Cooking Up Slow Food - A Return To Simplicity - September 12 –15, 2010

Slow food is the opposite of industrial, processed, engineered, fast food. This particular focus encourages everyone to slow down and use their senses to enjoy quality food with awareness. We’ll return to that time when small farms and gardens produced the food we ate, harvested when it was time and seasons were meaningful as they brought distinct flavors into our lives. Join us in linking the pleasure of delicious food with a commitment to our community and the planet. We’ll create a fresh and flavorsome seasonal menu that satisfies the senses with locally available ingredients. Learn to choose food that is produced in harmony with the environment and local culture.

Whether you are an experienced home cook or are just beginning to expand your food awareness– all you need to bring is your appetite for knowledge, enjoyment and delicious food. Join Chef Patrice Gerard, PCEC
