"A weekly highlight for the FareStart community is Thursday Guest Chef Night, held at the FareStart Restaurant at 7th & Virginia. For FareStart students, it is a unique opportunity to work with Seattle's premier chefs. For FareStart supporters, it's a great opportunity to enjoy an excellent meal, introduce new supporters to the organization, or volunteer. Since 1994, Guest Chef Night has raised morethan $1.5 million, revenue which has gone directly back into our program, to support our student job training and placement services.
Every Thursday night, a different Guest Chef works with the students to prepare a three-course meal for over 200 guests served at the FareStart Restaurant. Guest Chef Night has been called 'Seattle's best food lover?s event' and for just $24.95 it's one of the city?s best values as well. Hard-working community volunteers serve the guests who enjoy great food in support of FareStartand our students - 100% of the proceeds and gratuities from Guest Chef Night go back into the program and fund student services and training.
Guest Chef Night is open to the public and reservations are strongly suggested. For last minute requests, call 206-267-7601 to check for availability."

Jill Richardson will talk about the issues explored in her book Recipe for America: Why Our Food System is Broken and What We Can Do to Fix It. America?s food system is dominated by agribusiness and corporate farms, whose destructive practices pollute the environment, are cruel to animals, and offer us unhealthy food choices. In Recipe for America, food activist Jill Richardson shows how sustainable agriculture?where local farms raise food that is healthy for consumers and animals and does not damage the environment?offers the only solution to America?s food crisis. In addition to highlighting the harmful conditions at factory farms, this timely and necessary book details the rising grassroots food movement, which is creating an agricultural system that allows people to eat sustainably, locally, and seasonally.
Jill Richardson blogs about food issues at both Daily Kos and on her own blog La Vida Locavore. She is a member of the policy advisory board of the Organic Consumers Association and a Commonweal Institute fellow. Recipe for America is her first book. End time approximate.

This was the genesis of Bread for the World (www.bread.org), a Christian lobbying organization devoted to areas of public policy on hunger issues in the US and abroad, and the basis of the story told in his book,The Rising of Bread for the World: An Outcry of Citizens Against Hunger (Paulist Press). "You will enjoy the first half of the book for its personal reflections and its introduction to church leaders of other denominations who have dreamed and worked as we have. The heart of the story is in the second half with its candid assessments of how hard it is to move both citizens and public officials to put our resources to work for the poor. My thinking has been challenged. Yours may be, too." - Karl Boemke. Internationally-recognized (and locally-based) travel writer and activist Rick Steves willintroduce Rev. Simon here this evening, and participate in the conversation. In addition to his many insightful travel guides, he is recently the author of Travel as a Political Act (Nation Books).

The latter role, following years of covering the political rumble
, marked the first time he wrote about food. "Outgoing New York Times restaurant critic Bruni admits he was even a baby bulimic in his extraordinary memoir about a lifelong battle with weight problems ... Through adolescence
, puberty, and into college, Bruni oscillated from gluttonous binges to adult bulimia ... While Bruni includes such entertaining bits as the campaign trail seen through a Weight Watchers lens, and ample meals from his years as the Times restaurant critic, in the end, his is a powerful, honestbook about desire, shame, identity, and self-image." - Publishers Weekly.

Where: Pan Pacific Hotel
2125 Terry Avenue, Seattle, 98121
Frank Bruni was born round: stout, chubby, and hungry. He grew up in a big, loud Italian family in White Plains, New York, where meals were epic affairs and where he learned one of his foremost qualifications for his future career: an outsize love of food.
When Bruni was named the restaurant critic for The New York Times in 2004, he knew enough to be nervous?it is one of the most closely watched tasks in the food world?and he had spent his career covering politics, political campaigns and the Pope. Yes, he was the Time?s Rome Bureau chief and was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize, but did his love affair with food qualify him to be one of the most loved and/or hated tastemakers in the food world? His memoir Born Round: The Secret History of a Full-Time Eater traces his unusual path to becoming a restaurant critic, and is abrutally honest, sometimes funny, often painful tale of his complex and lifelong struggle with food.

Chef John Sundstrom will join Langon a foraging adventure, and then create a multi-course dinner out of what they gather! As detailed in Cooks new book 'The Fat of the Land: Adventures of a 21st Century Forager', foraging is not a throwback to our hunter-gatherer past, but a way to reconnect with the landscape and appreciate the bounties of the earth and water around us.
After leaving his role as a senior book editor at Amazon.com in 2004, Lang decided to pursue lifeoff the grid in a cabin with his wife and son, and has since become a master forager. Whether he is free-diving in the icy Puget Sound in hopes of spearing a snaggletooth lingcod, or tempting fate by eating questionable mushrooms, he finds adventure--and great meals--in every attempt.
Join us for an unforgettable evening; all courses, wine pairings, tax, gratuity, and a copy of 'The Fat of the Land', are factored into the all-inclusive price of $120/per person.

