Tuesday I will be going to Hoven Farms to help make the weekly delivery of cattle to the abattoir (a nicer way of saying slaughterhouse). Hopefully we’ll be taking A3, a cow we saw take its first breath at the farm 3 years ago. To celebrate the life of A3 and the animals we eat, we have paired with Slow Food Calgary for our next Kitchen Workshop – Eating A3 on Tuesday, May 12th. Tim Hoven will be on hand to 
talk about raising organic beef and we’ll be enjoying several dishes featuring his beef. For more info or tickets go to the Slow Food Calgary website.
We all have a sudden need to eat more greens so this week we are featuring a main course salad as a special. Our main course salads have meat, vegetables, and greens and are large enough to make dinner out of. As the weather improves we’ll continue doing them. This week we have a Greek Chicken Salad.
Spots are available our next cooking class on Tuesday, April 28th. This time around we are making Butter Chicken and exploring the spices and seasoning necessary t o create the dish. Each participant will take home their creation and if you are a vegetarian you can make a vegetarian version. The class costs $45 and you can book a spot by calling Forage.
