While reading Elle Deco || South Africa, I learned of food adventurer Andreas Viestad. He's from Norway and is part farmer, chef, nomad, and all-round culinary gypsy. His site is beautiful and his books seem to offer up the multi-cultural and seasonal type of fare that I"m drawn to.
Moreover, I'm fascinated by his 'Garden of Elgin' project that he's working on together with fellow farmer (and brain surgeon!) Paul Cluver. Vistad describes the farming adventure as:
...a small agricultural project where we do everything that normal industrial agricultural wisdom tells us we shouldn’t. The only way to make agriculture profitable is to find out what you grow best and to specialize on that commodity. We do exactly the opposite – we cultivate diversity.
