Aboriginal Fine Dining – 2010 Olympic Games

Good Life Vancouver inside scoop – The Kanata Cuisine Aboriginal Experience feast with wine pairings promotion!

Call Theresa at 604-831-1215 and pay half price if you tell her Good Life Vancouver’s Cassandra Anderton sent you: Instead of $245 per person pay  $122.50. 

The BC Aboriginal Culinary Team has partnered with Nk’Mip Winery to bring Vancouver a 2010 Winter Olympic Game culinary adventure.  This seven course meal with select wine pairings features dishes from Chef Ben Genaille, the instructor at Vancouver Community College’s Abolriginal Culinary program, paired with Nk’Mip’s select wines.

Held at the Native Education College’s Longhouse on 285 East 5th Ave in Vancouver, the evening begines with music by Tzo’Kam, performers from the Lil’wat Nation.  Partial proceed from this venture will fund the Aboriginal Culinary Team’s trip to the IKA Culinary Olympics, held in  Erfurt in 2012.

I attended on February 17 for a sampling – pictures below.
