GREENLIGHT: Holly Schmidt & Chef Alex McNaughton Prep For “Savour” In Burnaby

One of the most enjoyable pleasures of the city is the abundance of food that grows all around us. How delightful is it for us to be able to feast on all the tasty things that grow in our own backyard! In the first of a three part-series, The Moveable Feast is featuring an edible event called Savoury this Thursday at the Burnaby Art Gallery in collaboration with the BC Arts Council and the City of Burnaby.

Holly Schmidt is the artist who is spearheading the event as part of a larger project that hosts long table garden dine-outs, workshops, and youth programs. In collaboration with urban forager and underground chef Alexander McNaughton, they hope to gather people over food in a purposeful way – to get them thinking and talking about broader issues around urban agriculture, food production and consumption in a convivial, well decorated space.

Savoury will begin with a walk through the gardens and end with three delicious courses at a long table. To register, call the Burnaby Art Gallery at 604-297-4422. The recommended donation is $15.
