Welcome to the SlowFoodLA web site, a local effort put together by members of the Los Angeles convivium of Slow Food to highlight events sponsored by the local convivium, restaurants and resources convivium members enjoy, etc.
This is intended to be our place on the web to exchange ideas and tips, and to share our interests surrounding food, drink, and the simple pleasures of life. It is whatever we members make of it.
When you become a member of Slow Food, you will receive a personal membership card, seven issues of our journal Slow in the language of your choice (including three special editions focusing on wine, the Ark of Taste, and the Slow Food Award) and four issues of our U.S. newsletter The Snail, plus the right to attend all Slow Food events in your area and around the world. When you sign up you will also be placed in the Los Angeles convivium, led by Evan Kleiman, and you will have the opportunity to participate in in convivium events and activities, which range from theme dinners and focused educational tastings to trips to local producers and farmers to learn about sustainably raised foods and regional agricultural traditions.
