Takin a break

Thursday, March 5th, 2009 | County Fare Site | No Comments

Hello

As a few of you know my wife and I had our second child a little while ago. This combined with me working on finishing a degree in web design and interactive media leave little time to keep expanding and organizing our little food media experiment County Fare. But fear not many exciting things are happening at this time and we will soon be able to translate them into this blog. In the mean time if you have something to contribute feel free to do so. I have set this up as a community resource for us to exchange information that will help support local food supplies as well as the health that this can translate into in terms of ourselves and our local economies.

One Food Lover’s Journey to the Land, or The American Paradox
A talk followed by a dinner based on Lynne’s recipes
       

Sunday, March 8
Coffman Memorial Union, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis
Talk: 1:30 p.m. in the auditorium
Dinner: 3 p.m. at the Campus Club     
Who are we Americans when we sit down to eat? Why do we have all the conflicts over food? How come we can never be like other countries? Lynne digs into these questions as she relates her own coming of age story. It’s a look at food today in America and one woman’s lust for good eating.

Lynne’s presentation (sure to be delightful and informative) will be followed by a dinner upstairs at the Campus Club, based on some of her favorite recipes. The club is known for its good food, and the kitchen sources many ingredients locally. Wine from Crofut and Alexis Bailly will be served.
 
Bring your books by Lynne for autographing. Door prize drawings for books will be held at the talk and dinner.

Tickets for the presentation are $15 general admission. Tickets for both the presentation and dinner are $65 for Slow Food members and $75 for non-members. All but $35 of the package cost is tax deductible. Proceeds will benefit Slow Food Minnesota’s Terra Madre fund.

Tickets may be purchased online at

Purchase by mail by sending a check (made out to Slow Food Minnesota) or your credit card number (with name on card, expiration date and billing address) to Barbara Horter, 14137 Whiterock Road, Burnsville, MN 55337. Please include the address to which you would like tickets mailed. Questions: 612 362-9210.

Lynne Rossetto Kasper is host of public radio’s The Splendid Table and the author of three cookbooks: The Splendid Table, The Italian Country Table and The Splendid Table’s How to Eat Supper. She has won many significant awards for her work.

New members in the Vimeo Group

Tuesday, December 9th, 2008 | County Fare Site | No Comments

A few month ago I started a Vimeo Account to show some of the great homegrown food videos that are there. Not really sure what to expect from the community I was mostly using it a means to bring meaningful content to County Fare in the limited amount of time that I have to do so at this time.

I finally returned to the group to find that there were new members signed up! Very Cool! The worlds foodies will unite! ;-)

One member, Emily Ward, posted a video titled Real Food. You can see it here in the Video Feed, see the link at the top of the page, or go to the Vimeo Group page and see it there.

The Future of Food: Muy Importante!

Tuesday, December 9th, 2008 | Food Activism, Health, Minnesota, Organizations | No Comments

The Future of Food, a film by Deborah Coons Garcia and Lily Films, is an important look into the state of our current food supply. People sometimes ask me why I have taken the stand that locally produced agriculture is important. My replies are always shallow because I can’t sit down with them for the hours it takes to explain the depth of the issue. This film is an excellent resource for knowledge and does a great job of stringing together the pieces of the puzzle that are often hidden from us.

Ital recipes. rasta vegan natural food

Thursday, November 6th, 2008 | Food Writing, Health, Recipes | 1 Comment

I’ve heard of Ital cooking before. And after reading one of Natalia Rose’s book on raw food I’ve been introduced to a whole new cuisine. This is something I will follow up on soon.

“Ital is a term used by Rastas, derived from “vital”, which means a natural and healthy way of life. One aspect of Ital is the Ital food: because the body is a temple, you should not eat unpure food. Also you must take care of your body, cause it is Jah creation. Body is the Chapel. Ital is generally a vegan diet, even if some Rastas eat fish. Some prohibit salt, some not. In all cases, Ital prohibits pork, preservatives, chemical ingredients. Ingredients have to be the most natural possible.In Jamaica, Ital cooking is most often inspired from Indian and African cooking. But lot of recipes can be “Italized” if prepared only with vegetables and natural ingredients.”

P is for Peach

Monday, November 3rd, 2008 | Food Writing | No Comments

Once I had the opportunity to eat a peach. This experience was the inspiration for exercise one chapter one.

Have you ever eaten a peach? And, I don’t mean any orange wedge that slops out of a can and hits the bottom of a bowl with a dull phwap like a wet sock. I mean an honest to goodness fuzzy ball of light orange that deepens to crimson as you turn it in your hand…intoxicated by the sweet smell of magnified Sol. By the time the soft fuzz brushes your lips the aroma is firing nearly every synapse of interconnected gray matter. The bite. Thick ripe juices flow over your tongue and down your cheek. The sweetness of life sends a shock wave from your mouth to your brain which in turn ricochets its report to every last cell. Your eyes roll and close. Surely, an involuntary reaction to this toe curling delight.
