Slow Food Russian River: Strawberry Feasts Forever

The Strawberry Season is fully here. Albions. Seascapes. Let's have a feast, in the Garden behind Palm Ave. 7403. Good, clean, and fair.

While arguably strawberries cannot be improved upon and are best straight from the plant our team of creative pastry chefs has put together strawberry treats - both sweet and savory - that will dazzle your eyes and delight your taste buds.

These are the tastings that Dominique Cortara, Rick Ferrari, and Susan Kralovec will be serving:

* Comparative tastings of different varietals of strawberries
* Appetizers with prosciutto, chutney and pepper/herb cheese, and strawberries**
* Pizza with goat cheese, pancetta, balsamic vinegar and strawberries**
* Duck skewers with strawberry balsamic glaze
* Strawberry Shortcake
* Strawberry Agua Fresca
* Strawberry Chutney - take-away gift

** Treats will also be available in a vegetarian version.

Wines will be for sale by the glass. Lemonade and cucumber water is served freely.

Bring your children and grandchildren. Games. Best Strawberry Inspired Hat. Make your own strawberry pastry.

We will get to know the different strawberry cultivars and where they are locally available, and about some unknown but desirable varieties that we would like to have back.

We will learn why strawberries are #2 on the list of dirty dozen of the Environmental Working Group - after apples - and should always be bought organic or beyond organic, and locally.

And we will be informed about working conditions in the strawberry industry.
