"I attended a “Rediscovered Foods” cook-off at Google’s High Line Cafe, where several chefs were invited to showcase marginalized crops: Google culinary director Michael Wurster served an ambitious tortellini that incorporated Ethiopian finger millet, the Andean tuber oca, Japanese saltwort, arrowroot, salsify, and truffles, and Pierre Thiam made a simple salad of cucumbers, grape tomatoes, and fonio as part of the coming-out party for these overlooked ingredients." - Clint Rainey
