Greetings and Happy Summer Vibes to you all!!!
Well its finally here Green Table Project will launch their cooking demos in conjunction with the Bedford Stuyvesant YMCA healthy series of demos and lectures. Tuesday, July 21st will be the first of 4 demos for the 2009 growing season in NY and Brooklyn. Our mission is to educated and share techniques and conversations about food in our neighborhood and how important eating seasonally and supporting locally can sustain our lives. We have formed a relationship with Bed-Stuy CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) whom will be donating vegetables and fruits for some of our demos. We will also visit some local gardens in Bedstuy meeting their gardeners and enjoy the beauty of their gardens.
I have included the remaining series dates for July and August:
Tuesday July 28th

Tuesday August 25th
The cost of the demos are $5 (YMCA members) and $10 (non YMCA members).
Its the best time of the year to enjoy the fruits and vegetables of the season. GTP will demo knife skills, techniques, easy recipes and discuss health benefits of eating local in your neighborhood and seasonally.

So officially at 7:30pm on April 14, 2009 we launched the first Green Table Project cooking demos. It was small turn however big ups to Gwen and Steven for attending the demo sharing their stories around food. The YMCA on Bedford Avenue in Bed Stuy hosted last night demo however this summer check us out throughout community gardens in Brooklyn. Shop locally, eat healthy, be alive! The focus of yesterday's class was garbanzo beans and the health benefits of beans in your everyday diet. I made a delicious lemon hummus (below you can view the recipe and attempt it yourself to make at home). Look out for the calendar of events coming soon and support GTP in your hood. If you have a community garden that would like to host a GTP send me an email and we can discuss specific details. See you soon and shop locally, eat healthy, and be alive!
Until the next month... Cheers ya'll
PS. Sweet Potato Bakery stickers coming soon!! Grab one and stick it where it counts!

It was overall the trip I never imagined in my lifetime. I met so many wonderful people and saw so many beautiful places. If anyone has an opportunity to go and visit Hawaii GO, GO, GO, GO!!!!!! I want to thank everyone at Haiilimaile General Store, The Blossoming Lotus, Mikey @ Kauai Int'l Hostel, The Rainbow End Hostel, Ryan our traveling hitchhiker, the guest of Mangolani, Napa Valley, Sonoma Valley, Mai-lei, Gustavo and city of Fresco. There were a few places I had the opportunity to eat at however they never made the blog. The Fish Market (freshest fish on the island), Flatbread Pizza ( really good local organic pizza), There is a gelato spot across the street from Fish Market (a must stop! enjoy..try the Pistachio!!!!)
I've been back in NY for 2 weeks, and well.... what the hell do I do now? Life has me guessing and freaking out about where to take the new skills learned and where to go for the new skills I desire. I have made a decision about one thing.... Personal Chef Services! What do you guys think? I am fumbling around with the idea but I really feel this is the way to go and now this is where I am stuck. I need a name! I am putting it out to you all, "What would you name your business?" I am additionally requesting your opinion on a few names that came up for me... you be the judge and rate your favorites:
A) Grilled Cheese Catering
B) Breadfruit Catering
C) Green Table Catering
D) Knife and Fork Catering
E) Salt and Pepper Catering
F) Local Food Catering
I love your support and know ya'll will help me with a name that is fitting to my beliefs, and the food I enjoying making.
Stay Tuned for more photos of Hawaii and more project green table updates!
Peace! Peace! Peace!
PS... A special thank you to Harvey whom made the journey to visit. I had a unforgettable trip with you.

The Green Table Project
The fruits of this island are so vast I am merely showing about 1% of what this island has. There are apple bananas (banana's that taste like apples), mountain apples ( they look like a red delicious pear and apple had a baby together), soursap (my west indian folks know what this is), rasputins (the prickly red fruit sweet and delicious eat around the seed), tamarinds, tangerines so sweet you want to slap the farmer..... The farmers market on Kauai is every wednesday from 3pm until everything is sold. I got to the market around 3:15pm and the lot was so packed I couldn't even see where the entrance was. The market is in a parking lot and everyone in town come, meet, talk, and exchange their goods. Too all my foodies it's the Union Square market times 2 the prices are awesome and the wide variety of farmers selling different product is incredible. It has a very local, community vibe, and the energy is positive as the sun burn down on us on the hot asphalt. Here's the idea travel the world exploring all the different farmer's markets meet the people and prepare a plate worth writing your friends back home about. This is my mission and the green table project is committed to you enjoying my journeys as much as I am enjoying them. Stay tuned for next week's market adventures....

