It has been one of my favourite food events each year for over 16 years and this year the annual tasty event took place at UBC Farm for its 32nd Annual Harvest festival.
I was honored to be able to attend their VIP session again; this year they provided the VIP guests a chance to be an early bird and enjoy tasting the food and drink ahead of everyone else. We also received one of their Feast Cedar Boards to use and take home.
Here are some of the highlights:
Roasted foraged mushrooms on puff pastry with onion, soubise, aged padano, house pickles @apronyvr by chef @clement.kitchen and team
Whipped stracciatella with Bayshore harvested honey and lemon zest with confit heirloom tomatoes, porcini dust, in house grown cultivator herbs on a sesame crisp @htastinglounge by chefs @savory.andrii and @chef.srutherford
@sayitaintsoda Calamnsi soda and other flavours
Drumstick ice cream and all the other @kizzysmacarons flavours
Caprese Pizza @niclipizzeria
Selection of cheeses @naturalpasturescheese
Carrot cake with beets @firehousecafealdergrove
@seaciderhouse non-alc ciders as well as their alcohol ciders
@ayapachabc corn bite
Chocolate twists @atome.bakery
Vegan peach & cream ice cream @earnesticecream
@thesaucepantry pesto sauces and bites
Strawberry shortcake @hazels.icecream
@doughnutlove.ca donut holes
Other spots that I didn’t try included Sausages and pickles @chopandcheww @vumamifoods flavour bombs and others.
There was live music for all to enjoy along with a silent auction with great items to bid on.
Watch for when tickets go on sale for next years festival.
