Wow! What a weekend! The Slow Food Board members and myself came together to cook a feast for the more than 100 guests at the 2015 LI Food and Film Feast. It was a huge success! We screened 9 short documentaries, had 10 speakers, and served an organic, multi coursed dinner, beginning with beer, wine and kombucha, and ending with locally roasted, fair trade Ethiopian Coffee and Carrot Cake. In between, we served Bad Ass Organic’s Kimchi Slaws, locally produced Barry’s Tempeh, iEat Green’s Onion Rye Bread, using the wheat that was grown out east on Amber Waves Farm, along with Seafood Chowder made from fish caught that morning by Fisherman Phil Karlin. Of course we had Vegetarian, Vegan and Gluten Free options for everything! The main courses were a Saag Paneer, made with tofu instead of cheese, and a Vegan Shepherds Pie. The evening satisfied all of the senses, and our guests left feeling satiated, connected, and a part of the Slow food Movement! I always feel renewed and re-energized in my commitment to sharing the Slow Food message after a successful event like that!
Please join the Slow Food North Shore Chapter, so that we can continue to bring great events like this to our community!
