Cooking At The Natural Cafe In Santa Fe (Paperback) by Walters, Lynn

Are you wondering what all the different labels on meat and poultry mean? In general, look for the terms "free range" (with poultry) or "grass fed" (with beef.) Both will have distinctly better flavor than regular supermarket meat or poultry, and it's kinder to the animals and the environment. "Organic" means the animals have been fed an all-organic diet, and is another term to look for- though it can sometimes mean a higher price point. You might also see terms referring to antibiotics or hormones- it's better to avoid meat or poultry that hasn't been fed either of them. Finally, you might also see the term "all natural", which is pretty vague, so make sure the label also tells you what, exactly, is all natural about it.
