I am excited to announce that photographer Douglas Gayeton is joining us at our Mozza Scuola di Pizza Charity dinner on the 1st October. As we learn how to make pizza with Nancy Silverton, learn about the wine we are drinking from Joe Bastianich and learn more about the Garden School Foundation from Nancy Goslee Power we will also learn more about what Slow Food really means in a tiny town in Italy from Douglas Gayeton.
This event is totally sold out - thank you to everyone for purchasing tickets. If you would like to purchase Douglas Gayeton's SLOW: Life in a Tuscan Town ($50) and have him sign it with a dedication on October 1st please send an email to me at lucy@edibleLA.com and I will make it happen.
With a preface by Carlo Petrini (the founder of Slow Food) and an introduction by Alice Waters need I say more? This book is not only beautiful to look at it's an inspiration to us all where ever we choose to live and what ever we choose to eat.  This truly is edible food for thought.

Over lunch at Ammo the other day the topic of Alice Waters and her wonderful edible education and Schoolyard Garden came up and I was happy to be able to share information about our very own local schoolyard garden here in Los Angeles. I think of Nancy Goslee Power, the powerhouse at the head of the Garden School Foundation, as our very own local Alice Waters. (You can see her in the garden in the video posted above.)  Pourtal Wine Bar was looking for a cause to support for their Angel Shares Happy Hour in July and I was happy to be able to make the introduction - edible LA community building at its best. The pairing of wine (I'll be drinking something local and biodynamic), a local wine bar, a local schoolyard garden and a way to get the word out there about the children who benefit from this wonderful venture is what I love about my job.
