The Food Film Festival: Celebrating documentary food films showcasing farm to table sensibility.
It's Sunday morning, 8:45 a.m., the alarm bells weave their way into my dreaming state. Slowly I come to realize that this is not a dream, this is real life. I need to wake up. I have to stop at school to pick up my knives before I go to the theater. Am I going to meet Amanda Freitag today? Holy guacamole, what would I say!? She's a Next Iron Chef finalist, a Chopped judge, a roll model! I better make ginger tea this morning.
I'm here. This is cool. Taste what you see on the screen, sweet concept! I wonder what we'll be cooking...
Through the hallway, past the theater, up the stairs and enter kitchen. Hello FCI student volunteers. HELLO Amanda Freitag! I cannot believe I am sharing a kitchen with Amanda Freitag all day.
She’s amazing, kind, and such a positive person. She
lives up to everything I admire.
Week one and I
already met and cooked with one of my idols… hell yeah school!
Her menu was creative, delicious, and showcased the local produce beautifully.
Edible dirt made from mushrooms with arugula, lemon oil, and salt.
And how fresh was the produce you ask?
Cannot get more farm to table than that!
What an accomplished day. Fed 250 people and feeling gratified.
