Program Description

Many Australian chefs have been gravitating towards the "slow food" approach to cuisine, taking the time to fully appreciate the skill of cooking. This movement is becoming highly regarded among chefs not only "Down Under," but also across the world, who are passionate about protecting and promoting the use of local ingredients and culinary traditions. Exercising the key principles of time and patience, these Aussie foodies show us how to create a "slow food" feast, while revealing a deeper message: slow down, appreciate our natural resources, and enjoy them whole-heartedly.

Exclusive Life in the Slow Lane The Slow Food movement may have been born in Europe, but Americans have taken it to heart. Gourmet's Emma Jacob talks to Patrick Martins, the founder of Slow Food USA, about how far we've come and how slow we can go.
