Salone del Gusto

I expected to see a bit more written about Salone del Gusto, Slow Food's biennial.  There was not as much blog coverage as I had expected (especially in English), nor was there much in the print media.  It is a shame because it looked like a great event that I would have loved to experience vicariously.  I had planned to go but life got in the way.

However, there is a piece in the Wall Street Journal today giving an overview of the event. It could be more detailed but there is interesting stuff about some of the appuntamenti a tavola - dinners organised with leading chefs.

Despite my acceptance of flying fish half way around the world for sushi, Slow Food has a philosophy I associate myself with  closely, especially when I'm doing the cooking.
