2010-03-09 Cupitts Cottage review, Ulladulla Back to the vat-cave

The Vineyard Kitchen, which adjoins the Creamery, is a member of the slow food movement. This does not mean the food takes a long time to cook; it means food that is "good, clean and fair": fresh, local and seasonal; not contaminated; those who produce it and those who eat it benefit fairly - that is, you get value for money.

Theres a cave just down from Slaughterhouse Road that holds in its cold monzonite arms a treasure that gives warmth and pleasure to those who sit, oblivious, above. From this cave, near Milton on the South Coast, was born Rosie Cupitts dream: a vineyard she could call her own; a tasting room for her wines; a restaurant promoting and serving fresh local produce and seafood and a cottage for guests.

2009-12-02 John Freemans The Tyranny of E-mail sings of a global addiction Books

As Freeman points out, his solution takes its inspiration from Italys Slow Food movement, which advocates slow cooked, local produce over fast food. A good idea, but lets remember that Carlo Petrini, the founder of the Slow Food movement, resides in the Piedmont region -- home to the best cheese and wine and white truffles in the world.

Freeman proposes a "Slow Communication Manifesto," advocating things like "Dont send" and "Check it twice a day. " Its a set of well-meaning, mostly moderate steps to reduce our e-mail footprint. Will it be heeded I doubt it.
