Calçots (pronounced 'cal-shots') are a Spanish spring tradition of
eating charred leeks dipped in a tangy romesco (red pepper) sauce. People eat them with their hands, dangling the whole dipped leek into their mouths and chasing it with Spanish wine, of course. They're my one of my favourite delicacies from Barcelona. Try them for the first time at Chef Heathers Spanish feast, details below...

THE HUNTER AND THE FORAGER
by Chef Megan McCulloch and Chef Jody Peck
Sat, April 3, 6:30pm
Back for more cooking by wild demand, huntress and chef Jody Peck from the Peace River Valley and her partner in cooking Chef Megan McCulloch from San Fransisco create a multi-course wild menu unlike anything you've ever tasted. Chef Jody as always will tell us stories of hunting in BC's wilderness, and Megan will be foraging her way North from San Fransisco for some more treasures on your plate, both an unbelievable
treat.
From scout magazine, "At Jody Peck‘s table, wild game is the main course and the conversation centrepiece. The local cook is impassioned by a respect for the ingredients that she owes to generations of living on the land. In the kitchen (or over the fire) this translates to a “full-circle food experience” that she hopes creates a bond between diners, their environment and the food she hunts, forages and
processes.
