With the 50th Anniversary of the Edmonton Home & Garden Show right around the corner (it runs from March 22-25), I couldn't be more excited than to check out the Cooking Stage–because duh, I'm a foodie! This years line up consists of a variety of restaurants and chefs, demonstrating anything from vegan french toast to authentic poke bowls, as well as how to use spices from around the world to the art of making a cake. This year I am looking forward to watching the Italian Centre Shop demonstrate how to build your own charcuterie board, because if I'm being honest, my charcuterie board starts and ends with a trip to Safeway!
So if you're looking for something to do this weekend, I'd highly recommend you put on some comfy shoes and head on over to Northlands Expo Centre to check out what our local culinary industry has to offer! Event details below :)
