Fall Flavours Nature spends all spring and summer growing the food we enjoy on Prince Edward island. Now in the Fall come take part in Fall Flavours Food Festival where Chef Michael Smith along with chefs across the Island host over 150 events over 10 days. Many of the events sold out last year and drew praise from all corners. To name just a few of the activity choices in 2010: learn our Seaweed Secrets, “Tong and Shuck” for PEI’s famous and delicious oysters, create organic herb oils, sign up for Culinary Boot Camp, study Smoking & Curing, or get tickets to very fine meals served by the province’s most talented chefs. www.gentleisland.com/experiences |
