand the interrelationship of flavour, nutrition, the environment, the care taken to nurture exceptional food practices through time-honoured methods and traditions as well as modern technologies that help the creation of new breeds of grains. This story traverses the globe, focuses on exceptional individuals who have backed their visions and worked with the nature of animals to create loving perfection in everything from ham, grains, carrots, geese, liver, working in balance with nature.
If your tastebuds are connected, then reposition your understanding of who is doing the best work for the future of our foods, trends and attitudes. God bless chefs who care so much that they take their power to influences and educate as a priority. These people will hopefully reset our understanding of food for generations to come and ensure that we can preserve what we have left to work with. We all need to wake up and smell the plankton. As a chef, I am ever grateful.
