Winter Warmth Part II

EAT

During the darkest time of the year, there is a great need to connect, celebrate and share. The Winter Warmth dinner, hosted by HOLD and prepared by Tonya from The Well Woman, did just that. A three course plant-based meal was thoughtfully made using many local ingredients and then beautifully displayed, blurring the line between food and art. We visited farms and collected winter greenery, which filled the space at HOLD with some winter cheer and the warm glow from candles burned into the night.

Winter Warmth Part I

GATHER

In preparation for the Winter Warmth dinner at HOLD prepared by Tonya of The Well Woman, we spent an afternoon picking greenery in the snow, visiting a local farm to gather ginger, sweet potatoes and cabbage and (just for fun) had a quick visit with the endearing alpacas over at Hinterland. 
As a native to Toronto, it was fun taking Tonya to some of my favourite spots on the coast.  She was also able to experience the island in a way few visitors do, with a fresh blanket of snow.
