We are very excited to announce our affiliation with the Slow Food International Association . Slow Food has grown from a relatively small Italian movement – still with its headquarters in Carlo Petrini’s hometown of Bra – to an international phenomenon, with more than 100,000 members worldwide. The organisation grew out of a protest against the opening of a McDonalds in Rome! Eugenio first went and heard Carlo speak at the Sydney Food Festival back in 2009 and was inspired by the dedication of the movement in protecting traditional foods and agricultural diversity. A Tavola proudly hosted Slow Foods first ever Primavera event showcasing producers from the Northern Rivers area of NSW in September and it was a great success. Eugenio created a menu that showcased the very best of paddock to plate cooking. From Eugenios hand made pastas, to fresh, vibrant produce and the locally produced, organic proteins, the dinner embodied the diversity of local produce and the principles of the Slow Food movement. We look forward to working with more local producers and growers in the future.
