"The Fifth Season"
with Monique Jamet Hooker
7pm Atrium Auditorium
$5 donation at the door
When Monique Hooker of DeSoto refers to "the fifth season," it is with a determination to fill the entire year with healthful, locally grown food. She believes that proper food preservation techniques make this possible for the average consumer.
"It's about preserving the food we have in abundance, like we used to in the old days," she says. "But we've lost a generation and need to start the wheels again - educating each other not just about the importance of sustainability, but how to make this happen."
This presentation discusses the principles and possibilities. It is not hands-on training about how to preserve food. Hooker wants everyone to learn how to relax with food as well as experience the joy and satisfaction of preparing meals from fresh ingredients.
Best described as a culinary pioneer, Hooker is a chef, teacher and author with a lifelong enthusiasm for food and travel. Trained in Europe, she moved to New York and worked alongside of chefs such as Jacques Pepin, Pierre Franey, Andre Soltner and Madeleine Kamman.
In the early 1970's, Hooker moved to Chicago where she operated a successful cooking school, catering company and restaurant (Monique's Cafe). She is the author of "Cooking With the Seasons, A Year In My Kitchen" (Henry Holt & Co) and hosted a TV show called "The Seasonal Kitchen."
