As someone who teaches about both food and the environment, I try to impart this to my students - the fact that all animal life on earth (including humans) is entirely dependent on plants. Not only do they eat sunlight and create food for us to eat (or for the animals that we eat to eat), they are also responsible for more than 70% of the earth's oxygen. The majority of that oxygen is produced by ocean plankton, which is why many scientists are worried about how quickly ocean conditions are changing.
I've been making my own 100% rye sourdough for more than a year and I have access to amazingly good Roquefort at my tri-weekly local market here in Lyon, but I never thought to put the two together. I will by trying that this week for sure!
The reality of all of this you write about—plants, the sun, our earth— astounds me and inspires me. All beautiful combinations on the plate, too, Nom ❤️
