Foraging with Truffle Dogs, Cooking with Parsnips and Other Winter Root Vegetables
(Dog trainer Jean Rand prepares to go truffling with her black Lab Gusto/Photo courtesy of Joyce Eberhart.)
We speak with local dog trainers and a mycologist about how hunting with hounds could improve the culinary reputation of Oregon's underground wild truffles. Using dogs, instead of blindly hand-raking, is less damaging to forest ecosystem, as truffles grow at the roots of young Douglas firs. The Oregon Truffle Festival takes place in Eugene Jan. 29-31. And check out of a video of Southeast Portland resident Eric Lyon hunting truffles with dog Zoe here.

Community Calendar: We give you the 411 on food events for Valentine's Day, Chinese New Year and Haiti fundraisers.
Then we hear from Emily Stimac of the First Alternative Co-op in Corvallis on how to cook with in-season parsnips and turnips.

Ecotrust's Food Hub, Dangerous Dungeness and Political Spats at the Holiday Table
OUR DECEMBER SHOW FEATURES:
- EcoTrust's Deborah Kane joins us to discuss the non-profit's new FoodHub (food-hub.org), which connects institutional food buyers directly to local farmers. She stayed on to briefly discuss Ecotrust's new study that shows, in the case of fish, frozen is often better than fresh.
- Then we chat with Newport attorney Michele Longo Eder about her book, Salt in Our Blood: The Memoir of a Fisherman's Wife. It’s a tribute to her late son, who died in 2001 when his boat overturned during the start on Dugeness crab season in Yaquina Bay. Laura Anderson, co-owner of Local Ocean Seafoods, joins in to update on us on prospects for this year's crab season and answers questions about the sustainability of this catch.

Thanksgiving Special: Tofurky, Oregon Cranberries and The Adaptable Feast
Thanksgiving Special: Cranberries, Tofurky and The Adaptable Feast. Local chef Ivy Manning talks about her new cookbook The Adaptable Feast, with recipes to feed both omnivores and vegetarians at your holiday table.
(Click here for Ivy's Stuffed Delicata Squash recipe, pictured in her photograph above.)
Then we probe the history of Tofurky (made right here in Hood River) and ask if there are more nutritious, and tasty, non-turkey options. Nutritional therapist Traci Goodrich and Tofurky founder Seth Tibbott joined us in this debate. Goodrich is leading some vegetarian-friendly cooking classes at the nearby Salt, Fire & Time new community kitchen.
And Port Orford cranberry grower Scott McKenzie will tell us about his bountiful and salmon-friendly Southern Coast crop.

The season of bounty (ripe strawberries, shelling peas, cherries) is upon us.

Nafta turns 15: Baldemar Mendoza Jimenez from Oaxaca Lecture About Food Security
Baldemar Mendoza Jimenez is the coordinator of the agro-ecology program for UNOSJO (the Union of Organizations of the Sierra Juarez, Oaxaca). Sr. Mendoza is an expert on food sovereignty issues and the impacts of free trade agreements on indigenous farmers from Oaxaca. UNOSJO is an indigenous organization that works with indigenous communities and organizations in the Zapotec region of the Sierra Juárez, located in the state of Oaxaca, Mexico.

Do you plan on post the audio for this show, which contained a segment about Roosevelt High School students overcoming learning disabilities?
I appears it is missing...(?)
Thanks
crab fan here in portland
I am the daughter of a fishing captain (private sportfishing) and born/raised on the east coast of Fla so I know fish and shell fish!! I am a HUGE fan of Dungeness crab since moving here last Nov! Yes, Dung. is way better and more fulfilling than blue crab and my top two favorites!! The one comperable crab is the Fla Stonecrab which you only pull one claw off the crab and release the crab so it can grow another appendage!!! nice not having to kill the crab to enjoy eating it!! Gotta try this sweet crab claw!!! Really superior just as Dung. is!!!
