Flavourful Saskatoon, February 26, 2018


Slow Food National Summit, Apr. 19-22 
The 2018 Slow Food National Summit will be held in Saskatoon from Apr. 19-22. Themes include Indigenous food systems, slow food youth, food waste, adapting ourselves and our food to eat where we live, and biodiversity.

Soul Foods 
Soul Foods will be moving into the former liquor store on 20th Street. The owners say they are “looking for ways to serve every demographic in the neighbourhood, and hope[s] to work with local suppliers to find ‘really reasonable’ prices.”

Redemption Roasters 
Redemption Roasters run a roastery and barista training center at Aylesbury Prison, UK. Prisoners without skills or a job are 50% more likely to reoffend. Redemption hopes to counter that statistic with not only skills but help finding a job.

“Just as our sourcing of coffee is ethical, we’re showing the whole roasting process can be socially responsible too. The result is a finely crafted cup of coffee that raises the bar for everyone.”

Proud to be Dairy-Free 
A commercial airing during the closing ceremonies of the Winter Olympics promotes the benefits of a dairy-free lifestyle. “I did it for my athletic performance,” says Kara Lang, of the 2008 Canadian Olympic soccer team, “and it worked.”

Flavourful Saskatoon is a weekly Monday feature. I also post articles about food that is good, clean and fair; travel; and books. You may also enjoy EcoFriendly Sask profiling Saskatchewan environmental initiatives and events.
