An Edible Evening with Deborah Madison

SANTA CRUZ — HGP's first event of Sustain in Place: A series of at-home tastings, October 24 (6:30 – 7:30 pm), begins with a keynote video presentation from Deborah Madison. A pioneer in the farm to table movement, Deborah will share some secrets to the art of bringing out the best in farm-fresh produce, by leading us through making some of her favorite salad dressings.

Guests will also have the chance to come to the Farm to harvest your own salad greens, vegetables and herbs along with an accompanying gift bag featuring a bottle of wine and fresh, delicious, gourmet pasta from La Posta restaurant, in a reusable tote bag.

Beyond Deborah Madison’s reputation as the groundbreaking chef from Greens in San Francisco, she is an acclaimed food writer and cooking teacher. She is an expert on vegetarian cooking and her gourmet repertoire showcases fresh garden produce. Her work also highlights Slow Food, local foods and farmers' markets.

Deborah also has an exciting new memoir coming out soon. From her childhood in Big Ag Northern California to working in the kitchen of the then-new Chez Panisse, and from the birth of food TV to the age of green markets everywhere, An Onion in My Pocket is as much the story of the evolution of American foodways as it is the memoir of the woman at the forefront. It is a deeply personal look at the rise of vegetable-forward cooking, and a manifesto for how to eat well.

The book will be released in mid November and you can pre order your copy from HGP's store by selecting it as an add-on to your ticket for this event.

Guests will be able to pick up bags from the HGP Farm anytime from 12pm to 6pm on Saturday October 24th. The presentation will be online and be premiered at 6:30pm at a link sent exclusively to attendees. See the full set of ticket options at bit.ly/Deborah4HGP
