On Monday, September 21 at 6:30 p.m., author and chef Jeff Crump, formerly of Lumiere, Chez Panisse and The Fat Duck, presents his book, Earth To Table. He will demonstrate recipes that celebrate great food while being earth friendly. Wine for the evening will be sponsored by Farmstead Wines. The cost of the evening is $105.00.

In Season by well-known UK author Sarah Raven combines gardening with eating seasonally in one beautiful and informative book. In Season weaves stories, tips and recipes into a lush volume on how to grow and eat a bounty of fresh produce year round. On Thursday, September 24 at 6:30 p.m., Chef Glenys Morgan shows guests how to make the most of fresh produce every season and how to feature fresh vegetables, herbs and fruit as the centrepiece of every meal. Tickets are $105.00.
