SUMMARY:Keeping Traditions As We Move Forward: Sonoma County North Annual Meeting
DESCRIPTION:On world Terra Madre Day\, we will come together virtually to report on the status and health of our chapter\, and to share some of our personal food traditions. Please join us!\nThere is no cost for the meeting but please register so you can receive the Zoom link. \nTerra Madre Day celebrates local food on a global scale.

Terra Madre Day brings together all who share the vision of a food system that supports local economies\, that respects the environment\, biodiversity\, taste\, and tradition. \nFood Traditions\nMost of us have traditional dishes our families prepared when we were young\, and we have evolved our own food traditions as adults. Many of these revolve around holidays\, and others are everyday food that comfort us with reminders of love and community. \nWe believe that keeping these food traditions in our lives helps us to move forward in an increasingly complex world. \nWe invite you to share one of your food traditions with us during the meeting: what is the dish? what memories do you associate with it?

SUMMARY:Slow Books: Clementine in the Kitchen (virtual)
DESCRIPTION:  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhen “Clémentine in the Kitchen” first appeared in 1943\, it immediately captivated American readers. Written by the artist Samuel Chamberlain under the pen name Phineas Beck\, it recounts the gastronomic adventures of the Beck/Chamberlain family during the decade that their beguiling Burgundian cook Clémentine produced wonderful French meals for them\, both in France and in their New England home in Marblehead\, MA. An appendix contains 125 recipes–classic dishes\, regional specialties\, and much that is useful for special occasions. But the most compelling are plain and old-fashioned. These are the dishes that identify the Clémentine family style\, a style so French\, so civilized\, so knowing in its use of ingredients that it cannot become impractical or ever go out of date: filets de sole au vin blanc\, boeuf à la mode\, endives braisées― trophies of la cuisine bourgeoise that never fail to please. (Amazon)

SUMMARY:Slow Books: "The Omnivore's Dilemma"
DESCRIPTION:On Monday\, February 24\, Slow Books will discuss The Omnivore’s Dilemma: A Natural History of Four Meals by Michael Pollan. We will meet at 5:30 pm at Denaire Nixon’s home in Cloverdale. RSVP required\nWhat should we have for dinner? Ten years ago\, Michael Pollan confronted us with this seemingly simple question and\, with “The Omnivore’s Dilemma\,” his brilliant and eye-opening exploration of our food choices\, demonstrated that how we answer it today may determine not only our health but our survival as a species. In the years since\, Pollan’s revolutionary examination has changed the way Americans think about food. Bringing wide attention to the little-known but vitally important dimensions of food and agriculture in America\, Pollan launched a national conversation about what we eat and the profound consequences that even the simplest everyday food choices have on both ourselves and the natural world. Ten years later\, “The Omnivore’s Dilemma” continues to transform the way Americans think about the politics\, perils\, and pleasures of eating. (Amazon)

SUMMARY:Farm Tour: Lantern Farm
DESCRIPTION:Please join Rebecca Bozzelli for a tour of her Lantern Farm!\nWe will tour through the fields of veggies\, fruit\, and flowers and sample some produce in the fields. Flowers and produce will be available for purchase in the barn.\n26209 River Road\, Cloverdale \n$10 per person.

While Rebecca was looking for land\, her daughter suggested calling the farm Lantern Farm. This seemed like a fine name and the name Lantern Farm was born. A short while later\, and conveniently just down the street\, Rebecca and her family were looking at a potential farm site on River Road that used to be a prune orchard many years ago and has been fallow since. While inspecting the barn\, two old lanterns were hanging on the back wall\, a sure sign that this land was to be Lantern Farm. That was in winter of 2016. The lease was signed in April of that same year\, and Lantern Farm has been growing ever since.

SUMMARY:Slow Books: Discussion of Diana Abu-Jaber's "The Language of Baklava"
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a Slow Book discussion of The Language of Baklava by Diana Abu-Jaber.\nThere is no charge for this event\, but space is limited. Please RSVP to slowfoodsonomacountynorth@gmail.com. Once we receive your registration\, we will send you additional information and directions to the event.\n  \nWhat Is Slow Books? \nSlow Books is a series of discussions of food-related books written from a variety of perspectives–chef\, critic\, consumer\, producer. Meetings are held every 6 weeks and are open to everyone with an interest in the current book. Books are chosen by the group. Hosting and discussion leader changes for each meeting. \nThe Language of Baklava\, by Diana Abu-Jaber.\nDiana Abu-Jaber’s vibrant\, humorous memoir weaves together delicious food memories that illuminate the two cultures of her childhood—American and Jordanian. Here are stories of being raised by a food-obsessed Jordanian father and tales of Lake Ontario shish kabob cookouts and goat stew feasts under Bedouin tents in the desert. These sensuously evoked repasts\, complete with recipes\, paint a loving and complex portrait of Diana’s impractical\, displaced immigrant father who\, like many an immigrant before him\, cooked to remember the place he came from and to pass that connection on to his children. The Language of Baklava irresistibly invites us to sit down at the table with Diana’s family\, sharing unforgettable meals that turn out to be as much about “grace\, difference\, faith\, love” as they are about food. (Amazon) \n
