Eugenia Bone - 'The Kitchen Ecosystem'

Saturday, August 22, 2015 - 4:00 pm 

Please join us for a special event with Eugenia Bone, a nationally known food journalist and author. Eugenia Bone's informative presentation "It's Not Food Waste, It's Wasted Food" shares her common sense approach to eating seasonally, locally, healthfully, and economically. Eugenia will share recipes from her fifth book, The Kitchen Ecosystem, and will demonstrate how to transform food scraps from one meal into a flavorful component of the next meal.

About The Kitchen Ecosystem: The Kitchen Ecosystem will change how we think about food and cooking. The trick is to approach cooking as a continuum, where each meal draws on elements from a previous one and provides the building blocks for another. That synchronicity is a kitchen ecosystem. For the farmers market regular as well as a bulk shopper, for everyday home cooks and aspirational ones, a kitchen ecosystem starts with cooking the freshest in-season ingredients available, preserving some to use in future recipes, and harnessing leftover components for other dishes.

Delicious food is not only a matter exceptional recipes--although there are an abundance of those here. Rather, it is a matter of approaching the kitchen as a system of connected foods. The Kitchen Ecosystem changes the paradigm of how we cook, and in doing so, it may change everything about the way we eat today.
