Eat Real Fest '09

I for one am very excited about the Eat Real Fest, coming to a place near me (yeah!!) in August. The 28-30th to be exact.

According to the site, there will be a canning exchange, a butchery contest andf some foraging going down. Homebrewers, cupcakes and street food will be playing starring roles.

Oakland really needs this type of event. It will help showcase all the elements that make eating fresh food pleasurable. As I have been learning more about food justice and also forbidden foods, my view of food is taking new turns.

Eat Real and its compatriets are challenging food sterotypes, introducing a whole new crop of people to the fresh, the new, real food. This is an amazing opportunity for Oakland to join together & learn something beneficial for the entire community!

Bryant Terry: Vegan Soul Kitchen

My interview with Bryant Terry was really quite fun. He is interesting, enthusiastic, and refreshing.

From being a chef to a food justice activist, his desire to make food more than just sustainable is eveident from the word go. He uses cooking as a way to engage young people and teach them how to lessen their impact on the environment.

This is a chef who wants more people to eat delicious food, and how to make a great meal.

Chef Bryant is actively & effectively challenging food streotypes, working to bring fresh, healthy food to those who would not otherwise encounter it. In the interview he shares with us what inspired him to become a chef, why he wrote Vegan Soul Kitchen and more!

Listen to the interview June 6 & 7 @ 7 p.m. EST!
