What is Slow Food?

If something is prepared from scratch, by hand, using traditional techniques, and enjoyed among friends, it is Slow Food.

Slow Food is also the name of an international movement founded in Italy to promote the benefits of making good food a part of everyday life. Nelly will tell you where and how this movement was born and why it spread all over the globe.

You will learn how to bring out the natural flavors of foods using local ingredients and traditional cooking methods: spelt flour fettuccine with mushroom sauce, savory herbed pudding, springtime frittatine, fish stew, pollo alla cacciatora, pine nut tart, fruit focaccia, and more.
