Feast! Vancouver Includes Michelin Chefs and Les Dames d’Escoffier BC Chapter
I’m excited about the lineup of chefs for Feast! Vancouver. Many events do not have enough women chefs and when I initially saw the lineup, I got involved to rally some women to participate and now we have way better representation. I’ll be there at Performance Arts on April 15 with the Les Dames d’Escoffier table talking about what Dames are and what we do. Here is the news of the whole festival from their release.
The highly anticipated culinary festival welcomes the star-studded lineup of participating chefs from April 11 to 15. FEAST! A portion of FEAST! Vancouver’s ticket sales will benefit the BC Cancer Foundation. Canadian chefs get together to celebrate our diverse culinary talents through collaborative dinners, expert classes, and more.
