Bowfeast on Bowen Island
Date: September 29 (Saturday) Location: Bowen Island Website: www.onedaybowen.ca |
THE LEAVES ARE FALLING, the apples are getting plump… time to Bowfeast! With help from Bowen Island Municipalities Grants-in-Aid program, we’re sponsoring the first annual Bowfeast in just two weeks, on Saturday, September 29. It’s one day when we all try to eat as locally as possible, celebrate the harvest and honour our island farmers. It’s fun. It’s food. What’s not to like? We’re suggesting that everyone on Bowen gather together friends and family and feast SLOW-food-style on Sat., Sept. 29 — each at his own house, in his own way. If you can, put a 100-percent-from-Bowen dinner on the table. If you can’t, go all-BC or regional (BC, AB, Washington, Oregon). Try a Bowen apple crisp and roasted chicken, with squash, beet salad and a Salt Spring Island Pinot Noir. Cocoa West Chocolatier truffles make a mouth-watering dessert. If the weather cooperates, you might even want to move the table out under a tree and take in the last scents of summer. Pass around a few recipes, if the mood strikes you. |
