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. Get your ticket at Brown Paper Tickets \nThe tour will be followed by a no-host lunch at Trading Post Restaurant in town.  \nPlease let us know if you are coming to lunch at slowfoodsonomacountynorth@gmail.com (lunch is not included in the ticket price). \nBoth Lantern Farm & Trading Post have been awarded our Snail of Approval. \nLantern Farm is a mixed produce and flower production in Cloverdale and one of the first Snail of Approval farms in Sonoma County. 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:Around the Slow Table\, Cookbook Version (full\, waitlist only)
DESCRIPTION:Around the Slow Table\, Ruth Reichl\, “My Kitchen Year”\nDo you like to try new recipes and share the results with a small group of friends? Do you enjoy discussing a dish’s ingredients and process of creating it? If your answer is YES\, then join us for dinner based on recipes each guest prepares from My Kitchen Year\, by Ruth Reichl. \nThe location is Shelley and Sam Witten’s home in Cloverdale; their address will be sent upon registration. \nFor this dinner\, Shelley has selected recipes from My Kitchen Year to create a menu. When you register\, she will send you the list of recipes. Select which one you’d like to make and let Shelley know. Make enough for 12 people to have a small amount (a recipe that serves about 6 people should be sufficient). \nAt dinner you’ll get to know each other and discuss your experiences preparing your dish. You may also nominate your own favorite cookbook for another Slow Table meal. \nLimited to 12 people (including hosts)\nPlease also bring a beverage to share.\nPlease RSVP by September 6 to slowfoodsonomacountynorth@gmail.com. \n\nRuth Reichl\, My Kitchen Year\nMy Kitchen Year follows the change of seasons as Ruth Reichl heals through the simple pleasures of cooking after the abrupt closing of Gourmet magazine. Each dish Reichl prepares for herself–and for her family and friends–represents a life’s passion for food: a blistering ma po tofu that shakes Reichl out of the blues; a decadent grilled cheese sandwich that accompanies a rare sighting in the woods around her home; a rhubarb sundae that signals the arrival of spring. Part cookbook\, part personal narrative\, part paean to the household gods\, My Kitchen Year reveals Reichl’s most treasured recipes\, to be shared over and over again with those we love. (Amazon)

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

SUMMARY:Slow Books: Discussion of Daniel Stone's "The Food Explorer"
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a Slow Book discussion of The Food Explorer: The True Adventures of the Globe-Trotting Botanist Who Transformed What America Eats\,” by Daniel Stone.\nThere is no charge for this event\, but space is limited.

Hosting and discussion leader changes for each meeting. \nThe Food Explorer: The True Adventures of the Globe-Trotting Botanist Who Transformed What America Eats\, by Daniel Stone.\nDavid Fairchild was a late-nineteenth-century botanist who traveled the globe and introduced diverse crops such as avocados\, mangoes\, seedless grapes—and thousands more—to the American plate. \nIn the nineteenth century\, American meals were about subsistence\, not enjoyment. But as a new century approached\, appetites broadened\, and David Fairchild set out in search of foods that would enrich the American farmer and enchant the American eater. \nKale from Croatia\, mangoes from India\, and hops from Bavaria. Peaches from China\, avocados from Chile\, and pomegranates from Malta. Fairchild’s finds weren’t just limited to food: From Egypt he sent back a variety of cotton that revolutionized an industry\, and via Japan he introduced the cherry blossom tree\, forever brightening America’s capital. Along the way\, he was arrested\, caught diseases\, and bargained with island tribes. But his culinary ambition came during a formative era\, and through him\, America transformed into the most diverse food system ever created. (Amazon) \n

Hosting and discussion leader changes for each meeting. \n*Kitchen Confidential: Adventures in the Culinary Underbelly by Anthony Bourdain*\n“Kitchen Confidential” reveals what Bourdain calls “twenty-five years of sex\, drugs\, bad behavior and haute cuisine.” \nBourdain uses a “take-no-prisoners” attitude in his deliciously funny and shockingly delectable book\, sure to delight gourmands and philistines alike. From Bourdain’s first oyster in the Gironde\, to his lowly position as dishwasher in a honky-tonk fish restaurant in Provincetown (where he witnesses for the first time the real delights of being a chef); from the kitchen of the Rainbow Room atop Rockefeller Center\, to drug dealers in the east village\, from Tokyo to Paris and back to New York again\, Bourdain’s tales of the kitchen are as passionate as they are unpredictable. \n“Kitchen Confidential” will make your mouth water while your belly aches with laughter. You’ll beg the chef for more\, please. (Amazon)

