First event of 2010 a great success
On January 13th, Proprietors Dennis Johnston and Monica Bauche welcomed SFNS to FID Resto for a delicious evening of local food and wine, prepared with the usual Fid panache. Organized by Slow Food members David and Wendy Jones, the event was sold out with a waiting list.
Producers Ted Hutton (Hutton Family farm), Bill Wood (Woodn' Hart) and Beatrice Stutz (Domaine de Grand Pre) were all in attendance. The delicious meal included a crispy head cheese app or jeruasalem artichoke soup, followed by Confit of Lamb shoulder or line caught Haddock. A delicious and authentically prepared Tarte Tatin rounded out the meal, accompanied by copious amounts of Grand Pre wines.
Thanks to FID and the the Jones' for mounting this great event.
Our next scheduled event is early March - our Iron Chef day! Stay tuned for details. We are also looking for a couple of volunteers to participate in a couple of Slow Food demo sessions at the Wolfville Farmers Market in the coming months.
And our planning for the Slow Food Canada National Leader's meeting (which will include a large Slow Food Banquet in Halifax on May 1) is well under way.
