Dear all
the outline of the event is still being drawn at the time of printing but I would like to know already if you would be interested in attending as we will have to confirm numbers to our hosts very soon!
The book:
The Slow Food Story
Politics and Pleasure
Slow Food West Highlands & Islands Convivium members, Dan Rose-Bristow and Kevin Broome, the proprietor and the chef at the Torridon in Wester Ross are to host an event on November 1st 2008 celebrating the very best of local food with particular focus on the 'langoustine'. In the morning there will be a visit and boat trip to their local creel fisherman at Loch Torridon, one of two Marine Stewardship Areas in the UK, the other being just up the road at Gairloch.
The book focuses on the cuisine of South West France and mixes recipes with insights into the region, its people and its culture. My copy has only just arrived, but I am already hungry. Because of the nature of this book we are going to make this next meeting a potluck get together at my house in Oxford. The idea is to bring along a dish from the book (more or less) to fuel our chat. I hope it sounds good - I'm planning to put together one of the soup recipes to warm up the evening. When you know if you can make it, please send me an email and I'll send out directions to my house.

Dear all, attached are the details of an event we are holding on the 20th March, in Falmouth . Hosted at the Greenbank Hotel in Falmouth with Head Chef, Prosenjit Kumar, a champion of sourcing local produce which supports a wealth of small local businesses. Prosenjit trained with Raymond Blanc and was formerly Chef in Charge to HRH King Fahad of Saudi Arabia .
Our next book is Heat by Bill Buford. This is a book that promises to take us back into the frenzy of the professional kitchen, so I hope you enjoy it. It also has the subtitle " An amateur's adventures as kitchen slave, line cook, pasta-maker, and apprentice to a Dante-quoting butcher in Tuscany." What's not to like about that?
We will meet as usual in the Summertown Wine Cafe.
