"All of my agricultural
pursuits have been based on being someone who likes to cook but gets
frustrated by the lack of ingredients, especially those that are native
to the New World. It seems to me these indigenous ingredients should
be familiar, if not common but instead our own food is considered
exotic and sometimes in danger of being lost as we pursue a watered
down Euro-centric diet. American cuisine seems to be in a position
of re-inventing itself and I'd love to include ingredients, traditions
and recipes from south of the border as part of the equation. I love
the concept of The Americas. I feel as if it's just as important as
the European heritage many of us share." -Steve Sando
