Eat It Real Slow Down Under

Josh Spear points to the a Slow Food Festival in August held in Victoria, Australia. The two-week Taste Of Slow program includes classes, dinners, discussions and tasting opportunities, culminating in experts and chefs and the chance to engage in “produce, pleasure and provocation.” JS explains the Slow Food movement:

This 1986 Italian movement was cooked up in response to the negative impact of multinational food industries and is about using local seasonal produce, restoring time-honoured methods of production and preparation, encouraging ethical treatment of animals and promoting environmentally sustainable methods. They now have 80,000 member restaurants in more than 100 countries.
