A Celebration of the Culinary Arts
PRESERVING THE FUTURE
At Okanagan College
Date and time to be confirmed
A Stimulating Evening of Entertainment,
Artisanal Food and Refreshments
The great press baron Lord Northcliffe used to tell his journalists that four subjects could be relied on for abiding public interest: crime, love, money and food. Only the last of these is fundamental and universal. Food, moreover, has a good claim to be considered the world's most important subject. It is what matters most to most people for most of the time.
It is with that inspiration, and in light of the continuing excellence of the artisanal food and beverage producers in the Valley, that the Okanagan Institute has planned a very special event for the evening - Culinaria: Preserving the Future.
 The first Culinaria, held on October 2008 and April 2009, hosted 65 people each who enjoyed presentations about the artisanal food and drink produced in the Okanagan, listened to uplifting music, and savoured five courses of culinary delights. It was a unique and remarkable event, and the reviews were universally positive.
Writer and local food champion Karin Wilson, and her guest speakers will take us on a spirited
and insightful tour of the Okanagan's culinary delights. We will then be eating and drinking our way through a delicious multi-course meal prepared under the direction of the gifted Culinary Arts faculty of the College.
The artisanal producers who will be providing the food and drink to this celebration are the most creative and dedicated in the Valley.
