‘Slow’ Dinner & Film Event at Grano, November 18

Kato — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 12:38:22 +0000

A groundbreaking photographic journey into the heart of an Italian town steeped in culinary tradition that is a tribute to the slow food movement and the everyday pleasures of food.

Slow: Life in a Tuscan Town
Photographs and text by Douglas Gayeton
Introduction by Alice Waters and preface by Carlo Petrini

Grano – one of my favourite restaurants – has been asked to participate in a continent-wide launch of this ‘moving book’ which has been dubbed a ‘flat film’. I’m selecting the wines for the dinner.

Wednesday November 18 @ 7 pm

To reflect the origins of the author’s Italian nonna from the town of Camposanto, provincia di Modena, Lucia Ruggiero-Martella has created a multi-course menu inspired by Toscana. Lucia will use fresh Ontario and uniquely Italian ingredients (Frescobaldi Laudemio extra vergine olio d’oliva, parmigiano reggiano, aceto balsamico tradizionale di Modena (‘real balsamic vinegar’).