Troma brings you it's newest Tromtastic movie Poultrygeist: Night of the Chicken Dead. When well-meaning but somewhat dim Arbie (Jason Yachanin) returns to thespot of his first (and only) romantic encounter with his high school sweetheart-- the not-so-romantic Ancient Tromahawk Tribe Indian Burial Ground-- he is shocked to discover two horrible realities: Not only has the graveyard been bulldozed to make room for the newest fast-food ?American Chicken Bunker? chain restaurant, but after only one semester at college, his girlfriend Wendy (Kate Graham) has been transformed into a left-wing, lipstick-lesbian liberal, and spends her free time protesting the corporate takeover of America. Reeling from heartbreak and a brutal beating from Micki (Allyson Sereboff), Wendy?s new activist girlfriend, Arbie channels his spite into applying for a job at the very restaurant they are protesting against.But something else is feeling wronged by all of the construction and commotion... Something not human... Meanwhile, newly employed Arbie?s coworkersare a colorful group: the sassy manager Denny (Joshua Olatunde); the burqa-clad Muslim, Humus (Rose Ghavami); the animal-loving yokel Carl Jr. (Caleb Emerson); the effete Mexican spitfire Paco Bell (Khalid Rivera); and a mysterious 60- year-old man who has been working in fast-food all his life (Lloyd Kaufman). Together, they slowly uncover the supernatural secret of the American Chicken Bunker, while the owner General Lee Roy (Robin L. Watkins) tries to keep a lid on the scandal, lest it taint his growing empire. But once workers and customers start dying in bizarre and grotesque ways, it becomes clear that this isn?t just a mild case of salmonella ... butsomething much more FOWL. Will Arbie and his friends stop the demons before they infect all the artificial foodstuffs, the customers, and the worldbeyond? Will Arbie be able to win Wendy back now that he?s making minimum wage? What?s Carl Jr. doing with that frozen chicken? And what?s with all the singing and dancing?

Troma brings you it's newest Tromtastic movie Poultrygeist: Night of the Chicken Dead. When well-meaning but somewhat dim Arbie (Jason Yachanin) returns to thespot of his first (and only) romantic encounter with his high school sweetheart-- the not-so-romantic Ancient Tromahawk Tribe Indian Burial Ground-- he is shocked to discover two horrible realities: Not only has the graveyard been bulldozed to make room for the newest fast-food ?American Chicken Bunker? chain restaurant, but after only one semester at college, his girlfriend Wendy (Kate Graham) has been transformed into a left-wing, lipstick-lesbian liberal, and spends her free time protesting the corporate takeover of America. Reeling from heartbreak and a brutal beating from Micki (Allyson Sereboff), Wendy?s new activist girlfriend, Arbie channels his spite into applying for a job at the very restaurant they are protesting against.But something else is feeling wronged by all of the construction and commotion... Something not human... Meanwhile, newly employed Arbie?s coworkersare a colorful group: the sassy manager Denny (Joshua Olatunde); the burqa-clad Muslim, Humus (Rose Ghavami); the animal-loving yokel Carl Jr. (Caleb Emerson); the effete Mexican spitfire Paco Bell (Khalid Rivera); and a mysterious 60- year-old man who has been working in fast-food all his life (Lloyd Kaufman). Together, they slowly uncover the supernatural secret of the American Chicken Bunker, while the owner General Lee Roy (Robin L. Watkins) tries to keep a lid on the scandal, lest it taint his growing empire. But once workers and customers start dying in bizarre and grotesque ways, it becomes clear that this isn?t just a mild case of salmonella ... butsomething much more FOWL. Will Arbie and his friends stop the demons before they infect all the artificial foodstuffs, the customers, and the worldbeyond? Will Arbie be able to win Wendy back now that he?s making minimum wage? What?s Carl Jr. doing with that frozen chicken? And what?s with all the singing and dancing?

