Eat to the Beat is a magical event for foodies that brings together 60 female chefs cooking for a great cause. Last week I attended this event at Roy Thompson Hall, and I’m happy to say that it remains my favourite foodie event of the year! All of the money raised from the event goes to support the Willow Breast & Hereditary Cancer Support .
Each chef has their own station set up, and you can walk around in a delicious circle of food as far as the eye can see. It’s impossible to name all of the dishes, so here are a few.
Ontario lake trout with autumn quinoa from Rose Reisman Catering
Malt Salt Fish on a chip with lemon confit remoulade, beer batter bits, pickled carrots & pea shoots from the King Edward Hotel
Scone Bite with caramelized onions & bacon from Baker and Scone
Chicken and Waffles from the Drake Hotel
Ricotta & Roasted Red Pepper on Ace Bakery Bread
Rosewood Wines
Smoked Salmon with wasabi creme fraiche & peach jam from George
Chor Muang (spicy flower dumplings with ground chicken) from Pai
Cupcakes with handmade fruit chocolate from Lollicakes
Valrhona cream puff in progree from Scaramouche
Chocolate Nutella crunch cream cake from Willow Cakes and Pastries
I always admire the amazing costumes worn and sometimes even made by breast cancer survivors.
Although the event is now over, you can still support Willow by donating at http://www.willow.org
