Time to relax…
Summer’s here! And I hope it is a time for taking a break from our busy lives and maybe hopping off to another province or country – or exploring our own province. In this issue we have plenty of ideas and suggestions for places to visit to the west and the south, and I hope they inspire you to get out and discover a new favourite destination.
In the summer we do take time to step back, regroup, and think ahead, planning strategies, themes, future articles, and events for the next few months – and we have two new dates for your diary! On August 20 we’re taking over Telus Spark for an exclusive and delicious evening for you to experience the interactive exhibition ‘Banquet’, where you’ll use all five senses to delve deeper into food, its culture, and the science behind it all – followed by food from their chef, with drinks! Reserve your place at sparkscience.ca/culinaire-magazine
And we can announce that our Edmonton Treasure hunt is on Sunday September 14, and it’s now open for registration! For one of the most fun and rewarding discovery days of the year, sign up as a team of two or solo, at culinairemagazine.ca/treasure-hunt.
July is filled with the Alberta Beverage Awards for us, judging hundreds and hundreds of wines, beers, spirits, premixed cocktails, and everything in between, then tallying up all the scores (a very sizeable task too!) to be able to announce the winners of around 75 different categories of drinks in time for you to stock up your home bars, cellars, and fridges for autumn and winter!
And let’s not forget Food Day Canada on August 2 – it’s a day for all of us across the country to celebrate those who grow, raise, catch, and make our food: our farmers, our ranchers, our fishermen, our chefs, and our home cooks too. So please raise your hands and shout out in support, and shop Canadian, cook Canadian, and dine Canadian on August 2 this year!
I hope it’s a wonderful summer for you, filled with deliciousness wherever these months take you.
Until September, Cheers,
