This post is the first in a series we’re launching by Sarah Minton, our intern at PRK this Fall, about her forays into food as an eager yet inexperienced cook. With the Museum of Science’s new, two-year initiative Let’s Talk About Food fully underway, we thought it would be more than simply ‘interesting’ to get a sense of what our 20-something readers are doing with, and about, their food. For example, if you’re food-minded and at school, how do you deal with the lack of quality control, exploration and creativity inherent in buying and preparing your own meals? Also, do you already know how you want to cook and eat, and from where to stock your kitchen, once you head off on your own? Do you know how to find out? How will you learn to cook?

These are some of the questions we’d like to hear answered (there are surely many more), or at least mused about, as part of an ongoing dialogue about what choices we each make and how they impact our lives, our attitudes about food, our environment. We think those answers might be edifying for all us thinking, writing and reading about food. Anyone is welcome to join in this conversation. Contact us! Now, here’s the link to Sarah’s first post.
