Osteoporosis Canada Presents the 5th Annual Bone Appétit Chef Challenge

Save the Date!  Osteoporosis Canada is holding our 5th Annual Bone Appétit Chef Challenge on October 21, 2011 at The Old Mill Inn & Spa, one of Toronto’s most beautiful and historic venues.

This premiere event features four celebrated local chefs – Lynn Crawford, Christian Pritchard, Anthony Rose, and Donna Dooher – competing to be crowned the Bone Appétit Chef Challenge Champion.  Each chef plans and prepares a “bone friendly” dish for the event live on our stage, using calcium and vitamin D rich foods in his or her recipe to highlight the ways in which we can enjoy tasty food that also helps protect our bones.

After each chef prepares his or her recipe on the kitchen stage, the audience has the opportunity to sample the dish at one of the four tasting stations located around the elegant venue.  At the end of the evening, each member of the audience has the opportunity to cast a ballot for their favourite dish, and the chef of the winning dish is named the Bone Appétit Chef Champion.

In addition to the culinary demonstrations by the chefs and the scrumptious dishes they have designed for the audience, we will also host an open bar along with several tasting stations featuring a wide variety of Canadian cheeses, bread, dips and spreads.  There will be plenty of other activities for guests, including an exciting silent auction packed with fabulous prizes.

Make sure to mark the date – Friday, October 21st, 2011, 6:30pm to 11:00pm – in your calendars and keep watching osteoporosis.ca for more information and how to get your hands on the limited number of tickets to this extraordinary event.