What! What! What!
Alright folks so here we go again for those that remember my trip to Europe. Here are my chronicles of my trip to Hawaii in six weeks. I made it here safely and I am totally stoked to be here! I am cooking at a revolutionary restaurant on the island called The Blossoming Lotus (Check out their web page). I am working with a great group of peeps from the island and from the main land. For those that don't know Hawaii is part of the US so just to let you know they speak english here LOL. I attached my first meal that I help prepared and then devoured for my delicious dinner yesterday 2/4/08. It's the Enchilades! I have alot to add about the experience so far but I needed to start somewhere. Tune in tomorrow for my meal from 2/5/08 and gooey stories fro the beautiful beaches and undeveloped land on the island of Kauai.
PEACE! MAHALO! ALOHA
SUE-B
PS. I attached a shot of my alcoholic beverage that accompained my dinner the LOTUS SANGRIA! I got alittle tipsy after that one.<div class="blogger-post-footer">Keep enjoying good local organic foods!</div>Suzanne Barrhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06972091081132205551noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2538908843620920764.post-52987180369454616962007-11-15T22:33:00.001-05:002007-11-15T22:57:17.133-05:00The Green Table Project<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjc_Vw3NgrX6ACFwQx0UAhVZ7jX1_b7M7xNtNxX4eLoWV_wz51AzWuMIQA7ZkP-3Rne8COr8b8RVtdHOONy6mg1P-E69YkuFQHQt6PHYFYwxzdIB7_99-IIBJVVwF0I_xSfKUiKckzUg24/s1600-h/2.jpeg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjc_Vw3NgrX6ACFwQx0UAhVZ7jX1_b7M7xNtNxX4eLoWV_wz51AzWuMIQA7ZkP-3Rne8COr8b8RVtdHOONy6mg1P-E69YkuFQHQt6PHYFYwxzdIB7_99-IIBJVVwF0I_xSfKUiKckzUg24/s320/2.jpeg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5133280612925799410" /></a>
The Clifton Place garden has a large variety of
vegetables, fruits, herbs, and delicious smelling
flowers all season long. The Green Table Project is a once a month
event held within the Clifton Place Community Garden
during the spring/summer harvest. We will invite local
chef's from restaurants throughout Bed-Stuy, Fort Greene,
Park Slope, and Crown Heights to come and prepare one dish
from their restaurants menu using the same herbs, vegetables, and
fruits from the garden. The food would then be served
to the community on a family style table were
additional information will be offered about the
Greenthumb NYC, Green Gorillas, and the opportunities of eating
locally and learning about the variety of food that is grown here in Brooklyn.
Live music from a DJ for the day event showcasing the power of
community when we work, eat, and dance together. We
would like to enroll you in the possibility of
participating within The Green Table Project.<div class="blogger-post-footer">Keep enjoying good local organic foods!</div>Suzanne Barrhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06972091081132205551noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2538908843620920764.post-85059226879061625252007-06-30T17:36:00.000-04:002007-06-30T17:43:56.365-04:00Chefs in the kitchen<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjolpG1Hs2BO51RUZ5MjQ6SJWIBVGexdaKXgHQOnCkfYvvBYlO8iWLXeEE2ul_nLeCO2G8wqKozQWV0a-kguTD6OGM6mtVCk1WqshXylDa833VmhOiLXZxnZoehH9LFWUDDJxEMufeUEbM/s1600-h/IMG0027_2.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjolpG1Hs2BO51RUZ5MjQ6SJWIBVGexdaKXgHQOnCkfYvvBYlO8iWLXeEE2ul_nLeCO2G8wqKozQWV0a-kguTD6OGM6mtVCk1WqshXylDa833VmhOiLXZxnZoehH9LFWUDDJxEMufeUEbM/s200/IMG0027_2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5081975841602152898" border="0" /></a>

Living in Bed Stuy I have realized that my neighborhood had a strong community vibe. They have annual summer block parties ( isn't that every block in Brooklyn?) When I decided to join the community garden I knew I wanted an opportunity to grow my own veggies and cook them at home in my kitchen. I was a bit apprehensive considering the issues with possible top soil in the hood (glass bottles and trash). Clifton Place garden has it's own compost soil as well as they plant in above ground boxes. It's a awesome feeling walking to the corner and knowing that within a week I will have fresh herbs, sweet and juicy veggies. If your ever in Bed Stuy come by the Clifton Place garden on Bedford and Clifton Place. We have Tomatoes, green beans, corn, basil, you name it if it's green we have it.<div class="blogger-post-footer">Keep enjoying good local organic foods!</div>Suzanne Barrhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06972091081132205551noreply@blogger.com0
