“For Italians, what they eat is the key to their identity. The flavors of Italian food are expressions of the territory they come from and the cooking of each community celebrates the local character that makes it unique. The immense cultural value of the work the Edible Communities perform is that they identify the regional differences that exist here and provide people with a connection to locally grown foods. It’s an important message that wants to be delivered clearly and appealingly. Our congratulations to Edible Communities for meeting that challenge.” - Marcella & Victor Hazan
“The food producers of our community have jewels to offer, and light from Edible Sarasota shines upon them and singles them out .” - Marcella & Victor Hazan
