Jenna Noel of Edible Austin: What’s in Your Fridge Friday?
Associate publisher and art director Jenna Noel has been on board since the beginning, helping publisher and all-around sustainable-food-powerhouse Marla Camp not only put out issues four times a year but host countless events promoting the local food community.
Eat Local Week, which starts with a party from 6 to 8 p.m. tonight at BookPeople, is Edible Austin’s signature event series, which benefits Urban Roots, a local nonprofit that helps teens by getting them involved with growing food and either giving it away or selling it at local farmers’ markets.
Check Edible Austin’s events page for details on the activities, including tomorrow’s Urban Farm Bicycle Tour, a screening of “Fresh” featuring farmer Joel Salatin from “The Omnivore’s Dilemma” and Sunday’s Drink Local Contest. There’s something for everyone, from ice skating at Whole Foods to fancy dinners, a coffee festival and even a showing of “Julie and Julia” with Austinite Julie Powell at the Drafthouse.
It’s not surprising that Noel’s fridge is packed with local food gems: Full Quiver raw milk cheese, Dai Due mustard, Kocurek Family charcuterie, satsumas from her parents’ house in Louisiana and a growler of coffee from Coop Coffee. (When she’s not tweeting as @edibleaustin, she’s shaking cappucellos and pouring coffee with Tipsy Texans David Alan and Joe Eifler at their Coop Coffee tent at the Sunset Valley Farmers’ Market on Saturday mornings.)
What three things are always in your fridge? Topo Chico, always boudin in the freezer, and coffee
What’s your favorite condiment? Harvest Time Mayhaw Jelly or SASS sesame garlic dressing
What’s your favorite food you wish you could get from a local source? I wish I could get my dad’s cooking fresh in Austin. That’s why I usually have his gumbo, jambalaya or pork chop spaghetti in the freezer. It’s nice to have a taste of home every so often.
