The Foodie Series - Edible Amour: A Culinary Journey of Love, Scents, and Vanilla

Ready to experience the tastes, scents and culinary traditions of love? Be treated to a culinary journey of flavors and aromas of some very romantic fare prepared by Assiniboine Park's own Executive Chef Heiko Duehrsen, complete with carefully selected drink pairings from the bar at Gather. As you sample the dishes, Chef Heiko will be demonstrating how to prepare them in our state-of-the-art teaching kitchen so you can recreate them at home.
In addition, you will learn about the fascinating world of some of our most romantic flora from one of our plant experts at The Leaf.
