I am super excited to let everyone know that Eat Alberta 2014 is coming back for a 4th season, this year’s theme is “Seed the Possibilities”. Tickets start selling tomorrow Tuesday March 25. For those that have never gone to Eat Alberta let me tell you a little more about it. Eat Alberta is a great place for anyone who, like me, loves food! It’s a one day, workshop-style conference where you will have some hands-on learning, food tastings, and learn about local and regional Alberta foods. You will also have the opportunity to meet and learn from local farmers, chefs, foragers, botanists and bakers!

Taking a quick look at the sessions available on the Eat Alberta 2014 website, there are exciting sessions this year such as learning how to make jowl bacon from Chad Moss, hands-on nose to tail butchery from Elyse Chatterton, pumpkin ravioli making from Kathryn Joel, making scratch soup from Elaine Wilson, making curries with Michelle Peter-Jones, and breaking down an entire chicken from Nevin Fenske of Drift food truck. 

The keynote speaker this year will be John Schneider from Gold Forest Grains. Tickets for Eat Alberta are $150 each and will include everything from the keynote, 4 different sessions, meals (breakfast & lunch), and the mixer at the end of the day. You can purchase tickets starting tomorrow Tuesday March 25 on the website www.eatalberta.ca.
