One of our most popular events is Sample Day (and every day is Sample Day).  We regularly have our vendors' products on offer for taste-testing - not much more to say than that - come on in to try something new!

The Chefs’ House Restaurant, operated by George Brown College, presents:
“Chef’s Call” Dinner: Chef Robin Pradhan from Rocky Raccoon Cafe, Owen Sound Tuesday, January 26, 2010,   6:30PM Location:  The Chefs’ House, 215 King St. East, Toronto Cost:  $100 per person ALL INCLUSIVE  (food, wine, taxes & tip included) Call 416-415-2260 for reservations, or visit the website to book online.

After a decade of working in five-star restaurants in Amsterdam, Chef Robin Pradhan settled in the Bruce Peninsula and opened the original Rocky Raccoon Café.  His newest location in Owen Sound has won critical acclaim, earning a place in Anne Hardy’s “Where to Eat in Canada” guide each year since 2003. Robin’s customized cuisine reflects his Nepalese roots, global cuisine experience, and his ‘local and living’ food philosophy to nourish both body and spirit.  Anne Hardy has claimed, “Pradhan’s momos (dumplings with pork, beef, elk, or veggies steamed in rice pastry) are better than anything you’ll get in Nepal, or in Tibet for that matter!”  Chef Pradhan’s menus also feature some of the freshest and best foods available in Ontario’s Grey and Bruce Counties:  local fish, elk, bison, beef, lamb, and chicken, plus organic vegetables, cheeses, wines, and many others provide endless inspiration for him!  Barbara Kay from The 100 Mile Market, Meaford, will be there!  Bon appetit!

August 27, 28 & 29, 2009: Cook Book Swap

Bring in your previously-loved cook books to our swap table and exchange for others!  We all have cookbooks we used to love but don’t take off the shelf any more – let them become someone else’s favourite.  Bring one – take one!  (or bring 10 – take 10!!)

This event will be held at The 100 Mile Market throughout our hours of business Thursday, Friday and Saturday, August 27, 28, 29, 2009.  We will have a special table dedicated to displaying available cook books – dust them off and bring them in! Any leftover cook books will be donated to The Net Shed in support of the Meaford Public Library.
