We are celebrating in Switzerland. Last week, we had our first-ever Slow Food market with the big man himself opening the show: Carlo Petrini, the founder, talking about the concept of retour à la nature, or return to nature, one of the basic concepts of Slow Food; “the Terra Madre network of food communities, defined by place of origin; as well as how that all meshes with the values of Swiss artisans and consumers,” says Kerrin Rousset of My Kugelhopf. “Slow Food unites the pleasure of food with responsibility, sustainability and harmony with nature.”
Click here to read the rest of Kerrin’s roundup, with a distinct emphasis on the sweets (of course).
