I knew there were nice corners of the internet (other than Substack of course).
Corners where small revolutions are happening. Revolutions that stab at the heart of what we consider normal when it comes to food.
Corners where small, independent cooks, bakers and condiment makers are making small-batch products and selling them on direct-to-consumer online platforms or via independent stores.
Yes folks, now, there are places you can buy nonna’s pasta direct from her kitchen to yours.
I’m delighted about this trend because when it comes to food, there is so much to be unhappy. Ultra-processed food. Large food companies disguised as small.
Big meat, Big dairy, Big everything.
But small is happening. Small is here. Small is thriving.
And if it continues to grow, it could change everything.
