The 2012 Market Dinner schedule was released, always one of our busiest booking days of the year. And with our expansion to Edible Canada this past summer, it only made sense to invite chefs from across this vast country to participate in our Market Dinner Series.
Guest chefs from our own BC backyard will join us, as will visiting chefs from the Prairies, Ontario and Quebec. National celebrities (including Anna Olson, Connie DeSousa, Andrea Nicholson, Derek Dammann), and local talent (including Vikram Vij, James Walt, Ned Bell, Thomas Haas) are headed to Granville Island. All are coming to represent Canadian cuisine to the fullest, and each Chef will prepare a gourmet, seasonal feast in our custom designed private demonstration dining room at Edible Canada at the Market.
We are also expanding on the Market Dinner theme with a number of signature evenings. Our popular Whisky Dinners with Cask Strength return (with more dates to satisfy demand!) as well as Alfresco Summer Dinner Evenings in stunning locations around Greater Vancouver.
As with all of our popular Market Dinners, guests enjoy a multicourse seasonally inspired dinner prepared right in front of your eyes. Our sommelier chooses select and often rare BC and Canadian wine, beer and spirits to pair with your meal, and guests are offered a 10% discount in the Edible Canada Retail Store and on future tours booked at the event. Since the goal of the evening is just to relax and enjoy the experience, we will email you a copy of the recipes and wine pairings from the night.
Each Market Dinner is limited to only 24 guests. Gift certificates are available, as are multipack savings packages. Confirmed dates are listed below – more chefs and dates will be released over the coming months. If you’d like to be added to our mailing list and be first to know about dates, please email us and let us know.
