Perrot Library, in collaboration with Foodshed Forum Fairfield County, is pleased to welcome Franco Fubini, author of In Search of the Perfect Peach. Karen Saggese, co-site director of Food Rescue US – Fairfield County, will moderate the book discussion. This program is Part 3 of Historical Foodways: Seed, Hearth & Taste, co-sponsored by Perrot Library and Foodshed Forum Fairfield County. 

 

Franco Fubini is at the forefront of a fundamental revolution in the way we all eat. Founder and CEO of Natoora, his unique approach to seasonality and sourcing has been raising the bar on flavour for 20 years and is actively shaping the way both top chefs and consumers cook and understand food in London, Paris, Milan, Copenhagen, Malmo, New York, LA, Miami, and Melbourne.

 

Driven by his belief that by engaging people with the real flavour of fruit and vegetables, we can collectively transform the way that food is being farmed and supplied, Franco has built a resilient supply chain founded on flavour, transparency, and direct relationships. A professor of sustainability management at Columbia University in New York City, Franco is also a judge for the Food Planet Prize, the largest environmental prize in the world focused on food systems solutions.
