Savourous Québec Local Produce Summer Package [2/10/2004]

Lodging services in a history-laden hotel building, cuisine workshops, introduction to local produce, strolling along Québec City’s rue Saint-Paul, touring Place Royale, Vieux-Port, these are the basic ingredients of a summer holiday package offered by Les Artistes de la Table starting at the end of June. In combining Québec heritage and local produce-based cuisine experiences, Les Artistes de la Table have concocted a holiday package that is sure to please off-beat Québec City travel enthusiasts. Lodging services are provided by the Hôtel Dominion 1912, located in the Vieux-Port historic district. Starting at 9:30 on the first morning, cuisine lessons take place in the former Molson Bank, dating from 1850, where Les Artistes de la Table are located. Under the guidance of an « artiste de la table », chefs-in-training will prepare a gourmet meal for later enjoyment. Package includes recipes, ingredients, tips and above all, lots of fun! Afternoon is reserved for scouting the surroundings. On the next day, Les Artistes de la Table’s own chef will guide the group through Marché du Vieux-Port, where local farmers’ stands brim over with freshly picked fruit and vegetables, maple products and countless other sweets and treats. Then it’s back to the classroom to enjoy the morning’s purchases, accompanied with a glass of wine. Capping the day, nothing less than a wine tasting event presided over by Mr. Robert Plamondon, a well-known oenologist. On the last day, everyone gathers at Les Artistes de la Table for a sampling of Canadian and Québec cheeses, accompanied by various wine and Port selections, followed by a true-to-tradition English Tea service, complete with scones and cucumber sandwiches.
