About Passions<\/strong>
\nThe history of Passions dates back to 2002 when a small charity cooking class was held at Barbara-Jo\u2019s Books to Cooks. A year later in 2003, the event was moved to the Dr. Peter Centre and christened \u201cPassions.\u201d Organized by Vancouver food media personality, Nathan Fong, the inaugural event featured nine chefs, 100 attendees and raised $7000. Under Nathan\u2019s continued stewardship, Passions has since tripled in size and has become one of Vancouver\u2019s most popular food and wine events. The 2012 event featured 24 chefs, 300 attendees, and raised over $100,000. In total, Passions has raised $900,000 since 2003.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
