Cook Here and Now – a Slow Food Conversation
Cook Here and Now is a concept developed by San Francisco food lover Marco Flavio Marinucci. Following successful presentations in America, Melbourne is the first city to adopt the idea.

Cook Here and Now brings together a group of people to select, prepare and share locally sourced food. At several events at local farmers’ markets in the coming months communities will get the opportunity to enjoy a shared meal. This is a movement with potential for building community and promoting healthy eating.

Join Library Week Ambassador, our special ‘foodie’ Ann Creber and Slow Food Melbourne President Alison Peake to discuss this exciting new idea and its possibilities for local communities.

When: Wednesday 26th May 7pm
Where: Montrose Library Corner Mt. Dandenong Tourist Road & Swansea Road Montrose
Cost: Free event
Bookings essential phone 9728 4224

Cheers, Maryanne
