What to Eat: A Revolutionary Act, with Jessica Prentice

Kitchen Table Talks announces its second installment of its new conversation series about the American food system. What to Eat: A Revolutionary Act led by local food activist and author Jessica Prentice, will be held on Tuesday, June 23 from 6:30 – 8:00 p.m. at the architecture offices of Sagan-Piechota in San Francisco. Prentice, a professional chef, is the co-creator of the Local Foods Wheel and coined the term “locavore,” which was named the 2007 New Oxford American Dictionary Word of the Year. Most recently, she joined four business partners in founding Three Stone Hearth, a Community-Supported Kitchen in Berkeley that uses local, sustainable ingredients to prepare nutrient-dense, traditional foods on a community scale.

In conjunction, Kitchen Table Talks will show a clip from Edible City, a feature-length documentary about the Bay Area food movement which focus on the stories of farmers, cooks, activists and educators who are helping to grow a local revolution around food. Prentice is featured in the film.

Kitchen Table Talks is a joint venture of Civil Eats and 18 Reasons, a non-for-profit which promotes conversation between its San Francisco Mission neighborhood and people who feed us. It is hosted by Sagan-Piechota which created Linden Tree in this same space. The purpose of Kitchen Table Talks is to build a coalition of stakeholders from all segments of society who come together to develop relationships, exchange knowledge and ideas and leave with specific actions they can implement to make meaningful improvements in our food system.  At each meeting, participants are introduced to a different non-profit organization that focuses on one facet of the sustainable food system. The presentation is followed by an open forum, allowing guests to ask the presenter questions and discuss recent food news, pending legislation and opportunities to get active in the sustainable food community.
