SLOW FOOD CORNWALL WORLD OF TASTE DINNER

The mission of the Slow Food Foundation for Biodiversity is to organize and fund projects that defend our world’s heritage of agricultural biodiversity and gastronomic traditions.

To develop this work in the UK , and reflecting the growth of the movement in this country, Slow Food is opening a dedicated UK National office to which the funds raised from the World of Taste Dinner will contribute.

The Slow Food Cornwall World of Taste Dinner was the last of 20 such events around the UK, all of which have featured products from the Foundation’s ‘Ark of Taste’ and the Slow Food Presidia.

THANK YOU

We are most grateful for the main event sponsors without whose generosity and hard work, in particular Paul Drye at St Austell Brewery and Lauren Menzies at the Eden Project, this dinner would not have been possible.

Our special thanks goes to:



St Austell Brewery - who provided us with chefs and ingredients as well as the award winning Catering Development Manager, Paul Drye and his team.



Eden Project - who provided us with a spectacular and fitting location, with  special thanks to Tim Smit, Gaynor Coley, Dr Jo Readman, Dr Andrew Ormerod and Lauren Menzies and her team.
