Culinary experts exhibit the best in kitchenware, cooking, and entertaining, indoctrinating foodies with the necessary information for hosting a successful dinner party or re-roofing a gingerbread house. Learn the secrets of blending Indian spices with Preena Chauhan (Friday from 6 to 7 p.m.) or how to craft lunar similes in Made in Italy with chef David Rocco (Sunday from noon to 1 p.m.). Those opting for the Delicious! opening night party get to observe the cuisine-conjuring skills of some of the top names in the comestibles industry, including chef Pat Newton and Chef Corbin, Dinner Party Wars. Throughout the evening, guests are encouraged to partake in cocktail and gourmet food samples whipped up by notable food caterers. Attendees can peruse the website ahead of time for a full schedule of events and a gallery chronicling the evolution of Chef Boyardee's mustache.
Interior Design Show West
Going on nine years, designers and aficionados from across British Columbia and North America have gathered in Vancouver to trade news, ideas, and inspiration. Hundreds of vetted exhibitors—from retail shops to designer brands—display new products and talk shop from behind as many booths. In The District, artists sell unique household items from pillows and earrings to felt bowls. In Future Masters Vol. 4, area design students forecast the future of the industry; Studio North celebrates established but young Canadian talent. In between shopping, visitors can listen in on talks delivered by industry luminaries, including Tommy Smythe, Brian Gluckstein, and Kelly Deck.