SUMMARY:Slow Books: "Coming to My Senses" (event full)
DESCRIPTION:Join us for wine\, hors d’oeuvres\, and a Slow Book discussion of Coming to My Senses: The Making of a Counterculture Cook by Alice Waters.\nLisa Hunter’s home\, Healdsburg (address will be sent upon registration)\nPlease bring an hors d’oeuvre and beverage to share.\nThere is no charge for this event\, but space is limited. Please RSVP to Slow Food Sonoma County North\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 \nComing to My Senses: The Making of A Counterculture Cook by Alice Waters\nWhen Alice Waters opened the doors of her “little French restaurant” in Berkeley\, California in 1971 at the age of 27\, no one ever anticipated the indelible mark it would leave on the culinary landscape—Alice least of all. Fueled in equal parts by naiveté and a relentless pursuit of beauty and pure flavor\, she turned her passion project into an iconic institution that redefined American cuisine for generations of chefs and food lovers. \nIn “Coming to My Senses\,” Alice retraces the events that led her to 1517 Shattuck Avenue and the tumultuous times that emboldened her to find her own voice as a cook when the prevailing food culture was embracing convenience and uniformity. \nDotted with stories\, recipes\, photographs\, and letters\, “Coming to My Senses” is at once deeply personal and modestly understated\, a quietly revealing look at one woman’s evolution from a rebellious yet impressionable follower to a respected activist who effects social and political change on a global level through the common bond of food. (Amazon)

Once we receive your registration\, we will send you additional information and directions to the event.\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. \n*We Fed An Island by Jose Andres\, with Richard Wolfe*\nThe true story of how a group of chefs fed hundreds of thousands of hungry Americans after Hurricane Maria and touched the hearts of many more. \nChef José Andrés arrived in Puerto Rico four days after Hurricane Maria ripped through the island. Andrés addressed the humanitarian crisis the only way he knew how: by feeding people\, one hot meal at a time. From serving sancocho with his friend José Enrique at Enrique’s ravaged restaurant in San Juan to eventually cooking 100\,000 meals a day at more than a dozen kitchens across the island\, Andrés and his team fed hundreds of thousands of people. \nBased on Andrés’s insider’s take as well as on meetings\, messages\, and conversations he had while in Puerto Rico\, “We Fed an Island” movingly describes how a network of community kitchens activated real change and tells an extraordinary story of hope in the face of disasters both natural and man-made\, offering suggestions for how to address a crisis like this in the future. \nBeyond that\, a portion of the proceeds from the book will be donated to the Chef Relief Network of World Central Kitchen for efforts in Puerto Rico and beyond.

Hosting and discussion leader will change for each meeting. \nField Days: A Year of Farming\, Eating\, and Drinking Wine in California by Jonah Raskin\nSooner or later\, nearly everyone who cares about wine and food comes to Sonoma”—so begins this lively excursion to a spectacular region that has become known internationally as a locavore’s paradise. Part memoir\, part vivid reportage\, Field Days chronicles the renaissance in farming organically and eating locally that is unfolding in Northern California. \nJonah Raskin tells of the year he spent on Oak Hill Farm—working the fields\, selling produce at farmers’ markets\, and following it to restaurants. He also goes behind the scenes at Whole Foods. In this luminous account of his experiences\, Raskin introduces a dynamic cast of characters—farmers\, chefs\, winemakers\, farm workers\, and environmentalists. They include such luminaries as Warren Weber at Star Route Farm\, the oldest certified organic farm in Marin County; Bob Cannard\, who has supplied Chez Panisse with vegetables for decades; Sharon Grossi\, the owner of the largest organic farm in Sonoma; and Craig Stoll\, the founder and executive chef at Delfina in San Francisco. Raskin also offers portraits of renowned historical figures\, including Luther Burbank\, Jack London\, and M.F.K. Fisher. \nField Days is a heartfelt celebration of the farm-to-table movement and its cultural reverberations.

