Social Soup Lecture Series Kicks Off

By Scott Frederick

The Social Soup Lecture Series kicked off in the Gould Auditorium on September 4. Two big pots of freshly made gazpacho (with several ingredients coming from the U's own gardens) didn't last long in a room full of hungry students, staff and teachers. After a few words from people involved in the Social Soup series and a short video the floor was opened for questions and comments. Everyone was encouraged to eat freshly grown food, add more beans to ones diet as well as cutting back on meat.

After the question and answer period Chef Matthew Seare gave a demonstration on making peach cobbler. After the demonstration Seare served cobbler to the attendees.

Just a note, by the time I was done shooting pictures the gazpacho was long gone. I was able to score a big helping of the cobbler though--delicious.
