Culinary/Cooking Class:
Who: We offer cooking classes’ for those who wish to learn more cooking skills and get some pointers. Like at the Shaw festival we will also have multiple volunteer staff helping our guest.
What: We offer a 45 minute cooking class with our head chefs, for guest ages fifteen and older. We primarily do this in a group setting unlike what is offered at the falls view casino in Niagara Falls Ontario where theirs is primarily a one on one. We can offer you this if this is what you’d prefer for an extra cost. With our top Chefs what we will be cooking is mostly Canadian Cuisine. Also, as most people know, most Canadian cuisine did not originate from Canada but was migrated here from other cultures and countries. During this class setting our chefs will inform you on a little bit of history on the food just as an extra knowledge for you that can be used for an interesting dinner table conversation when you make this at your own place.
When: We will be having 8 classes a day, all year round. They will by reservations primarily, however if there is room a walk in reservation is possible as well.
Why: We offer this for those who wish to become chefs or just better cooks yet aren’t sure how to fully get their food to the next level. Questions on other types of meals can be asked and our chef will do his best to answer all of your questions to your expectations. Also, for those who wish to see both shows that we will be offering in our botanical theater this gives the guest something to do, to pass the time while they wait.
Where: We will have these classes located when you walk in down the hall and on your left. Like at Niagara College’s VEC there is an info desk right as you walk in to help you if needed. We have pl...

Some bird feeder and hundreds of flowers surrounding, and once off the pathway it opens up with flowers going along each side. A twelve-foot brick wall will be surrounding the entre garden breaking away some noise to make you feel as though the city is gone. As well as, at the very far end you will see a stage with some artifacts around it going with today’s play. In front of it is nicely cut grass seating up to ninety five to one hundred and fifteen guest. During rainy days, our employees will be aware of forecast and therefore with our bricks they will connect a giant tent to each wall preventing the rain from ever entering and in this way our guests who bought tickets can still enjoy their evening of theater.
Canning has primarily been perceived as a necessity, but today it has become more of a widespread hobby. Alike the discourse in Foodies, canning has stepped away from traditional restrictions to partake in a certain hobby. Stainsby states in the Vancouver Sun “it’s official. Canning is hip, no longer grandma’s domain.” A trend stems from the search for distinction, but because only a select few lead this search, the result is democratization. The recent popularity of canning is fuelled by a number of conditions, many of which are components of the foodie movement, such as: local, seasonal, organic, exotic and authentic; themes that were all discussed in Foodies. Canning is distinguished from the overall discussion of Foodies due to its universal approachability. Foodi...
Introducing myself to Mrs. Smith the classroom teacher, and Mrs. Brown the teaching assistant; I explained that I will be observing the classroom. Mrs. Smith informed me that the name of the program is County Unified School District First 5 Pre K Academy, there are 12 elementary, 7 schools that have this program; a goal of the program is to have the other 5 elementary schools with the program. They are also part of a few other programs that make this program possible for the students: Color Me Healthy, CATCH, and First 5. Each of these programs have a high impact on the program, they help in their own subject of the program. This Pre k program is offered to students’ age 4-5 years old, and it is based on a first come first served basis.
When you first enter the theater, you are immediately in awe of the strongest aspect of this production: the set. The stage features a life-sized enchanted forest with “tress” as tall as the ceiling and a lit-up backdrop of a twilight sky. The tress would move around throughout the performance to make way for different scenes. In front of your very eyes, an enchanted forest would turn into the outside of a charming house with a lit porch and a well. The twilight sky would turn to a starlit sky and a soft spotlight simulating moonlight would compliment the faint sound of crickets. Suddenly the house and tress move around and you’re in a town with a little cart selling baguettes, or a lush dining room with Victorian wallpaper, a chandelier, and china displayed on the walls. The world shakes once again and now you’re in, inevitably, a ballroom. A white Victorian gate opens up to become the walls of the ballroom, and a white marble bridge and staircase appear for the outside of the castle. Adults and children alike were in awe of the craftsmanship and technology.
America is a capitalist society. It should come to a surprise when we live like this daily. We work for profit. We’ll buy either for pleasure or to sell later for profit. It should come to no surprise that our food is made the same way because we are what we eat. We are capitalist that eat a capitalist meal. So we must question our politics. Is our government system to blame for accepting and encouraging monopolies?

Since before I took this class I had always been attracted to movies or cooking shows. The way food is prepared and the passion that many of the chefs put into their delicious creations. Many of the recipes are part of the person’s culture and they continue to cook these recipes to commemorate an important part of their history. A good example of this is the film Garlic Is As Good As Ten Mothers, garlic being the center of every recipe but it’s of great importance to the different cultures that represented in this film.
Chef Blumenthal was just a teenager who enjoyed fish and chips until he gets a chance to eat at a three star restaurant situated beneath towering cliffs in Provence with his family. None of his family members had experienced anything like before, not just the fancy looking and expensive food but the beauty of decorations, atmosphere surrounding the restaurant, delightful smell of food in the air, and the sheer theatre of waiters carving lamb at the table.

I’ve ended up as a cook through a series of serendipitous events, but I think that no matter what I would have ended up doing, I would have ultimately made it about bringing people together — about fostering community, fostering goodwill. Cooking is a very straightforward way of doing that, because eating is such a social act. People, by their very nature, want to come together around the table and eat. People are hungry for an excuse to come together and eat — to come together and do anything,
American culture is changing dramatically. In some areas it’s a good thing, but in other areas, like our food culture, it can have negative affects. It is almost as if our eating habits are devolving, from a moral and traditional point of view. The great America, the land of the free and brave. The land of great things and being successful, “living the good life.” These attributes highlight some irony, especially in our food culture. Is the American food culture successful? Does it coincide with “good living”? What about fast and processed foods? These industries are flourishing today, making record sales all over the globe. People keep going back for more, time after time. Why? The answer is interestingly simple. Time, or in other words, efficiency. As people are so caught up in their jobs, schooling, sports, or whatever it may be, the fast/processed food industries are rapidly taking over the American food culture, giving people the choice of hot

Have you ever tried to cook a delicious meal to impress your friends or family members? Most Americans cook despite the challenge associated with it. It takes courage and bravery to be a chef. An individual must have a passion for cooking and preparing meals from recipes. An experienced chef must have a lot of creativity on the plate and knowledge on the field. However, being a professional chef comes with many obstacles such as, standing in the kitchen for long hours can cause health problems, or the amount of stress a chef deals with can be overwhelmed, and the unhealthy eating habits that leads to overweight and over-eating.
The movie “The Hundred Foot Journey” is a great representation of different cultures interacting as well as the different food habits. The movie is based on an Indian family who moves to Italy and wants to open an Indian restaurant across street from a famous Italian restaurant in the small town. The Kadam family wants to bring the Indian cuisine to a new culture and share some of their values. They have trouble expanding their culinary delights to the public because Marquerite the sous-chef doesn’t want any competition. Throughout the movie, secrets on certain dishes are shared and tricks to improve the certain style of food is greatly appreciated by both restaurant chefs.
Walking into the theatre, handing my ticket to the ticket lady, I watched as workers scurried about trying to make sure everything was perfect for the upcoming concert. Chrome edged boxes were stacked in a couple of corners with the occasional person grabbing something instrumental out of one. In the adjacent corner of the building there were Jars of Clay souvenirs. There were posters, CD's, clothing, key chains, and lots of other visually appealing items on the tables.
