best “long hot

recent history,
it is now time
to think about
fall. All of us at
The Gourmet
Warehouse are
excited to see the
fall fire up with
our great
lineup of cooking classes,
including local author Rosie Daykin, who will be
cooking from her glossy new cookbook Butter Baked
Goods. Dessert lovers will rejoice! More info below.
I want to thank everyone who attended our 2nd
annual Chocolate Challenge benefiting the Strathcona
Backpack program. The event was a great success and
for those who missed out we hope to see you next year.
I look forward to seeing you all in store as we stew,
braise and roast our way into fall and winter.
Who’s Popping Up Again?
Well us, of course. We went to West Vancouver last year and this
year we’re visiting Hycroft Manor for Christmas at Hycroft! We’ll
be bringing all kinds of things, from gift baskets to stocking
stuffers, not to mention sweets and treats that will satisfy everyone’s tastes. We so hope to see you there.
