Terra Madre Day
December 10th 2009
Celebrate Slow Food’s 20th Birthday.
This will be a free member’ only (with one guest) celebration event.
We will take the opportunity to discuss what you want your Slow Food convivium to be. What events would you like to organize and participate in next year? Bring your ideas!
The format will be a cocktail from 5:30 to 7:30 at our member Sylvie Malboeuf’s place near River Side and Hunt Club (you will get exact direction after registration).
Sylvain and Peggy will be preparing light tidbits. You can expect:
- Borscht on a stick.
- Kohlrabi shots.
- Méchoui Memory Mushrooms.
- Lamb balls… no not those balls…
- Chicken tarragon bites
- Sylvain’s Pouding Chômeur
We ask you to bring wine, beer or drink to share with friends. In keeping with Slow Food, think of local products and traditions to keep alive!

I became a connector.
How to switch to local, seasonal, and sustainable quality goods, one purchase at a time.
I love food, good food, the kind that doesn’t have any packaging to tell you so. Upon becoming Leader of the Slow Food Ottawa Gatineau Convivia I became even more aware of how hard it is to find local quality products in our area. “Where do you get your ….. locally?” Requests for everything from purple asparagus seeds to a goat made me realize that many more people were getting concerned about where their food came from and how well it was cared for on its (hopefully) short journey!
I became a connector.
I hope to share the knowledge I gained on the journey so far.
I made changes to my life, one at a time on the way, and each time I felt better. It is sort of like paying your health forward don’t you think?
Slow Food is good+clean+fair
We believe that the food we eat should taste good,
be produced in a clean way that does not harm the environment, animal welfare, or human health,
and that it’s producers should receive fair remuneration for their work
