A Taste of Irish Slow Living. On Wednesday, September 29 at 2 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time (EDT), Irish Chef Catherine Fulvio – an award-winning author of six cookbooks, founder of the Ballyknocken House & Cookery School and a celebrated television host on both sides of the Atlantic – will kick off the series from the kitchen of her family farmhouse in County Wicklow, Ireland.

Making Simple Soar:Compound Butters. Butter is a staple ingredient and a common accompaniment to some of our favorite foods. But it can reach new heights when combined with simple, fresh ingredients. In a session on October 27 at 2 p.m. EDT, Chef Edward Lee will demonstrate how to make and use high quality, sweet and savory compound butters starting with natural, organic sweet and creamy butter from Truly Grass Fed. Brooklyn-born Chef Lee owns 610 Magnolia in Louisville, KY, and acts as culinary director at Succotash in National Harbor, MD, and Washington, DC. He is also an award-winning author and community activist within the restaurant industry.
Truly Grass Fed cheeses and butters are sourced from cows that are 95% grass-fed (an average of one cow for every two acres) and are Non-GMO Project Verified, Animal Welfare Approved by A Greener World and free from growth hormones and antibiotics. A co-op of 3,000 family farms located across Ireland's fertile land supplies the brand's high-quality ingredients.
"Having grown up on an Irish dairy farm I appreciate the care that goes into producing the best of Irish butter and cheese and am delighted to work with Truly Grass Fed and host the first of these sessions," said Chef Catherine Fulvio. "Slow food is all about enjoying food consciously, taking time to source the best of fresh ingredients, and even stepping out and foraging to celebrate what nature naturally provides."
"We're thrilled to work with Truly Grass Fed to bring these sessions to our members and others interested in good, clean and fair food for all," said Anna Mulé, executive director of Slow Food USA. "Cheese and butter are common kitchen staples, but this is the first time we've explored slow dairy in our programming. It will be a fun, interactive learning experience for everyone."
