A carnivore eats meat - an herbivore eats vegetables - an omnivore eats everything - and a LOCAVORE eats locally.

Local foods are fresher, tastier, and better for you and the planet than food that is shipped across the country.

We all know that our own garden, farmer's market, berry patch, or neighbor's chicken coop can produce some great stuff.

So how do you use local foods? We're looking for you locavore... and your favorite recipes that include at least one locally produced ingredient... and the more local ingredients the better!

WDSE-WRPT is partnering with the Whole Foods Co-op to make this the best cooking show ever, but it can't happen without you! Please send your best local recipes to WDSE Cooks by the 5th of July.

Everyone who sends in their recipes will get a gift - recipes submitted will appear in our cookbook - if we choose your recipe and you appear on our show - you'll get your own copy of the cookbook and an apron. If your recipe has the most locally produced ingredients you could win one of two $50 gift certificates to the Whole Foods Co-op. Just get those recipes in by the 5th of July.

Email your recipes to: jkellner@wdse.org or visit the Cooks program page for a submission form to print and send.
