Farm to Fork SF: The Chefs | Caesare Assad

We spent the day with Chef Caesare in Capay, CA as she foraged for ingredients inspired by the Natives Americans of Capay. What an incredible way to end a shoot, to eat all the incredible food!

July 8, 2016 event, Chef Caesare Assad prepared a 5-course Native American-inspired meal with some guidance from her mentor, acclaimed Potawatomi Chef Loretta Barrett Oden.

Chef Assad created a meal designed to pay tribute to her mentor with an interpretation of Chef Oden's traditional Native American recipes. The meal featured Seka Hills wine and olive oil, heirloom vegetables from Full Belly Farm, and locally sourced salmon, quail egg, and bison.

At the event, guests had the chance to sample traditional Native American dishes that can't be found anywhere else in the Bay Area. We are proud to have assisted Chefs Assad and Oden in their goal to preserve Native American food traditions while introducing the cuisine to new audiences.
