Cooking Stage at BC Home & Garden Show Feb 20-24

The 42nd annual BC Home + Garden Show, is taking place on February 20-24 at BC Place. I am truly excited to be one of the Emcee’s for the Home Cooking stage at this year show. There are several of our top local chefs participating leading cooking demonstrations including chefs Ned Bell, Chuck Currie and Victor Bongo, plus grill masters Brian Misko, Angie Quaale and Ron “Rockin’ Ronnie” Shewchuk.

Familiar fare is off the table at the Home Cooking Stage, where popular chefs like Ned Bell, Chuck Currie and Victor Bongo, plus grill masters Ron “Rockin’ Ronnie” Shewchuk, Brian Misko and Angie Quaale, will dish out their personal recipes for easy family meals and entertaining.
