Native American Food Workshop

Sunday, November 8. 4:00pm - 7:00pm - Completed

Another successful Slow Food Berkeley workshop! Thanks to all for coming. Check out the photo essay of the event.

Join us for a celebration of Native American harvest ingredients with chef John Farais. John will discuss the growing, drying, and storage of traditional ingredients such as acorns, seaweed, and native tubers as he demonstrates recipes updated for modern kitchens. Attendees will taste John's work, get some hands-on experience, and return home with their own set of recipes. The final subjects will be decided by availability, but may include prickly pear, amaranth, native fruits, and more. Limit 25 attendees.

Giardiniera Workshop

Monday, October 12. 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm - Completed

We had a terrifically successful workshop! Thanks to all for coming. Check out the photo essay of the event.

Rudy Duran, chef and owner of C'era Una Volta will teach the secrets of the Italian giardiniera salad at his restaurant in Alameda. You will help the chef cut and chop all the seasonal vegetables from Rudy's recipe and you will assist the "maestro" in preparing this preserve, which is mildly flavored and will accompany many great winter dishes in the coming months!

You will bring home a quart of the giardiniera preserve at the end of the night and you could teach all your friends how to make the real giardiniera.
