"This event sounds exciting and interesting, and I am drawn to the depth it dives into around the passion behind cookbooks," - Anna Olson
 
"Cookbooks are an amazing pairing of usefulness - worth what they cost for the inspiration and guidance they provide cooks and bakers, meanwhile telling the stories of individuals, families, communities, in fact, the world, not through battles and politics, but what’s simmering in the kitchen, and enjoyed at the table," – Elizabeth Baird
 
Our complimentary Long Table Lunch in the award-winning Fort York Visitor Centre, will showcase a menu created from the cookbooks of our workshop authors.
 
Participants get to choose a workshop with one of the following Canadian greats: David Wolfman, Claire Tansey, Tara O'Brady, Matt Basile, Afrim Pristine, Pat Crocker, Emily Richards, or Elizabeth Baird with Bridget Wranich.
 
Price: $125 +HST. Price includes welcome refreshments, lunch, and a one hour workshop. Each workshop participant will receive a signed copy of the workshop leader's cookbook.   Books will also be available for purchase.
