Slow Food is a non-profit, eco-gastronomic member-supported organization that was founded in 1989 to counteract fast food and fast life, the disappearance of local food traditions and people’s dwindling interest in the food they eat, where it comes from, how it tastes and how our food choices affect the rest of the world.Today, we have over 80,000 members all over the world. Find out more about us and what we do.


Our publications Since 1989, Slow Food’s publishing house, Slow Food Editore, has devoted itself to describing the philosophy of the movement. Its books and magazines spotlight quality food and wine production, educate consumers about artisan food specialties, crop varieties, animal breeds and food culture, and promote good, clean and fair food products.Go to Slow Food Editore



National Newsletters A true expression of Slow Food’s local identity, the quarterly national newsletters are the most direct means of communication for countries where Slow Food has a strong network of convivia. Members can contribute stories about regional foods, presidia projects, educational initiatives, convivium events and all other ‘slow’ happenings. In 2006, newsletters were produced for members in Argentina, Australia and New Zealand, Canada, France, Germany, Ireland, Mexico, the Netherlands, Switzerland, the UK and the USA.


Books Slow Food Editore currently boasts a catalogue of 70 titles, including restaurant and wine guides, food essays and memoirs, reprints of historical food classics and educational texts. While most of these publications are in Italian, several books are also available in English editions, and the renowned Osterie d’Italia guide will be published for the first time in English in 2006 in a volume that also includes Slow Food’s recommendations for Italy’s country inns.

FOOD DEFINED

Food is any substance, usually composed primarily of carbohydrates, fats, water and/or proteins, that can be eaten or drunk by an animal for nutrition or pleasure. It can be derived from plants, animals or other categories such as fungus or fermented products like alcohol. Although many human cultures sought food items through hunting and gathering, today most cultures use farming, ranching, and fishing, with hunting, foraging and other methods of a local nature included but playing a minor role.
Most traditions have a recognizable cuisine, a specific set of cooking traditions, preferences, and practices, the study of which is known as gastronomy. Many cultures have diversified their foods by means of preparation, cooking methods and manufacturing. This also includes a complex food trade which helps the cultures to economically survive by-way-of food, not just by consumption.
Many cultures study the dietary analysis of food habits. While humans are omnivores, religion and social constructs such as morality often affect which foods they will consume. Food safety is also a concern with foodborne illness claiming many lives each year. In many languages, food is often used metaphorically or figuratively, as in "food for thought".

Kitchen Hints By Paula Dean


Unless specifically instructed not to do so, always preheat your oven to the temperature required.
Always beat eggs before adding sugar.
Combine dry ingredients together when baking.
Add flour and milk to egg mixture alternately, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. This will make for a lighter cake, muffin or biscuit.
To eliminate the odor from Collard Greens being cooked, add one washed, unshelled pecan to the collards pot before turning the stove on.
To see if an egg is fresh, place the uncracked egg in a glass of water. If it sinks to the bottom, it is fresh. If it floats, throw it out!
To make fluffier scramble eggs, beat in a small amount of water, instead of milk.
When baking a double-crust pie, brush the top layer lightly with milk for a shiny crust; for a sweet crust, sprinkle with granulated sugar or a mixture of sugar and cinnamon; for a glazed crust brush lightly with a beaten egg. If you place the pie on a hot cookie sheet in the oven during preheating, it will ensure that the bottom crust will bake through.
You can always substitute 1 2/3 cups all-purpose flour for 2 cups cake flour.
For muffin tins, if you don’t have enough batter to fill all the cups, pour a little water in to the empty cups. This will prevent the pan from scorching.
To sanitize cutting boards and countertops, use a mixture of 1 tablespoon bleach to 1 gallon of water.
Don’t throw away stale bread, cut it into cubes and bake for croutons, or throw it in the food processor and make breadcrumbs.
When picking crabmeat free of bits of shell, spread the crabmeat in a thin layer on a baking sheet and place in a 350 degree oven for about 10 minutes. This will make it easier to see the bits of shell.
When making meringue, always have the egg whites at room temperature, and be sure they’re free of any yolk. Make sure the bowl and beaters are spotless and free of grease.
If soup is too salty, drop a raw, whole, peeled potato into the soup. Serve from around it.
To get more juice from a lemon, pop it in the microwave for 30 seconds on high power.
When boiling crab, shrimp, or any other shellfish, add 1 tablespoon of vinegar to the water. This helps to loosen the meat from the shell.
Store eggs tapered side down for a longer shelf life.
Soak chicken in 1 tablespoon of baking powder with enough water to cover the chicken. Soak for 10 to 15 minutes to discourage bacteria. Rinse chicken and cook thoroughly.
When sautéing, always heat your pan before putting in the fat. This will temper the pan and reduce sticking.
When deep-fat frying, try adding 1 tablespoon of vinegar to the fat before heating. This will keep the food from absorbing too much of the fat.
Add 1 tablespoon of vinegar to beef stews to tenderize the meat.
When cooking green vegetables, add 1 teaspoon of lemon juice to the pot to help retain their color.
Don’t salt fresh corn during cooking; salt will toughen it. Salt the corn to taste after cooking.
Add a little oil to pasta water to keep the water from boiling over and the pasta from sticking together.
