\"Watermelon<\/a>

Watermelon and Cucumber Salad with Feta Cheese<\/p><\/div>\n

When I drove to Bommer Canyon in Irvine last Saturday<\/a> to interview Chef Ryan Adams of Sorrento Grille<\/a>, prior to the Slow Foods 2nd Annual Bommer Canyon BBQ, I did it because I was curious about the Slow Food organization whose principles mesh perfectly with what I advocate here: \u00a0cooking at home and sharing meals with family and friends to connect in an increasingly hectic world. \u00a0To slow down and actually connect with like-minded folks who consider good eating one of the important pleasures in life. Pretty simple, right? Well, I had no idea what an exhilarating evening of fine food, marvelous music, and wonderful people I would encounter in this pastoral oasis in the midst of bustling Orange County.<\/p>\n

If you actively participate in, agree with, or try to do any of the following actions, then you’re a Slow Foodie, too!<\/p>\n
