[foodhacking] Food Hacking & Collaboration at OHM 2013?

Wed Jul 24 17:00:54 CEST 2013

I will answer the mail later on today or tomrrow. 

Just quickly to the list and shopping. We will most likely do the shopping during the weekend or just two days or so before the event. I'm shopping for some things already because I want to make kimchi and brews which take longer to mature. We have to decide how much to dedicate to the first shopping - ingredients which we start the event with, we will be shopping during the event too. I would like to have minimum of 300 eu for the first shopping before the event more would be nice but we have to wait for how much the build up costs. 

We have one big gas stove already and food processor on the spot, plus one camping gas stove, fridge with freezer will be transported to the ground on 27th latest. 

Talk to you soon, have to run, I was preparing breakfast, lunch and now also dinner for the OHM volunteers.

Sincerely,

Frantisek Algoldor Apfelbeck

PS I will try to start a file of our accounting tonight.

Hello everybody,

I am finally back from my vacation and ready to join in again.

First thing: I don't have a sleeping bag and mat. Is there a way how to borrow some, from you or from someone else?

Second: I will try to add my list of ingredients into the google spread-sheet, most likely this up-coming weekend.
When are we going to visit the wholesale? I will be happy to be there and help with shopping, but again, I am available
basically in the weekends only since I have to work full-time during the workdays (or we could go shopping late in the evening?).

Third: I guess the wholesale shopping option applies only to standard foods and the more specialized foodstuffs will be bought from a standard healthy food store, correct? What is the arrangement concerning that?

Fourth, a detail really: I have noticed you plan for only 300 g of walnuts, hazelnuts and pumpkin seeds. Can you/we raise it to at least 500-1000 g?

And generally: can you update on the state of the kitchen? How does it look equipment- and energies-wise?

We are always grateful for any donations so try to think about your workshop in a way that you end up in a "plus numbers", however if the things do go bad we always try to make sure that the person in charge of the activity walks away at least with 0 and not minus, it worked so far (not all the workshop are "money makers" some really cool staff has to be supported but we have to plan for that). All the workshop are donation based no one turned away for lack of funds, workshop leader decides how many people can join and he/she should make clear what is the amount of cash needed to cover at least the ingredients and related stuff costs.

I have copied you so you can edit, in this case most likely add what you desire and include your nick so we know as a group who needs that plus if you can the project name/link. The list is still in doing but it is time to make it as complete as possible

>there are several spots open and we can create more in the morning or late evening (well the later I would prefer to avoid but ...). Day 3 dinner workshop is still open, that means that during the workshop we would be preparing food for 15-20 people more or less and the ingredients will be covered partly by our budget and partly by participants. Check our idea for the dinner workshop on the page but they are hands on and participants eat with the crowd later on the dinner. This may be a  good option, I really on your self esteem that people will be impressed by your and your team creations :-) You can also take another time slot where you do not have to prepare so much food just to play with participants, it is up to you but whichever way book sooner than later :-) I hope the group is OK with that, give it day or two and if no responses claim the slot (or better claim it now and possibly change it later)

>Hi Frantisek,

>Wow, thanks for the prompt reply! I'll be heading to OHM only a day before it starts (July 30) because I'm taking off from work so I barely have time to prepare when I get there! I'm actually not part of any dedicated tent, but I'm hailing from Lamba Labs Beirut Hackerspace. Also, I've been trying to follow up with the OHM speakerdesk with regards to the date/time and venue of my workshop.

>Up until now (and upon seeing that list of gear you linked) I've been unsure about the resources at OHM and its kitchen. And because I have to travel very lightly, I can't bring any equipment/ingredients myself. As a result, I've been planning a relatively "theoretical" workshop, which is no fun when it comes to food! But your Food Hacking Base is giving me hope that it can be more practical and fun and, more importantly, hands-on!
>
>
>One of the activities I planned is an exercise in which the participants get a list of ingredients that may be leftover after a meal, plus some idle ingredients that remain around a kitchen most of the time. The goal will be to creatively (and tastefully) combine things in ways that they aren't usually intended for- basically snack-hacking!

>An example from my last workshop (Hacking Breakfast) here in Lebanon was a peanut butter and labneh crepe! Also, from my personal favorites: labneh -tuna casserole (Greek-style, Mexican-style, basically any style with the right herbs & spices, as you well know I'm sure). Also, I have to admit that labneh is such a great food-hacking ingredient so we're lucky it's everywhere here.

>I was planning to do this exercise abstractly with laptops or papers & pens because I had no equipment/ingredients. If there's any way you could help me get this exercise off of paper and into the real world, then I'd be terribly grateful. Not to mention that I'd love to learn as much as I can from you guys while I'm there and maybe contribute what I can.

>>Hi Frantisek,
>>
>>I've been invited to give a Hack-a-Snack workshop at OHM2013 and I stumbled upon your
 Food Hacking Base! My workshop, which is about simply creatively combining leftover food or idle ingredients into delicious snacks/meals, definitely isn't as involved or experimental as what you guys do and I'm definitely still a novice/amateur but I'd love to learn from and collaborate with you guys while I'm there.
