Talk About Essential
Welcome to Edible San Diego’s summer 2020 issue. Grab something
cool to drink, and let’s take a moment to sit for a spell.
Like most everyone, Edible San Diego has been dealing with the
pandemic by taking stock, prioritizing, and then reorganizing. To
adapt, we created a new membership program in April and soon
realized we had to go all the way with a digital transformation to
survive and serve our readers and advertisers better than ever before.
Join us online where lots of exciting change is just beginning to unfold.
With so much transition inside and out, we postponed our summer
edition and hope you agree the results are worth the wait. We want
to thank the many people who jumped in to share their recipes and
photos because this summer issue needed to be our most collaborative
effort ever. Take that, COVID!
Our goal with this Uncook Book is to take the struggle out of “what’s
for dinner” (or lunch or breakfast) so we can make better food choices
for ourselves that are automatically better choices for our community,
economy, and the planet.
Considering that most of our everyday meals are not recipe-based, we
compiled simple ideas meant for easy prep and options that everyone
at the table will enjoy. There’s a list of classic fallbacks reminding us
about the ease of tacos and sandwiches, plus ways to make the most
out of rice papers and noodles with prepped veggies. We go nuts for
plant-based milk, creams, and dips that are good with anything, and
we included a few outstanding seasonal salads. We also dedicated space
to our city’s finest resource—local catch—and threw Pacific rockfish
into a ceviche duel.
Local food prepared simply and shared is an incredible gift—and
statement—each time. May we show gratitude for the natural
systems and the many hands that bring it to our plates. Let’s pledge
to learn and work together more effectively for more equitable
wellness in our region.
Edible San Diego is here to further this essential conversation, and your
participation makes all the difference.
