Slow food for chefs

According to Slow Food philosophy consumers are part of the food production chain because they make the purchasing choices and create demand. In fact consumers are considered co-producers because of their role. Chefs are also an important part of the food production chain. They are at the forefront of culinary trends, they educated us about food through their restaurants and they, too, create demand for food products. In BC, we are lucky to have many chefs who are passionate about sourcing the freshest, local ingredients. And more and more, our local chefs are forming relationships with local producers - a happy and healthy collaboration yielding tasty results.
