Food Lover's Guide to Portland Blog...

began as a collection of some of the research, recipes, images and culinary adventures that went into the making of Food Lover’s Guide to Portland. The first edition came out in 2010 and I started the blog in February 2009 as a companion piece to it and to help organize my thoughts while researching and writing it. The second edition came out in September 2014 from Hawthorne Books. The blog is now home to all different food, drink and beyond things I want to show and tell.

I’m also co-author of Fermenter: DIY Fermentation for Vegan Fare, author of Dumplings Equal Love, co-author of Toro Bravo: Stories. Recipes. No Bull from McSweeney’s, as well as Hello! My Name is Tasty: Global Diner Favorites from Portland’s Tasty Restaurants from Sasquatch Books and Grow Your Own: Understanding, Cultivating, and Enjoying Cannabis from Tin House Books.

I didn’t think I’d like blogging when I first started this, but it turns out I really do, mostly because I get to shout out people and things that I love.

Portland Fermentation Festival 2011 -- This Thursday!

October 17, 2011 in Food Fermentation, Food Preservation, Homemade Food, Portland DIY, Portland Fermentation ..., Uncategorized

This Thursday night is the Third Annual Portland Fermentation Festival and we really hope that you're either participating as an exhibitor or volunteer or planning on attending to sample all of the awesome homemade food ferments that will be available! It's going to be delicious and so much fun. It always is...

Here's some coverage that we've gotten already for this year's event: Portland Tribune storyPortland Farmers Market video

And just so you know, even if you aren't signed up as an exhibitor please feel free to bring any homemade food ferments, cultures, recipes, info. etc. to share with others on the fly. This event is very unique in that it's a no sale/no buy, skill-sharing night. (Check out last year's Portland Fermentation Festival.) In other words, you pay your $5 to get in and then it's all about interacting, trying tasty things and hopefully learning enough to make them yourself. It really is unique and we're proud that Portland Fermentation Festival so accessible and fun for all ages without any corporate ties.

Come out and see for yourself -- find out what's stinkiest and tastiest this year! See you Thursday I hope.

Third Annual Portland Fermentation Festival Open to the public, all agesWhen: Thursday, October 20th 6-8pm Where:Ecotrust's Billy Frank Jr. Conference Center on the second floor, 721 NW 9th Ave., #200, Portland, OR What: Sample and learn about all sorts of food and drink ferments Cost: $5 at the door info@portlandfermentationfestival.comTwitter @PDXFermentFest Facebook Portland Fermentation Festival
