Spatula Diaries: Slow Food Baton Rouge to host live webcast of “Changing the Way We Eat” forum

“The last couple of years in Baton Rouge, we’ve seen a growing level of interest in how to improve our local food systems,” writes 225 blogger Maggie Heyn Richardson. “More chefs are buying local, farmers market numbers continue to climb, school gardens are up and there is palpable enthusiasm for new culinary trends. On Saturday, Feb. 16, Slow Food Baton Rouge will host a live webcast of TEDx Manhattan’s annual food forum, ‘Changing the Way We Eat.’ The third annual webcast convenes farmers, chefs and food entrepreneurs from around the country to explore the state of the American food system and our progress toward greater sustainability.” Find out more about this unique event in this week’s Spatula Diaries by clicking here.
