Organizers of the Brewery and the Beast food festival have unveiled an interactive online program that offers weekly live cooking and libation lessons with some of the best chefs and bartenders in the country.
The Homeschool Series was designed to satiate fans of the popular Victoria food festival while supporting the restaurant industry, which has been hard hit during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The interactive online series 鈥� which allows participants to ask questions in real time 鈥� will offer step-by-step instruction for a feature cocktail recipe and unique culinary dish through livestream video. Each episode costs $10.
Thursday鈥檚 instalment, which will be available at 6 p.m. to those who register at , features executive chef Nick Nutting and bartender Ken Gifford from Tofino鈥檚 award-winning Wolf in the Fog restaurant. Future guests in the Homeschool Series include representatives from Roy鈥檚 Korean Kitchen (Calgary), Elisa (Vancouver) and the Vancouver-based Toptable Group of restaurants.
Brewery and the Beast is currently set for Sept. 27 at Royal Athletic Park, but it is unclear if it will be held this year. Advice from provincial health officials is being monitored closely, according to organizers.