When well-meaning but somewhat dim Arbie (Jason Yachanin) returns to thespot of his first (and only) romantic encounter with his high school sweetheart-- the not-so-romantic Ancient Tromahawk Tribe Indian Burial Ground-- he is shocked to discover two horrible realities: Not only has the graveyard been bulldozed to make room for the newest fast-food ?American Chicken Bunker? chain restaurant, but after only one semester at college, his girlfriend Wendy (Kate Graham) has been transformed into a left-wing, lipstick-lesbian liberal, and spends her free time protesting the corporate takeover of America. Reeling from heartbreak and a brutal beating from Micki (Allyson Sereboff), Wendy?s new activist girlfriend, Arbie channels his spite into applying for a job at the very restaurant they are protesting against.But something else is feeling wronged by all of the construction and commotion... Something not human... Meanwhile, newly employed Arbie?s coworkersare a colorful group: the sassy manager Denny (Joshua Olatunde); the burqa-clad Muslim, Humus (Rose Ghavami); the animal-loving yokel Carl Jr. (Caleb Emerson); the effete Mexican spitfire Paco Bell (Khalid Rivera); and a mysterious 60- year-old man who has been working in fast-food all his life (Lloyd Kaufman). Together, they slowly uncover the supernatural secret of the American Chicken Bunker, while the owner General Lee Roy (Robin L. Watkins) tries to keep a lid on the scandal, lest it taint his growing empire. But once workers and customers start dying in bizarre and grotesque ways, it becomes clear that this isn?t just a mild case of salmonella ... butsomething much more FOWL. Will Arbie and his friends stop the demons before they infect all the artificial foodstuffs, the customers, and the worldbeyond? Will Arbie be able to win Wendy back now that he?s making minimum wage? What?s Carl Jr. doing with that frozen chicken? And what?s with all the singing and dancing?

Hazan published his first book in 1993-- The Classic Pasta Cookbook--and it is stillan international bestseller, translated into 12 languages and with more than 500,000 copies in print. He then introduced 'Every Night Italian', which won "the best Italian Cookbook in the English Language" World Cookbookaward. His next book, 'How to Cook Italian', taught home cooks the techniques of authentic Italian cuisine. Hazan is the son of famed cooking teacher Marcella Hazan, and today runs his own cooking school outside of Verona, Italy. Understanding that many people have a short time to put dinneron the table, Hazan has now written 'Thirty Minute Pasta: 100 Quick and Easy Recipes' so everyone can put an authentic, delicious and healthy Italian meal on the table every night.
Serafina owner Susan Kauffman and executive chef Dylan Giordan will create their own version of Hazan's classic pasta dishes for our evening with Giuliano; all courses, wines, tax and gratuity, and a copy of the new book are included in the all-inclusive $150/per person price.

That fascination took ominous turns, however. "A courageous account of what it is like to exist with a life-threatening eating disorder from two different standpoints?Lisa, the daughter who stops eating, and her mother, Sheila, a restaurant critic. The irony of this situation is lost on neither, and both are unsentimental and deeply honest about their experience. ... This book should comfort anyone confronted with this illness as well as provide much practical help for dealing with it." - Marion Nestle.

THE RICHES OF SUMMER SET ASIDE TO BE ENJOYED IN OTHER SEASONS
Preserving isan art worth saving. The old practices of ?putting up? summer produce for winter eating was originally born of necessity. But today we do it to maintain a wonderful heritage and to take advantage of the summer seasonal bounty at its very best. Although modern conveniences provide year-round fresh food, preserving is still a pleasurable cook?s art that lets you enjoy summer flavors in the midst of winter. Chef Hope Sandler will provide an introduction to home canning using the water bath method. She will demonstrate the proper techniques for canning peaches and tomatoes; making fresh berry jams; and preparing succulent, mouth- puckering pickles. Enjoy it now! Enjoy it later!

Ever pass by a restaurant and wonder about the story behind the cuisine? Well, now you can have a guided tour! Come enjoy the art of eating and cooking in community with NuCulinary. Our unique Dine, Learn and Cook Restaurant Series is a two-class series. For the first experience, we eat together at one of Naomi?s favorite Asian restaurants and thenwe meet at NuCulinary?s new Seattle kitchen location to learn from the chef how to prepare the delicious dishes from the week before.
Join Naomi at Julia?s Indonesian Kitchen in the Green Lake neighborhood. One of just two restaurants in the area serving authentic Indonesian cuisine, an amalgamation of influences from the Dutch settlers, Arab traders, local Malay communities, and Chinese immigrants. Our dinner together features an adaptation of a very traditional and sumptuous feast, Rijstafel, which began as part of the affluent Dutch supper offerings during colonial times. It features a generous portion of fluffy steamed jasmine rice surrounded by numerous dishes, up to 40 at some banquets! At Julia?s, you?ll savor six dishes, two meat, two vegetable, a soup and an egg dish. We will create this unique experience at Julia?s Indonesian Kitchen, plus taste several of Julia?s other specialties. I promise, you will enjoy each bite!
The following week, Chef/Owners Julia Suparman and Yusi Sasmitra will join us in our Seattle kitchen to demonstrate their special cooking techniques and show you how to make these dishes in your own kitchen. You will be tasting this beautiful and delicious cuisine, not once but twice in one week! http://juliasindokitchen.com
