Local Foods Fundraiser, "Cultivating Food and Art" at Wild Goose

"Cultivating Food and Art" was a fantastic event at the Wild Goose this weekend. Local Matters Food Educators, Jesse Hickman and Amanda Seaton facilitated a workshop titled, "Food is Art." We had so much fun. Children and their parents had large platters of beautiful fruits and vegetables to create their own edible sculptures. Can you guess what we did with the sculptures after we created them? You've got it! Art never tasted so good! Everyone was so creative too....stay tuned for some of those photos.

Chef Jeremy Gedhert created some delicious foods, vegetable spring rolls, roasted squash soup, bread salad, asian slaw, local sausage & vegetable shish-kabobs, bruschetta and roasted squash/broccoli platter. It was a nice display of colors, showcasing the beauty of food.

Several of my photos were on display. It was challenging to choose the photos. In the end I decided to stay close to the theme and focus on vivid images of food and people connected with that beauty. The image here of the bouquet of carrots was from the Urban Farmers Market and is one of my favorites.

Food IS art.
