San Francisco, CA (August 13, 2008)—Slow Food Nation today announced the line-up for the Green Kitchen, to be held on Saturday, August 30 and Sunday, August 31, during the Labor Day weekend, in San Francisco. The Green Kitchen is an integral component of the Taste Pavilions, Slow Food Nation’s grand celebration of food in America, being held in the Festival Pavilion of Fort Mason Center. Tickets to the Taste Pavilions are on sale now at slowfoodnation.org.
Acclaimed chefs from around the world will demonstrate the preparation of simple, artful, sustainable food for the daily dinner table. A mortar and pestle, a frying pan, a cutting board, a knife and a few farm fresh ingredients–a green kitchen is all about basic tools and simple ingredients. The Green Kitchen is presented by Anolon, the lead kitchen partner of Slow Food Nation.
An unprecedented event, Slow Food Nation will bring together tens of thousands to experience an extraordinary range of activities highlighting the connection between plate and planet. The Taste Pavilions present an exceptional opportunity to sample the diversity of regional foods of America. Sample menus of the Green Kitchen will include watermelon granita, tomato and tofu salad, white soda bread and raspberry jam, sweet coconut-ginger creamed corn and a seafood rice cazuela.
