Lets Cook and Share A Slow Meal

Lets Cook and Share A Slow Meal — April 2014 Multi-Event from Slow Food Russian River

The central idea: People come together to cook, eat a meal, and clean up. The meal is in the spirit and fits the mission of Slow Food. They document their meal is some way and share that with the general public. This inspires more people to host and participate in a Slow Meal.

So it’s not a potluck: meal preparation is done together, in the same space.

It’s not a family meal: there are guests.

It’s also not a dinner party: guest share the cooking with the host, the person who makes the invitation and provides the place where the cooking, eating and cleaning up is happening.

It’s also unlikely the kind of meal you can get in a restaurant, where logistics make it often impossible to both cook and eat a meal because of its complexity (similarly with an authetic rijsttafel I imagine as it was cooked in colonial Indonesia by native servants and eaten by the Dutch colonialists).

But the central idea leaves still many choices. It’s like games with different constraints set by the host.

We have already a good bunch of people signed up to host a dinner for this SFRR multi-event, but we cannot have too many hosts. And the number of guests is only limited by the number of hosts. Hosts should be knowledgable and supportive of good, clean, and fair food, for all.

So, Lets Cook and Share A Slow Meal!
