Slow Food is an international movement founded by Carlo Petrini in 1986. Promoted as an alternative to fast food, it strives to preserve traditional and regional cuisine and encourages farming of plants, seeds and livestock characteristic of the local ecosystem. It was the first established part of the broader Slow Movement. The movement has since expanded globally to over 100,000 members in 150 countries.[1] Its goals of sustainable foods and promotion of local small businesses are paralleled by a political agenda directed against globalization of agricultural products."

From our friends at Rattos... This looks absolutely delicious! Ratto's has been around for over 100 years. Zoobird member Michael Hauser is the webmaster. Today Ratto's kindly posted this recipe. The fennel and smoked paprika make it look especially unique. Of course, you can substitute anything you like for the seafood if you're vegetarian. Thanks, Rattos!
