The Indigenous Gourmet is dedicated to the exploration, and preservation of traditional foods, dishes and ingredients, as well as traditional methods of preparation, with a special emphasis on local, regional and seasonal ingredients, natural and organic whenever possible, with the least amount of healthy processing to enjoy fresh now and to preserve the harvest into the future.
Since Childhood we have all
heard "You are what you eat", but it is also true that you are who you
eat (my apologies to cannibals everywhere). Or perhaps that should be "Who you are is what you eat"
.What I mean to say is that the food we eat is inseparably intertwined
with our identity. Who we are and who our ancestors were, our
interests, our desires, all that we are is reflected in the way we
prepare given ingredients into the dishes we eat.
Rising food prices and health concerns, every meal time or snack time we are confronted with choices. How does what we eat affect us from a financial stand point? Can we afford to eat as we would like? Everyone wants to be healthier. What if we could eat the way our grandparents did? Would we be healthier? These questions and more are discussed and examined in our Simple Pleasures Classes.
Learn to make bread or how to shop at your local Farmer's Market. Learn what to do with all the cheap seasonal produce, and how not to pay premium prices for out of season food shipped in from distant places where the growers don't know you or care about your health.
Our classes are small and intimate, and so they fill up fast. Check back here often for the latest schedule.
