The more you know about your food the more you will enjoy it. I believe there is a ‘moral’ taste of food, if you know what went into producing it (socially and environmentally) your perception of what it will taste like is heightened. And the best way to appreciate good food is to grow it yourself and prepare it for friends and family – tell the story of food. Chef Andrew Hewson, SAIT Culinary School, Calgary, Alberta

Visiting a culinary school should be a tasty experience and last Friday’s tour was no different. Except we were outside in the garden tasting instead of inside in the kitchen.

Teacher’s from a Calgary elementary school were on a PD day and later in the afternoon apprentices from the culinary school planted the veggie garden. Watch for my Calgary Herald article next friday May 31, 2013 for the full interview.