SUMMARY:CANCELLED-An Afternoon with Healdsburg Author\, Lia Huber
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for a reading and discussion of Nourished: A Memoir of Food\, Faith\, and Enduring Love (with Recipes).\nLia Huber is a long-time Slow Food enthusiast and past board member of Sonoma County North. She enjoyed 5 minutes of fame when the Press Democrat featured her backyard Bodega Red potatoes during the time the board members were doing the first grow-out.\nShe has received acclaim for Nourished: A Memoir of Food\, Faith\, and Enduring Love (with Recipes). The New York Times calls Nourished\, “[A] charming foodie’s travel memoir…[Huber] is endearing\, engaging company and the reader roots for her success.” \nIt was a Buzzfeed Best Book of 2017: “Lia Huber’s Nourished is…deeply heartfelt\, exploring her journey toward using food to nourish physically\, emotionally\, and spiritually.” \nLia will read selections from Nourished\, followed by a moderated Question and Answer discussion. Books will be available for sale and signing.\nOur literary afternoon will include wine and hors d’oeuvres selected from the book’s recipes\, including \nGarlic-Lime Grilled Shrimp \nMelted Summer Squash \nGarlicky Swiss Chard Tartines \nGrilled Prosciutto-Wrapped Stuffed Figs \nWatermelon Agua Fresca \nTickets are $20 per person from Brown Paper Tickets.

From there\, Huber takes readers to the Greek island of Corfu\, where she learns the joys of simple food and the power of unconditional love; to a Costa Rican jungle house\, where she finds hope and healing; and finally to California’s wine country\, where she steps into the person she was meant to be and discovers her calling to nourish others.

SUMMARY:Slow Books: Discussion of Jacques Pepin's "The Apprentice: My Life in the Kitchen"

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 will change for each meeting. \nThe Apprentice: My Life in the Kitchen by Jacques Pepin\nIn this captivating memoir\, the man whom Julia Child has called “the best chef in America” tells the story of his rise from a frightened apprentice in an exacting Old World kitchen to an Emmy Award–winning superstar who taught millions of Americans how to cook and shaped the nation’s tastes in the bargain. \nWe see young Jacques as a homesick six-year-old boy in war-ravaged France\, working on a farm in exchange for food\, dodging bombs\, and bearing witness as German soldiers capture his father\, a fighter in the Resistance. Soon Jacques is caught up in the hurly-burly action of his mother’s café\, where he proves a natural. He endures a literal trial by fire and works his way up the ladder in the feudal system of France’s most famous restaurant\, finally becoming Charles de Gaulle’s personal chef\, watching the world being refashioned from the other side of the kitchen door. \nWhen he comes to America\, Jacques immediately falls in with a small group of as-yet-unknown food lovers\, including Craig Claiborne\, James Beard\, and Julia Child\, whose adventures redefine American food. \n“The Apprentice” is the poignant and sometimes funny tale of a boy’s coming of age. Beyond that\, it is the story of America’s culinary awakening and the transformation of food from an afterthought to a national preoccupation.

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 will change for each meeting. \nClimbing the Mango Trees: A Memoir of a Childhood in India by Madhur Jaffrey\nThe enchanting autobiography of the seven-time James Beard Award-winning cookbook author and acclaimed actress who taught America how to cook Indian food. \nWhether climbing the mango trees in her grandparents’ orchard in Delhi or picnicking in the Himalayan foothills on meatballs stuffed with raisins and mint and tucked into freshly baked spiced pooris\, Madhur Jaffrey has enjoyed a life marked by food. Today these childhood pleasures evoke for her the tastes and textures of growing up. Following Jaffrey from India to Britain\, this memoir is both an enormously appealing account of an unusual childhood and a testament to the power of food to prompt memory\, vividly bringing to life a lost time and place. Also included here are recipes for more than 30 delicious dishes from Jaffrey’s childhood.
