Clark sat yesterday with Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall at a dinner that celebrated the Nation’s Table. The group indulged in culinary creations based on the fresh, seasonal and organic diversity of distinctly Canadian products.

The honour also included an invitation for Clark to sit on a Canadian Advisory Committee for future Governor General Awards. These awards are given to outstanding contributions to arts, literature, sports, humanities and sciences. Clark will assist the committee going forward in selecting recipients for awards concerning the arts as they relate to culinary talent and products from around the country.

C Restaurant made a splash at the Vancouver Aquarium with the debut of its new cookbook, C Food.

Over 200 guests came out in support of C’s highly-anticipated book launch, celebrating with champagne and canapés as they admired cleverly displayed copies of C Food submerged in fish tanks. Keeping with the ocean-friendly theme, a scuba diver wowed guests by diving into the largest tank to retrieve the first-ever copy of C Food.

To celebrate the release of the book, C Chef de Cuisine, Quang Dang, has created a six –course tasting menu inspired by the recipes inside. For $128, guests will receive a copy of the book as well as a chance to savour items like Chilled Fennel Consommé (page 22) and Honey Glazed Sablefish, a combination of two recipes (page 32 and 60).
