We work with Uncommon Cacao to source ultra-premium grade organic beans. They operate their business with Transparent Trade\, financial transparency\, a step beyond Fair Trade guidelines.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWe receive the fermented/dried cacao at our little factory here in Sonoma County. The first step is roasting\, which is much like roasting coffee. Time and temperature are closely monitored and adjusted during the roasting process. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOnce the beans have been roasted\, there are several more processes before the chocolate bars are molded and packaged. The artwork on the labels are photographs of quilts made by Cathy Shanahan\, a renowned textile artist\, and Jeff’s aunt!

SUMMARY:Slow Books: Love\, Loss\, and What We Ate: A Memoir\, by Padma Lakshmi
DESCRIPTION:Slow Books is an ongoing activity of our chapter. The group meets every 6 weeks to discuss a food-related book and enjoy a potluck dinner based on the book. We meet in people’s homes which can usually only accommodate up to 8 people. For this reason\, we are usually unable to invite others than our core group of participants. \n\nBut we’re learning a lot from the books we’ve read\, and thought you might want to enjoy the books as well.  \n\n\nJUNE SELECTION: Slow Books: Love\, Loss\, and What We Ate: A Memoir\, by Padma Lakshmi \n\nA vivid memoir of food and family\, survival and triumph\, Love\, Loss\, and What We Ate traces the arc of Padma Lakshmi’s unlikely path from an immigrant childhood to a complicated life in front of the camera—a tantalizing blend of Ruth Reichl’s Tender at the Bone and Nora Ephron’s Heartburn \nLong before Padma Lakshmi ever stepped onto a television set\, she learned that how we eat is an extension of how we love\, how we comfort\, how we forge a sense of home—and how we taste the world as we navigate our way through it. Shuttling between continents as a child\, she lived a life of dislocation that would become habit as an adult\, never quite at home in the world. And yet\, through all her travels\, her favorite food remained the simple rice she first ate sitting on the cool floor of her grandmother’s kitchen in South India. \nPoignant and surprising\, Love\, Loss\, and What We Ate is Lakshmi’s extraordinary account of her journey from that humble kitchen\, ruled by ferocious and unforgettable women\, to the judges’ table of Top Chef and beyond. It chronicles the fierce devotion of the remarkable people who shaped her along the way\, from her headstrong mother who flouted conservative Indian convention to make a life in New York\, to her Brahmin grandfather—a brilliant engineer with an irrepressible sweet tooth—to the man seemingly wrong for her in every way who proved to be her truest ally. A memoir rich with sensual prose and punctuated with evocative recipes\, it is alive with the scents\, tastes\, and textures of a life that spans complex geographies both internal and external. \nLove\, Loss\, and What We Ate is an intimate and unexpected story of food and family—both the ones we are born to and the ones we create—and their enduring legacies.

SUMMARY:Scone Making Class\, Sebastopol
DESCRIPTION:Celebrate the New Year by learning to make scones! Join us in a fun\, educational\, and interactive class at Patisserie Angelica. \nPatisserie Angelica\, 6821 Laguna Park Way\, Sebastopol\nTickets \nPatisserie Angelica is a locally-owned\, award-winning French-style artisanal bakery. It has a Slow Food Snail of Approval. Our class will be taught by Maggie\, one of the famous bakers at the patisserie. We will gather in the kitchen to learn the process and mix the dough\, and then sit down in the cosy dining area to enjoy scones with a pot of hot tea. \nPatisserie Angelica’s scones are unique in that they’re made only with cream. There’s no butter\, unlike in many scone recipes. In a Press Democrat interview\, owner Gargana Karabelov explains that “The cream makes them crackly on the outside and softer on the inside\, and they don’t get dry. I like them better than scones made with butter.”Pa \nTickets for this special event are $40 for Slow Food members and $50 for non-members. The class is limited to 10 participants.
