2023 Slow Food Fall Supper

Join Us
September 21st for Collaboration and Community

Slow Food Saskatoon/Saskatchewan is delighted to announce the reinstatement of our Fall Supper fundraiser. It will take place on September 21st, 2023, in collaboration with the 2023 Nourish Food for Health Symposium, which will be happening in Saskatoon on September 20th and 21st. The symposium, which explores how health professionals and leaders are reimagining food in health care to improve health equity, climate action, and patient healing, is supported by CHEP Good Food and shares many values with the Slow Food movement.

As a grassroots organization, Slow Food Saskatoon/Saskatchewan has been working on establishing collaborative partnerships with organizations that share its values with the goal of having the greatest impact on the food culture and food security in our city and province.

There will also be a silent auction of unique food products, books, and experiences available for bidding. Proceeds will go towards sending promising young local chefs, producers or academics to Terra Madre, Slow Food International’s biannual conference in Turin, Italy.

Slow Food Saskatoon has been hosting annual fundraising dinners for more than 10 years, and the planning committee has decided to feature some of our favourite recipes from past dinners at this event, including vegan and vegetarian options. The dinner will offer an appetizer course, soup course, a meat and vegetarian main with sides and salads, and dessert.

The event will take place at the beautiful Avenue Room event space at 119 3rd Avenue South, hosted by Fresh Dish Catering. Our planning team includes several chefs and caterers and each of them is adding their expertise to the various courses and dishes. The menu is still under discussion as we secure suppliers for the dinner – stay tuned for the menu announcement, coming soon! [We’re working on sourcing lamb to make the stuffed rolled lamb roast, photo at left, that was a hit at our 2019 Field to Shield dinner. Pumpkins from our friends at Black Fox Farm and Distillery have already been secured for a remake of pumpkin soup served in pumpkin shell tureens from our vegetarian fall supper from 2018.]
