What's New!
There will be no meeting in February.
Our March meeting will be held on Tuesday March 16 at 7pm instead of the usual third Wed. of the month. We have been invited to have our meeting at Montgomery’s Inn. If you haven’t had the pleasure of seeing the Inn before it is a great opportunity to see one of Toronto’s Historic Museums. Sue Pye one of our members who is also the Food Services Coordinator and Historical Interpreter at the Inn has arranged for a tour that day. Laura Bryan another one of our members who is a certified Tea Sommelier will be doing a tea tasting. There is ample free parking or you can come via TTC by taking the Bloor/Danforth subway line to the Islington station and then take the Islington 37 northbound bus to Dundas. The Inn is located on the south east corner of Dundas and Islington at 4709 Dundas St. West.
In April we are also venturing from our regular schedule and are invited to go to George Brown College at 300 Adelaide Street East between Sherburne and Jarvis. On Wed. April 7th at 6.30 sharp our member Daniel Gonzalez has organized a demo sponsored by Pre Gel America. Pastry Chef Frederic Monti will be doing frozen desserts and modern pastries. Egon Keller has offered to pay the $10.00 per person fee to the Tastes of Tomorrow student run club for our members to attend.
