CALL FOR LOCAL CHEFS: FEASTS OF COQUITLAM
Coquitlam Heritage is now accepting applications from cooks based in the Coquitlam area for our Feasts of Coquitlam series! Feasts of Coquitlam is a series that invites cooks (professional or home cooks) from different cultures to showcase their cuisines through a cooking demonstration and talk in our 1909 heritage house museum.
The event is 3 hours long and includes:
An audience of up to 10 guests.
A cooking demonstration.
Informal talk with the guests about the foods presented.
Time for everyone to sit down afterwards and enjoy a meal together.
Selected cooks will receive:
Full access to our kitchen, along with cooking and serving supplies (though you are also welcome to bring your own)
We will provide a drink for the session if you do not include one
$150 honourarium
Full reimbursement for any money spent on ingredients
To apply, please send Emily Zhang at ezhang@coquitlamheritage.ca a proposal covering the following points:
Your general background and what aspects of your cultural cuisine you would like to present.
A small menu of 2 - 4 dishes (can include drinks, snacks, desserts, etc.) that you would have during your session.
Note: The demonstration does not need to cover every dish, in the past cooks would demonstrate one or two main dishes and bring extra drinks and snacks for participants to taste
General estimate of ingredient costs
We will be choosing 3 cooks to run sessions in June, July, and August, please state in your email if there is a specific month you would prefer, if applicable.
