What's For Dinner?

Tonight's Guest: Ilene Bezahler Since Ilene Bezahler founded Edible Boston 9 years ago, Boston area farmers' markets increased from 65 to 300. The magazine's circulation and objectives have grown as dramatically. 80+ Edible magazines in the US and Canada promote local food businesses and sustainability but now seek more multi-faceted impacts. Edible Boston is embarking on food policy coverage in an upcoming series on local farmers' production costs. Ilene isn't stereotypical - her grandmothers weren't good cooks; her food heritage is one of experimentation and no particular ethnic tradition. Describing the magazine's changing stories and her relationships with food businesses, the interview makes you realize that entrepreneurial publishers in the "local foodspace" can help lay the groundwork for food system change.
