Teen Chef Creates 2014 Food Calendar to Benefit Food Bank

Warwick student has two-year history of supporting the Food Bank

Catherine Amoriggi’s 365 Food Calendar 2014 to support the RI Community Food Bank

Catherine Amoriggi may be only 16 years old, but she is a seasoned chef and food blogger. And she’s putting her skills to good use for hungry families in Rhode Island.

Catherine has created a unique 2014 wall calendar, featuring her recipes with professional photographs of each dish. In addition, the calendar presents facts about hunger and information about the Rhode Island Community Food Bank. She’s also included a variety of “food days,” like National Brown Bag It Day.

“Thanks to the generosity of the Amoriggi family, every penny of the proceeds from the calendar will benefit the Food Bank,” said Andrew Schiff, Chief Executive Officer of the Food Bank. “This grassroots project demonstrates the ability of young people to make a real difference in our community.”

Catherine has a history of cultivating ways to help the Food Bank. At age fourteen, she hosted a culinary event where she prepared an elegant meal for a large community gathering, raising more than $3000 for the Food Bank.

The 365 Food Calendar 2014 is now on sale for $15 at Barrington Books and several Providence locations, including Stock Culinary Goods, Books on the Square and Farmstead. In addition, the calendar can be purchased online at www.rifoodbank.org/gifts, at the Food Bank’s facility at 200 Niantic Avenue, Providence, and at the Food Bank’s special events.

Catherine is one of many young philanthropists who have found creative ways to benefit the Food Bank. Recognizing this desire in our youth to make a difference, the Food Bank recently published “One Kid Can! Helping the Hungry: A Toolkit for Kids and Young Adults.” The 20-page booklet contains dozens of ideas organized by age group, along with tools and helpful hints for conducting food and “fun” drives; and can be downloaded for free by visiting www.rifoodbank.org/HungerActionMonth or by picking up a copy at the Food Bank, which is open Monday through Friday from 8am to 5pm.

The Rhode Island Community Food Bank provides food to more than 68,000 Rhode Islanders in need every month through its statewide network of food pantries and meal sites. One in three served by the Food Bank is a child under the age of 18.


Tilted Barn Brewery, RI’s First Farm Brewery, to Open

Tilted Barn Brewery Founders Matt and Kara Richardson Seek Funding via Indiegogo to Build Rhode Island’s First Farm Brewery

In 2007, Matt Richardson and Joel Littlefield founded Ocean State Hops, Rhode Island’s first commercial hop farm. As their mission statement declares, these home brewing brothers-in-law were fueled by a passion to cram as many hops into each batch of beer as humanly possible and supply other brewers looking to quench their thirst for hops. Over the past six years Matt and Joel have succeeded, supplying hops to local homebrewers and breweries alike. Now Matt and his wife Kara will be expanding upon this success as they open Tilted Barn Brewery, Rhode Island’s first farm brewery.

Tilted Barn Brewery will be located in the historic barn on their farm in Exeter, Rhode Island, which has been in Kara’s family for over 50 years. The couple’s mission is to expand upon the success of Ocean State Hops and not only provide locally grown hops but also provide local, hand-crafted beer that is brewed with ingredients grown on the farm. The motivation behind Tilted Barn Brewery is to keep Kara’s family tradition of farming alive while adding their own modern twist for craft beer and the art of brewing. Visitors to the farm brewery will be able to tour the barn brewery, enjoy samples in the tasting room, and walk around the farm to see the ingredients that will go into each batch of beer.

Contributions will be used to

  • Convert the first floor into the brewery space and second floor into a tasting room and viewing area of the brewery.
  • Make the necessary modifications to the infrastructure of the barn, such as heating, plumbing, drains, etc.
  • Construct the bar and purchase the necessary draft lines, refrigeration, etc.
  • Build a temperature controlled fermentation and cold storage room.

This campaign will receive all funds raised even if it does not reach its goal. Funding duration: September 24, 2013 -November 23, 2013 (11:59pm PT).

The Sunnyside Daytime Dining

The Sunnyside Daytime Dining

The Sunnyside Daytime Dining

The March/April 2012 issue of Yankee magazine features “New England’s Best Breakfasts” with one restaurant from each of the six New England states being chosen for the story. Yankee‘s favorite in Rhode Island is The Sunnyside Daytime Dining in Warren. Jocelyn Ruggiero wrote about her experience at Chef Joe Simone’s beautiful breakfast-and-lunch gem calling it “more elegant than most” and describing Simone as “behind the counter, smiling and chatting with customers as he works.” The article features Simone’s recipe for his Dutch Baby with Ham & Cheese. Find it in stores now or read the digital version online. Congratulations to Chef Simone and his staff on being selected. The Sunnyside Daytime Dining is at 267 Water St. in Warren. Their hours are listed on their site.

Mill’s Tavern

Mill’s Tavern released the following news about their tenth anniversary this year:

Celebrating a decade of acclaimed fine dining, Mill’s Tavern is honoring its 10-year milestone with a Spring Anniversary menu featuring signature and favorite dishes from over years. “We are excited to re-introduce these Mill’s Tavern classics which represent our time-honored tradition in culinary excellence,” said Executive Chef Edward Bolus. “The selected dishes focus on the culinary details and fundamental techniques emphasizing flavor, balance and our dedication to using local ingredients.”

Spring Anniversary Menu highlights include: Beef Tartare over Bulgar Wheat Salad and cornichon emulsion with a sunny-side up quail egg, “Mill’s Sandwich” Seared Hudson Valley Foie Gras with black currant buttermilk biscuit and tea braised figs, Open-Faced Braised Rabbit Ravioli with organic wild mushroom truffle cream sauce, Grilled Black Angus Short Ribs in a ruby port with Roquefort Yorkshire pudding and watercress greens. Visit their website to view the full Spring Anniversary menu, available now through June 19th. For reservations or more information, please call 401-272-3331, or visit OpenTable.com.

Eat Drink RI was invited to a Spring Anniversary tasting and recommends the Tartare dish, as well as a Kataifi Wrapped Roulade of Sole with crab, rock shrimp, marscapone, and lemon beurre blanc. Both dishes draw on Chef Bolus’s use of Middle Eastern flavors. Also, don’t miss dessert. The Pastry Chef made an excellent Lavendar-Vanilla Panna Cotta with stewed bluberries, honey sponge cake and crisp meringue.
