Georgia + Brussels Sprouts = Total Love

I adore brussels sprouts. I adore Georgia Pellegrini. When Georgia posted on brussels sprouts recently, my objects of adoration collided and it felt as if our virtual bond was forever cemented. I love anyone who loves brussels sprouts and her photos are a tribute to this under-appreciated vegetable.

Georgia is a food fanatic, chef, writer and TV personality who hunts down artisan food experiences and profiles those food heroes on her blog and in her soon-to-be-released book, appropriately titled “Food Heroes.” Georgia and I are passionate about the same stuff – hand-crafted food, the slower, old-fashioned way of preserving culture through food. We both support keeping it local and authentic. And I have a feeling she’s as into independent, small Mom-n-Pop producers, chefs and restaurateurs as I am. I will watch her food journey very, very closely.

Getting back to the food… If you hate brussels sprouts, and I’d be so disappointed in you if you did, please dig into Georgia’s easy recipe. Here’s a snippet of her post:

“As you know, I like changing people’s minds. It makes me fuzzy inside. Most people don’t like brussel sprouts. It’s the black sheep of vegetables… “eeew brussel sprouts,” is the default way to use it in a sentence. But they really are lovely little things…”
