From Woods to Plate: Foraged Foods of the Pacific Northwest

Foraging is not just a throwback to our hunter-gatherer past. It's a way to reconnect with the landscape whether rural or urban and eat healthy, delicious wild foods. Author and forager Langdon Cook will share his adventures in the field and in the kitchen with a slide presentation.

Copies of his book Fat of the Land: Adventures of a 21st Century Forager will be available for purchase at the lecture.

What is Slow Food?
Slow Food is an idea, a way of living and a way of eating. It is a global, grassroots movement with thousands of members around the world that links the pleasure of food with a commitment to community and the environment. Whether it's participating in local Slow Food events, meeting conscientious farm and artisan producers at Seattle area farmers markets, or savoring restaurant cuisine featuring the region's vibrant produce, the Puget Sound offers many wonderful and delicious opportunities to support and enjoy good, clean and fair food.

Slow Food Seattle's mission is to share the pleasures of the table through experiences that heighten awareness of artisanal and sustainable foods of our region and the world. Check our website for more info and upcoming events: www.slowfoodseattle.org
