Here is a round-up of upcoming tasty food events happening this month. We'll continue to update this post as we hear about new events, or after an event has taken place.
2012 BC Healthy Chef Competition – A Recap
The purpose of this event is to help promote healthy eating while raising money for the Mix it Up! campaign, Canadian Cancer Society and the Heart and Stroke Foundation. Chefs representing 10 units were competing against each other by cooking up some tasty entrees and desserts using fruit and vegetables.
Fundraising Dinner at H.A.V.E. Cafe
H.A.V.E. Cafe is the store front of a culinary training program that is designed to provide the community with skills training and opportunities for employment. The acronym stands for Hope, Action, Values and Ethics. Through work, I had the pleasure to attend its very first fundraising dinner last week. This year they've kicked off a fundraising initiative called "Project 374" to raise fund for renovations and the upkeep for the school. The cafe will also be renamed to Cafe 374 soon. Why 374? The cafe/culinary school is located at 374 Powell Street, Vancouver. Chef Alex Chen, who will be representing Canada in Bocuse d'Or in Lyon in 2013, put together the menu for the evening. Chef Alex's dishes were basically a new take on the classics.
Event Recap: Take a Bite benefiting the Take a Hike Foundation
Last week Mr. and I had the opportunity to attend a fundraising event called Take a Bite. Hosted by the Tuesday Night Food and Run Club, it's a foodie event to raise awareness for the Take a Hike – Youth at Risk Foundation. Two local chefs, Trevor Bird from MARKET at Shangri-La and Leah Gamache from Chambar Restaurant, put together the evening's menu and volunteer theirs and their helpers' time for this event.
