Upcoming Events

We have lined up some great events for the next few months - an email for the next event went already to our mailing list (if you haven't received an email yet, let me know and we will add you to the mailing list). As always, places are limited and booking is essential (ccslowfood@gmail.com):

25th September - Wine Tasting at The Wine Buff

Barry Achson is welcoming us to his wine shop in 4 Washington Street for a lovely wine tasting. Barry will select some interesting wines for us and we will enjoy some cold meats, homemade breads etc. You all will be handed a printout of the wines so that you can make notes to take home - and to use as reference for your next shopping trip to the Wine Buff :-) The event will kick of at 7:30pm. We are looking forward seeing you at the event. Price for members is €15, non members €20 (it pays to be a member - click here to join Slow Food).

11th October - Mushroom Hunting

We are delighted that Seamus O'Connell of Ivory Tower has agreed to take us on a mushroom hunt. Seamus is foraging himself for quite some time and we will be able to learn about mushrooms, how to spot them and most importantly which one to eat. Seamus will also prepare a lovely meal for us with the 'treasures' we collected. We are still organising some details for this event, so watch this space for updates. Caz will of course send an email closer to the time.

6th November - Slow Film Night

And again, the Film Festival Cork has arranged for a Slow Film Event and we can't wait. We are still negotiating the location and food served so keep this day free in your diary. Email will be send out very soon - make sure you book your place as this event is normally very quickly booked out.

19th November - Thanksgiving Dinner

Okay, we need your help here. Caz and myself have been approach at the Gort Na Nain event if we could organise a Thanksgiving event. Slow Food has been approached by the Cornstore and we came up with the idea of a Thanksgiving dinner. Can you please - either by comment on this blog or via email to Caz ccslowfood@gmail.com - if you are interested in attending a Thanksgiving Dinner? We would need to know quite quickly as to confirm to the restaurant if we are going ahead or not.

11th December - Christmas Cheer

Christmas is normally a stressful time for most people so we thought, we try to bring some 'soft joy' to our members. Peter Foyne from the Butter Museum is opening its doors for us. He will show us around the museum and tell us all about the history of the butter trade in Cork, with a bit of luck we might be able to make our own butter (depends on a lot of factors). After the tour we will sit around a Christmas tree to enjoy some homemade mincepies and mulled wine. I am trying to get a musician to play some carols for us (or with us :-) . More information to follow.

The above events are meant as 'Save the Day' - bookings can always be made when the official invite goes out by Caz. Looking forward to see you all at one of these events. Please drop us a comment or email if you have any suggestion for upcoming events, news etc. We always love hearing from you.
