Slow Food thrives on the work of volunteers, the contributions of members and the generosity of donors. One of the best ways to contribute is to become a member. That way you’re signed up for all our events and classes and news all for the low, low, low annual price of $60. But a few times a year we have Give What You Can Days, when we ask our neighbors and friends to join Slow Food or renew their membership by contributing what you can. Can you go full fare and send $60? Or is $5 within your budget right now? Or are you able to support our efforts to bring cooking and gardens to schools and work to preserve endangered plants like the Long Island Cheese Pumpkin by giving $150, $200 or $1,000?
Cheers to Our First Chef Series of 2022!
Our first virtual event of 2022 brought together over 80 people from across the Slow Food East End community to learn tips and tricks from two of our favorite East Ends bread bakers. David Chaffin, our very own board member and the creator of the Flour Power bread recipe, baked bread from his home while speaking with sourdough-expert Ana Burcroff. The two of them baked bread using David’s recipe and answered questions from the audience, sharing a peak into their technique and their kitchens.
Thank you to everyone who attended the event and a special thank you to David and Ana for helping us start the year strong! And thank you to our sponsor for this event, Truly Grass Fed, an Irish dairy brand that produces delicious butter and cheese with integrity and care for people, animals, and the planet. We are grateful for their generous support in making this event possible!
We hope that this live event may have sparked an interest in becoming involved in our Flour Power programming, and we invite you to sign up today to join in the fun and give back to your community. Anyone can join – no matter your baking expertise. Check out our winter baking dates, and sign up today on our website!
