Fall Maine Restaurant Week
Maine Restaurant Week has expanded their calendar to include a Fall series which will take place October 24-31. The standard MRW in the Spring is scheduled March 1-12, 2011.
At both the Fall and Spring series, participating restaurants will offer 3-course dinners for $20, $30, or $40, and some are planning $15 lunches. Menus and a list of participating restaurants will be published in October on www.mainerestaurantweek.com.
Twilight Dinners
Tuesday’s Locavore column in the Portland Daily Sun was about the work done by Cultivating Community and the biweekly Twilight Dinners they run throughout the Summer at their farm in Cape Elizabeth.
For the fourth year running, area chefs will display their locavore prowess by preparing dishes using produce grown, meat raised and fish landed within 20 miles of the farm. No chocolate. No olive oil. Yes delicious.
Eating outdoors is rare these days but for most of history and throughout much of the world beyond these shores, it has been the norm.

In this era when the average home cook has been whipped into a Food Network frenzy, kitchen tours have become a popular way for nonprofits to raise money.

a reminder that Anna Lappe, author of Diet for a Hot Planet: The Climate Crisis at the End of Your Fork and What You Can Do About It will be at Longfellow Books tonight at 7 pm for a reading and book signing,
