"Cooking With Adolescents [is] not meant to imply that I'm using the adolescents as ingredients, although sometimes allowing them to stew in their own juices is politic during a power struggle." Julie, A Finger in Every Pie

Julie from A Finger in Every Pie writes almost too well for a blog read. I always find myself wanting to cosy up in bed to read her engaging words from the page of an old-fashioned book instead.

Talking of fashion, Julie has found herself, all of a sudden, teaching a High School Elective on Food. Despite the importance of a teen's image in class (one student arrives wearing a "sexy, tight little apron") the pupils nevertheless seem to have a healthy thirst for a knowledge of everything nutritional. What a great opportunity for Julie to share her passion with these children. Since I was lucky enough to hang out with Julie at the farmer's market in San Francisco earlier this summer, I can confirm that few people can talk as eloquently and knowledgeably about food as she does.

I am kind of wishing I was back in High School with Julie as my teacher...
