January Dinner-Scotch & Slow Food at Max London's

Save the date!
Thursday, January 14, 2010 is Slow Food Saratoga Region’s first event of the New Year
as we return to Max London’s Restaurant in Saratoga.

We will be presenting a special Tasting of Scotch and Irish Whiskeys to go along with Max London’s wonderful food. This event is a benefit for a new project being developed by SFSR.
Inspired by a Michael Pollan article, in which he decried the deteriorating tradition of true home cooking in this age of processed foods, the goal of our project is to teach basic cooking skills to people who do not have them and to use  good, clean & fair foods obtained from local Farmers Markets in the process. Our aim is to provide these  classes to the community at no charge. To do this we will need to raise funds and volunteers!

At the dinner, we will learn about the process of making Scotch, the differences in the regions and styles of Scotch as well as how to buy them (none will be sold – this is not a sales event). The Tasting will be led by Nigel Manley, a British-born resident of New Hampshire and expert on the peaty waters.

The cost of this event is $70 for members and $90 for non-members. Tickets are on sale now online at Brown Paper Tickets at  http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/92142

Members should use the discount code SFSR to obtain the member pricing.
Seating is limited to 50 people, so get your tickets early.

For those who would rather not participate in the whiskey tasting, as usual there will be a full spectrum of beverages available at an additional cost.

Since this is the first event we are using brown paper tickets to make reservations, we welcome your feedback on this system. If there are any questions please don’t hesitate to contact us.
