A related change for me came when I joined a CSA http://joshuaspodek.com/farm-food-summer http://joshuaspodek.com/farm-food-summer and gave myself the rule to waste no food. Since I didn't choose what food I'd get and they design the shares for a family not just one person, it forced me to use new foods and learn what grew near me and barely go elsewhere. The experience taught me a lot about how to see plants (and fungi) and prepare them.
