      Slow Food Wednesday at Dante Restaurant
Location: Dante, Royal Sonesta Hotel, Cambridge, MA
Cost: $30
When: Wednesday, 05/21/2008 6:00PM
   
      

Details:
The cold, stiff New England earth is slowly beginning to soften - hallalujah! Although the weather is doing its typical ping-pong act, we really do believe that spring is here!

In order to celebrate the first signs of life from our wonderful soil and the re-emergence of our wonderful local farmers markets, join us for a few small dishes of seasonable, local foods paired with Peak Brewing's organic ales.

We've asked the chefs at Dante to think 'SPRING!' with the foods they prepare -- don't know about you, but I'm dreaming of asparagus, ramps, baby artichokes, light fresh flavors... yum! Jon and the crew from Peak will then offer up some of their great beers with each course - and hopefully give us a run-down on the great things they are doing.

We've also corralled reps from FMFM (the Farmers Market Federation of Massachusetts) to come by and talk about the present state and future of the markets in our area. They will have information about market locations and hours for those of you who are looking forward, as I am, to buying from the people who actually grow!

Cost is $30 per person, payable either via Paypal or a check to the address below.

Directions:
Dante Restaurant is located in the Royal Sonesta Hotel at 40 Edwin Land Boulevard in Cambridge, right near the Cambridgeside Galleria.

There is local street parking, as well as a garage on-premises and the closest MBTA stop is Lechmere.

Details:
Join us for a wonderful dinner of seasonable, local foods procured and prepared by farmers, fishermen, chefs and brewers from Massachusetts and Rhode Island!

We are raising money in order to send two local food producers to Slow Food's Terra Madre in Turin this fall. Terra Madre is an incredible gathering of food communities from the world over, coming together to discuss the future of food - sharing thoughts and ideas, teaching one another personal history, food culture and customs. Learn more here: http://www.slowfoodusa.org/events/terra_madre_info.html

Slow Food International pays for expenses once a delegate has arrived in Turin, but paying for plane tickets is a challenge - so we felt it necessary to provide funds for a local person who might otherwise never have the chance....

Stay tuned for more information as we nail down details of the dinner!
