Foodie extraordinaire and Altadena Urban Farmer's Marketeer Joseph Shuldiner (whom you've read about here recently) is preparing a locavore gourmet event to launch his new project, The Institute of Domestic Technology.
The Institute's mission is "reignite the passion of how we make food, the ingredients we source and the farms on which they originate ... Through classes, workshops, tours and events the Institute will be a resource to discover lost arts, invent new ones and explore the domestic technologies you already know even further."
The Institute's inaugural event will be an "Urban Farmers' Dinner." Shuldiner writes that the dinner will be "sourced completely from ingredients foraged from the city's backyard farmers, many from Altadena. It will be on Saturday, August 6, (6 PM) on a secret Downtown L.A. loft rooftop."
For this event, I've partnered with Chef Nick Coe (Black Cat Bakery) who has come up with an amazing menu and will man the burners. As a co-organizer of the Altadena Urban Farmers' Market, this is a natural outgrowth of an amazing backyard farm movement happening right under our noses!
