Post Thanksgiving Potluck

SOLD OUT

Sunday, December 1, 2019

By the Sunday after Thanksgiving, your company will have left town or you will have returned home from holiday travels. What better time to transition to life as usual by “slowing down” with Slow Food? Bring a dish made from Thanksgiving leftovers or create something new and totally unexpected! Whatever you do, please join Slow Food East End for a wind-down Community Potluck at the beautiful and cozy Orient Inn.

Guest Speaker – Pennie Rudder will be joining us to describe her work with the very successful Chefs to Schools Program piloted last Spring. Pennie has an educational background in nutrition and biochemistry coupled with a curious spirit, which fuels her passion for sharing how food connects people, affects the environment and is so much fun to cook and eat!  She has taught cooking to children, developed a wellness program for a company and a farmers market, helped in food rescue and recently set up Our Little Pantry in Greenport.

 
Also this evening, Slow Food East End will proudly celebrate the 30th Anniversary of Slow Food International–a great achievement!

North Fork Hunger Forum and Film

Showing “A Place at the Table”

 

Join us as we screen “A Place at the Table: A Documentary on Hunger in America”

Lori Silverbush’s film shows us how hunger poses serious economic, social and cultural implications for our nation, and that it could be solved once and for all, if the American public decides — as they have in the past — that making healthy food available and affordable is in the best interest of us all.

The film will be followed by a panel discussion with

TOM COLICCHIO, Chef/Producer
LORI SILVERBUSH, Film Director/Producer
ELLEN TELLER, FRAC Director of Government Affairs
ROBERT CARPENTER, Executive Director, Long Island Farm Bureau
DR. FATEMA MEAH, Peconic Pediatrics
REV. ROGER JOSLIN, Common Ground Garden
