Slow Food NYC Full Moon Feast

Join us for a communal dinner at Savoy in SoHo to celebrate the March full moon.

March Full Moon Feast prix fix menu includes:

-choice from 3 appetizers

-choice from 3 main courses

-choice from 3 desserts

This dinner series was inspired by the book "Full Moon Feast: Food and the Hunger Connection" by Jessica Prentice, especially this quote by Deborah Madison in the Foreword:

"It hasn't happened often, but on a few occasions I have had profound encounters with food...On these occasions I experienced something I can only think of as deep nourishment; food as sacramental sustenance that went far beyond everything we usually make food into. These were foods that were whole in the deepest sense, foods that were alive, and food you could feel; foods that came from human human hands, hearts and minds at work. As soon as I tasted them, I felt something was different, and a feeling of reverence arose spontaneously. This was physical and spiritual nourishment, food that expressed webs and layers of connections."

Slow Food NYC Full Moon Feasts are about this deep nourishment and the lives we might live if we celebrate the natural rhythms of the seasons.
