We sadly skipped three years of our wild & funky Portland Fermentation Festival at Ecotrust. Well guess what?! We aren't skipping 2023! We Stinkfest Queens are so pleased to announce that on THUR, OCT. 19 6-9pm, at our lovely Ecotrust home, we'll be getting STINKY! More soon!

If we ended industrial animal agriculture, there'd suddenly be more than enough food for everyone, we'd essentially end animal cruelty, no one would die, and we'd take a huge bite out of the climate and ecological emergency. We could do this basically overnight.

Cooking fast is about strategy, not skill. There's a lot of down time in the kitchen, & you can use that time to do other things that make the whole process go more quickly. I talked about the new edition of HTCE Fast with the fabulous @NPRMichel https://t.co/ACNqkfrZlB @NPR
