Want to get involved in Slow Food Boulder?
We need help!
We are always looking for members (and non-members) to hold food related events in the Boulder area. Want some ideas?
Slow Food Boulder ReadsIf you love reading novels where recipes tell part of the story; memoirs where the ingredients of life and favorite foods are carefully measured and combined and travelogues that bring the kitchens of the world into yours, you’re going to love Slow Food Reads!
Every other month Slow Food Reads will gather for just that – the meeting of culinary-inspired minds for discussion of food-centric books while we feast
from its pages. Please check the Calendar for information about upcoming Slow Reads. We hope to see you there!
These events bring small groups of our membership together to enjoy the pleasure of each others company in the intimacy of our homes, and to share in the preparation and joys of the table! Each Convivium a Casa will be put on the master calendar and members are to respond to the host. You decide on how many people you would like to invite, probably a small group allowing for a comfortable evening of conversation and fun...perhaps 6 to 10 people. You, as host, will decided upon the menu and plans for the evening. You may wish to enlist the help of those who will be attending your affair. Each evening will be completely subsidized by the attendees and the host. You decide how to share the costs, a potluck or percentage of shared total expenses. Please determine the costs in advance to allow members to know how much the event will cost. Guests are expected to share in the full costs of the event, there are no additional fees for the host.
The Options are Endless…
