Dear Slow Fooders
This is an update on the planned events for May and June.
As many of you may be aware Donna Le Marrec and John Garton have organized the Jersey Food Festival from 14 to 22 May. This looks like a fantastic week with many events that embrace so much of what we believe in.
Lots of trips to visit various sites and some delicious food to be sampled. Taste the passion.

Please visit the website for full details:
In June we have 2 events planned:
Fungi Delecti has become known as the best wholesaler of quality produce on the island. They supply all the top restaurants and hotels, sourcing produce from all over the world. They also grow Shii-Take mushrooms and many fresh salads and herbs, as well as producing the tastiest eggs on the island.
To avoid having too many people to enjoy this visit Jamie is happy for us to split into 2 visits – Thursday 9th and Thursday 16th June at 6.30pm.
If you would like to come then please let us know which date you would prefer and then we can try to ensure even numbers over the 2 evenings. Fungi Delecti is at Les Platons in Trinity. By visiting in mid-June the fresh produce should be at its peak.
There is no charge for this event but please inform us if you are coming.
An evening with Cyrus Todiwala - Indian Chef extraordinaire
Monday 20th June – Highlands College – 7.30pm to 9.30pm
This is planned as the highlight/show piece of our Slow Food year. Cyrus is a renowned Indian chef and he is coming specially to Jersey for this Slow Food event. Cyrus is passionate about local food and so he will be sourcing local produce for his demonstration, and will be taking us on a tour of Indian spices. (This is purely a demonstration and so no food will be served, but there will be small tastings).
This is for Slow Food members only. There will be a charge for this event to contribute to costs – more details to follow (we haven’t done our sums yet!). Numbers will be limited.
We would be grateful if you could email us to let us know if you are interested in either of these events as soon as you can.
Please do try to attend some of the Food Festival events.
See you all soon.
The Slow Food Committee
