Slow Food Presents:
Folk and Fork History of Texas Foods
A three part series on culinary heritage of Central Texas food with tall tales and tasters for all.
We kick off our series at the beautiful Rain Lily Farm with Chef Wolfgang, the Mozart of Eastern European foods, and owner of the famous Fabi + Rosi. Chef Wolfgang Murber will tell the tale of how Eastern European foods made their way to Texas and found a home in the kitchens and stomachs of early Texans. To further illustrate the ways German and other Eastern European foods have influenced our cuisine, Chef Murber and Chef Elizabeth Winslow of Rain Lily Farms will do a live cooking demonstration of schnitzel and fried chicken.
So come on out and learn a little Texas food folkizzle while you snack on some schnitzel.

Fall brings many changes – not just in the trees and the cooler weather but in the selection of edible plants all around us, just waiting to be harvested. Join us for a very special Slow Session with Amy Crowell, owner of Edible Yards and writer for Edible Austin on wild foods. Amy will lecture on how to identify, harvest and prepare some of the most delicious and nutritious wild foods Central Texas has to offer. Amy has been eating foods from the wilds of Texas since she was a kid. She looks forward to sharing some of her experiences and knowledge with you! Think of this educational session as a wild edible plant walk but instead of heading outside, in the heat, you can learn about edible plants while you relax inside and enjoy some wine.
Enjoy beautiful wines under the trees and spirited creations from Bill Norris of Fino and David Alan, the Tipsy Texan. Delicious appetizers made with produce sourced directly from the farm will be served al fresco by Jesse Bloom of Ecstatic Cuisine… Don’t forget it is tomato season!
