Well Seasoned update

QuaaleFALL IS FABULOUS AT WELL SEASONED

Fall is my favourite season for food. The Fraser Valley’s bounty of fresh local produce is in full bloom with apples, corn, beans, beets, broccoli, brussel sprouts, squash and so much more! With all this amazing local food available right in our backyard, it’s hard to resist the urge to get cooking. Not to mention, the fact that the crisp fall air is the perfect weather for making comfort foods like warm, hearty stews, creamy soups and satisfying casseroles.

At Well Seasoned, we’ve doubled up our cooking classes to satisfy your cravings to get cooking this Fall. With regular daytime and evening classes and numerous events and contests, there are plenty of opportunities to pick up some new recipe ideas, ingredients and cooking tips all season long!

Check out our cooking calendar below and book yourself and a friend for a cozy class at Well Seasoned this Fall, you’ll be glad you did!

I hope to see you in the store soon!

KITCHEN SCRAPS with Pierre Lamielle
Thursday October 15th, 2009
7:00pm  $55.00*

We have a few seats left for this special appearance on October 15th with author and blogger Pierre Lamielle, as he presents his new book “Kitchen Scraps”.

Kitchen Scraps is a wicked new cookbook full of comforting recipes that don’t come from a can. And anyone and everyone can make them—with minimal amounts of swearing. Accompanied by hilarious illustrations, the recipes in Kitchen Scraps are easy to follow and are written with Pierre’s irreverent wit. Kitchen Scraps is for people who don’t want to take cooking so seriously but still want to surprise and impress their friends.   Pierre will share his humour, his food and his art supplies as he whips up some dinner and a ton of fun.  This is going to be great, don’t miss out!

BRAS FOR A CAUSE AT WELL SEASONED

Earlier this year, Well Seasoned donated a special “Bra-BBQ” to the Langley Soroptomists for their annual “Bras for a Cause” fundraiser. In addition to our lovely bra design we raffled off a cooking class with Global TV anchor, Steve Darling and House of Q’s Brian Misko for $1,800. The proceeds of which went to local services for women.

Last week we held the class and what a blast it was and for such a great cause!
