Terra Madre Day in Saskatchewan

John and I celebrated international Terra Madre Day at the New Ground Cafe in Birch Hills, near Prince Albert. Now that I think of it, every day is a Terra Madre Day at the New Ground Cafe, where Jenni fills her chalkboard menu with the local bounty.

Two years ago, Jenni attended the Terra Madre symposium in Turin, Italy. This symposium is held by the Slow Food organization to celebrate and encourage the preservation of local food traditions all over the world. She's an excellent ambassador for Saskatchewan.

Here's her Terra Madre lunch. It was all good but I'm still dreaming of that fabulous soup!

Jenni's got some delicious events planned this month:
