A Taste of Canada
Wed, Sept 3rd 6:00 - 9:00PM

On September 3rd, join PICA’s students and Chef-Instructors for A Taste of Canada, a one-night-only pop-up dinner celebrating regional flavours, local ingredients, and the first signs of early autumn.

The menu moves from fresh bannock with cultured local honey butter to duck confit croquettes with pickled BC blackberries, BC mussels with smoked bacon and cider, Montreal-smoked BC bison, and pan-roasted Pacific lingcod with sweet corn velouté. To finish, Tarte Fine aux Pommes with BC cider caramel, honey crème fraîche, and toasted oat crumble brings the evening home. Chef-led and student-executed, it’s a thoughtful, seasonal showcase of Canadian cooking through the lens of PICAchef’s next generation of chefs.
