It’s not too late to pick up the Winter Issue of Edible Portland! While the ground remains cold and solid, several women at Coffee Creek Correctional Facility are combing through seed catalogs planning for next season’s planting. Their garden, which lives within the confines of the women’s prison, provides fresh produce for the 540 inmates. Read about how the garden was founded and its power to bring joy. This year, February 14 is not only Valentine’s Day, but also the first day of the Chinese New Year. Hsiao-Ching Chou, one time food editor for the Seattle Post-Intelligencer and mother of two, shares her reflections on many years celebrating this annual holiday. Commemorate the Year of the Tiger with another felicity—Chou’s mother’s recipe for Lion’s Head Meatball Stew. Of course, February 14 is also Valentine’s Day. Portland has a wealth of talented chocolate makers and deeply stocked chocolate bar shops. Plan and host a chocolate tasting—even just for two!—with helpful tips from local chocolatiers. And to get yourself truly primed for the sweetness of the holiday, join Ecotrust Events, Edible Portland, and Slow Food Portland on Thursday, February 4 from 5:30 pm – 7:30 pm for “From Bean to Buzz,” a round-robin evening of local artisan tastings. Attendees will rotate through sampling stations of our region’s best chocolatiers and coffee roasters, learning lesson in chocolate and coffee flavors, sourcing, and local production.
