Ace Bakery Best Sandwich In Canada Contest

A friend had brought this contest to my attention and I new I was in!
Rules are to use any bread supplied by Ace Bakery to construct your best Sandwich and submit your recipe with a picture.
This is my Sandwich- The Doc’s Advocate

Roasted Turkey with Maple Quinoa Aoili

 I chose the Olive Oval loaf to carry my sandwich and lined it with arugula, edam cheese, gala apple, herb oven roasted turkey and of course the maple quinoa aoili.

This sandwich shouts Healthy, and it’s taste packs a punch.

 

Hopes for numero uno!

Lure of an Interactive Dinner party

Sometimes there is more to good food than just it’s taste and presentation alone.

How about exploring the behind the scenes of what’s going on in a dinner party by Chef Sheridan.



You now have the opportunity to see the steps, ingredients and finesse which goes into creating a memorable meal.
 An Interactive Dinner party is set on the same premise as a standard dinner party. The chef is responsible to grocery shop, cook, clean and plan a menu exclusively for your enjoyment. However with an interactive dinner you have a front row seat to follow along and engage in meal preparation as much or as little as your desire.
 Each couple is provided recipes to follow along with as we prepare the evening’s menu. Often a recipe is chosen from my cookbook “Healthy Family Recipes” to mix into menu, and of course a signed copy of my cookbook is provided to each couple.
Not only do you have the opportunity to learn some new recipes and methods of cooking, but also hear about the nutritional benefits of the meal being constructed * Perfect for guests with dietary restraints or those looking improve the quality of their everyday meals.

An Interactive Dinner party will begin in the late afternoon, where I arrive at your home with all the essentials for the evening including groceries, cooking utensils, plate ware and recipes. After a quick kitchen setup, the menu is introduced; going into details of locally sourced ingredients, unique foods and the concepts of why the menu is exclusive to you and your guests. We then cook your menu of a starter, main course and dessert.

Interactive dinner parties starting at 185$ per person for groups of 4-8 guests.

Add a wine pairing to your main course for 150$ and 50$ for each additional bottle. Explore the wine and understand the basics of food and wine pairing.
Capture the experience by adding the photo package. A professional photographer will snap photos of the events throughout the evening; collecting photos of you and your guests caught in expression, as well as the finalized plated food.  Also presented on customized disc with decorative case. Valued at 300$

Spots are limited before the Christmas Season. Book today!
