some local vegan news...be the first to know....

[Guest guest]

From my Frugal Foodies mailing..

 

Tuesday, April 20th—April Guest Chef Night will feature co-chefs who I’m

quite excited about. They are Gerri Asuncion and Laurel Kops, and they’re

hoping

to start a Frugal Foodies in Oakland sometime in the next few months.

Gerri is the former chef and owner of “The Vegan” restaurant

in Maui, and Laurel specializes in raw and macrobiotic cooking. They hope

to one day open up a vegan café together, and for their night at Frugal

Foodies, they’re cooking up something vegan, macro, and perhaps raw, along

with sharing ideas for a healthy and vibrant vegan lifestyle with an

Asian-Cali bistro flair. This will be our only entirely vegan night of the

month, and I expect that it will fill up fast.

[frugalfoodies] April at Frugal Foodies

 

After a few months off, Frugal Foodies will be back up and

running in Berkeley on Tuesday nights in April (with one exception). In

addition to reading about what’s

coming up, please help spread the word about Frugal Foodies in Seattle and

our

newest location in Boston (info about this and all else FF-related at

www.frugalfoodies.org). And now for April in Berkeley and a few

important notes at the bottom of this missive:

 

Tuesday, April 6th—it’s Theme Night at Frugal

Foodies, and since I’m returning from five weeks in Indonesia, we’ll

dedicate

this night to the cuisine of the world’s fourth most populous country. I

don’t yet know what we’ll make but

it’s a pretty good bet that there will be some coconut, some other tropical

fruit, and rice in some form or another. The Indonesian food that I’ve had

in the States is quite different than

what I ate while traveling there—I had the same extra-culinary experience in

Thailand years ago—so I’m not sure what angle we’ll take in this regard.

But the food will be tasty, and it

should be a fun-filled night, especially after the two month Frugal Foodies

hiatus.

 

Tuesday, April 13th—sorry to report that we won’t

be holding our Vegan Night in April since I’ve got a Fotomio gig for this

night

that’s been planned for months. But fear not, the Guest Chef night one week

later will be totally vegan,

and we’ll do a wonderful “Julie’s Vegan Night” in May, so stay tuned for

that.

Tuesday, April 27th—as Special Guest Ingredient

Night, we’ll be featuring beets. When Seattle had their grand opening of

Frugal Foodies in January, they

made four really wonderful beet dishes, so I’ll be stealing many of these

recipes, and maybe adding a few of my own. Beets are very versatile and are

in season in April so think

beet chocolate cake, beet crostini, and some unbeatable salad.

 

 

As always, please know that you must pre-register for all

nights at Frugal Foodies and may do so either by replying to this email or

by

sending a note to info. Please know that it might take me

a few

days to get you registered since I have a long international flight ahead of

me, but you should certainly hear back from me by the end of March at the

latest.

 

Lastly, the

DiversityWorks Annual Garage Sale is coming up in early May, so if you have

anything to donate, you may bring those things to Frugal Foodies in April or

contact me to arrange delivery-pick-up. We love books, CD’s, outdoor/sports

equipment, toys and games, household

things, tools, and even small furniture. Just about the only thing that we

don’t like are old computer equipment

and used clothing. Thanks in

advance for your donation to a good cause (www.diversityworks.org) .
