Slow Food Sacramento Heirloom Event — Black Prince wins!
Or maybe it was Tigarella. But then there was Costulato Genovese and Striped German and . . .
Soil Born Farms provided roughly 15 varieties for our Aug. 4 tasting with others coming from Del Rio Farms and Ray Yeung Farm. Dazzling variety.
Great event and yet another that the attendees said we should do again next year. Soil Born representatives gave an informative and inspiring
presentation about their programs. The Web site is great, but the energy and spirit behind the project really showed through the staff and interns who attended our event.
We hope it’s the beginning of a long and fruitful partnership — both with Soil Born and with the Sacramento Co-op. Janet Zeller, SB Board President and Co-op staffer certainly made our job easy — managing set up and clean up, not to mention providing chefs, food, wine, and program! Thank you Janet!
Chefs Terese and Dionisio Esperas provided sumptuous tomato-based gazpacho, salad, and phyllo tart. And they have given us permission to post the recipes on our Web site. Plus attendees got a two-for-the-price-of-one coupon for one of their classes at the Co-op. Thank you Terese and Dionisio!
P.S. - did I mention organic ice cream for dessert?
