Food Network Canada Celebrity chefs to host PEI Fall Flavours Festival events
A star-studded lineup that featured some of Canada’s top celebrity chefs created mouth-watering dishes featuring Prince Edward Island culinary products during this past year’s Fall Flavours Festival.
Prince Edward Island’s land is rich and generous, and each fall offers up an abundance of fruits, vegetables, meats, and dairy. The Island is equally famous for seafood, harvested from its surrounding waters. September is Fall Flavours Festival month. In 2012, there were more than 75 events to choose from, including Le Festin Acadien Avec Homard, Beef n’ Blues, Picnic in the Park, Lobster Party on the Beach and the PEI International Shellfish Festival. Don’t miss Chef On Board and Applelicious: Meal in the Field. New events for 2012 included The Great Island Grilled Cheese Challenge and Savour Victoria! Culinary Adventures had participants shucking oysters, wine pairing, creating culinary delights, and much more.
In 2012, we were pleased to welcome such world-renowned celebrity Chefs as Michael Smith, Anna Olson, Susur Lee, Mark McEwan, Corbin Tomaszeski, Carl Heinrich and special guest Bob Blumer as they attended the annual Fall Flavours Festival last September on Prince Edward Island!
We were delighted to have these great chefs take part in Fall Flavours 2012... they were awesome!
