From Our Markets By Lesley Stiles  SFPFS Member Lesley Stiles writes the e-newsletter for the Contra Costa Certified Farmers’ Markets. Here is her latest installment: Happy Independence Day Everyone! We are fortunate indeed to be able to exert our independence and shop locally for foods grown by people we can actually talk to about how and where they were grown and what may have been sprayed or not on them. Farmers' markets are a strong symbol of independence as well as success for farmers' and consumers alike.  Recipe: Summer Squash Sauteed w/ Lemon and Mint

Food Writing Book Club SIG June MeetingJune 23, 2008 by Ann Wheeler The Food Writing Book Club SIG met at Cynthia Traina’s home in San Francisco on June 11th. On a warm summer evening, we discussed Madhur Jaffrey’’s memoir, Climbing the Mango Trees: A Memoir of a Childhood in India, and Mark Kurlansky’s Salt: A World History.  Traveling Table Report - Digs Bistro An Intimate Summer Supper in Berkeley Monday, June 23, 2008 By Kara Nielsen  A lively group of 36 Food Society members and guests filled Digs Bistro to the rafters for our summer Traveling Table and enjoyed a delicious market-inspired summer meal. Optimizing SFPFS Networking Opportunities by Cynthia Traina photo by M Christine Torrington  Joyce Jue, Jo Lynne Lockley, and Lynda Zuber Sassi From conventional gatherings to new media chat rooms, the SFPFS works to keep its members connected. In early June, over 40 members happily crushed together for wine and conversation at Yield Wine Bar in San Francisco’s Dog Patch neighborhood. As the first regional networking event, the San Francisco evening proved an unqualified success, “selling out” quickly and drawing together members from across the city. The two hour event sped by, with departing attendees promising to see one another at the next opportunity. For more information and dates of upcoming regional networking events, check the calendar listings. Haka Invigorates Sauvignon Blanc Showdown By Mark Magers  Eleven
lucky participants in the SFPFS Wine SIG met on June 9 for a
comparative tasting of Sauvignon Blancs from France’s Loire Valley
and New Zealand’s Marlborough Region. Since these two nations also
meet with some regularity on the rugby pitch, the tasting commenced
with a video of The Haka, the traditional Maori war dance, performed
by the NZ All Blacks in a match against – who else? France.
