LongHouse Food Revival promises to be pretty amazing!

August 30, 2013 by Mary Frances 24 Comments

I’m so absolutely excited to have been invited to attend the LongHouse Food Revival 2013, a gathering of 100 visionary thinkers and influential decision makers in food, which will take place next weekend, Sept. 7 and 8, at a historic diary farm in Upstate New York.

Every year, LongHouse Food Revival chooses a subject to explore and presents its discoveries in documentary film, radio, broadcast, spoken word, live cooking, interviews and visionary art. This year their focus is on the Saffron Diaspora — looking at the original Spice Trail and exploring the various religions and cultures that arrived to the United States on a wave of exotic spices, ingredients and dishes. Wouldn’t it be awesome if we could promote tolerance with all of this.

And you all know about my love affair with spices!

On Saturday evening, chefs from across the country will come together to cook us a “live fire” feast from the Saffron Diaspora. I’ll be sure to share as much of that as I can with you in photos later. As they describe it, this year’s feast will be “a world tour of flatbreads, spiced ice cream, saffron martinis and music from Yo Yo Ma’s Silk Road.” Doesn’t that martini sound amazing? And it must be a beautiful color – I’m so ready!

This year’s speakers include Los Angeles Times’s food critic Jonathan Gold, blogger Elissa Altman, author Naomi Duguid, NPR’s Kathy Gunst, Food Network’s Katherine Alford, NYU Food Studies Director Krishnendu Ray, cookbook author Molly O’Neill and many more. I’ll be going as a guest of The Daily Meal, this blog’s affiliate.

Another part I’m looking forward to is first annual Food Flea they’ve planned for Sunday, a marketplace of “ideas and innovation for individuals, media outlets, publishers, organizations, brands, start-ups, farmers and producers.”  I’m sure I’ll be meeting a very special bunch of food people there.

If you’d like tickets to next weekend’s festivities you can go to the event website and purchase access to one day only, or the whole weekend.

It’s going to be a special event and I would love to meet you there!

    Sounds like fun. Knowing more about saffron has not been a goal of mine, but now that I think about it, saffron has to have more to say about it than what Donovan told me so many years ago. They call me mellow yellow . . .

    What an incredible day it will be and I’m just loving the image of the Nigerian with the goat! I’ve never had goat cooked on a spit before or been served meat from a spit by anyone looking so much like they love life xx

    I read about the Magnus Duruji live fire extravaganza show at the CookingScribble Longhouse Food Revival Festival in Rensselaerville New York on September 7, 2013. It was my impression that Executive Chef Magnus Duruji shined like a rising star he is beyond the utmost cloud of cooking style to perfect his exotic barbecue Goat recipe. I understand from media sources that Chef Duruji is currently undergoing sauce design production with a Food Production Designer in the East Coast. Can you comment who this designer is and when Chef Duruji’s sauces will be in the market.

      Wow!! His sauces should be on the market but unfortunately I am not privy to this knowledge or any details. Chef Magnus did shine, offering me a taste of his pure sauce while he was barbecuing. It was powerful and divine!
