CAPE MAY FORUM – CHAUTAUQUA AT THE SHORE HOW ABOUT A LIVELY POLITICAL DISCUSSION over a great meal or after a listening to a well-known author? If you’re in Cape May, or headed here in Sep- tember, you’ll be in the right place at the right time! The Cape May Forum is mod- eled after the Chautauqua Institute in New York which offers a variety of arts, music, cultural and other educational programs.
Cape May Forum – Chautauqua at the Shore will host “Guess What’s Coming for
Dinner? – The Politics of Food in the 21st Century” Sept. 15-25. With the second- largest fishing port on the East Coast and close proximity to numerous local farms and farmers markets, Cape May seems like the perfect spot for this all-new event.
Both weekends – Friday, Saturday and Sunday – of the 10-day event will
feature a keynote speaker, panel discussions, demonstrations and book discussions. Speakers will discuss social challenges, health issues, energy use, loss of farmland, animal rights, soil depletion – and how these connect with “what’s for dinner?” – to inspire audiences with innovative and creative solutions. In addition to tours of the fishing port, hands-on cooking demonstrations, and a slow food feast, atten- dees will have the chance to hear from some nationally recognized authors and television personalities, including:
Amy Cotler, who is a culinary expert and author of The Locavore Way, Discover
and Enjoy the Pleasures of Locally Grown Foods, will speak about seasonal cook- ing and local eating.
Joel Salatin, proprietor of Polyface Farms, is an author, environmentalist, capi-
talist and full-time farmer, who will discuss his cutting-edge practices for ecologi- cally beneficial and economically sustainable farming. Salatin is the author of You Can Farm and The Sheer Ecstasy of Being a Lunatic Farmer, and his farm was fea- tured in Michael Pollan’s book, Omnivore’s Dilemma.
Aaron McCargo Jr. took home the prize for The Next Food Network Star and
now has his own weekly series, Big Daddy’s House. McCargo will share his passion for big, bold flavors and fun, family cooking.
During the week, look for events sponsored by the Mid-Atlantic Center for the
