Hello Reader,

I’d like to invite you to a special event on Monday, Nov. 3, from 3:30 to 6:30 p.m. at Centennial College in Scarborough. Hosted at The Local restaurant, Elevate Your Baking with Versatile Figs is a unique afternoon gathering designed for bakers and pastry chefs who want to expand their skills, stimulate their creativity and network with their peers!

Chef Joseph Montinaro of Toronto’s Dolcini by Joseph, West Finch Bakery and the soon-to-launch Cantina Amici Forno will lead an in-person demonstration on how to incorporate versatile California fig ingredients such as whole, diced, e-diced, paste and juice concentrate into a selection of pastry and baked goods. Chef Joseph will share techniques and ideas you can take back to your own kitchen. You’ll have the chance to connect with fellow bakers and, of course, taste the delicious results.

We’d love to see you there! Please click the button below to RSVP, and if you have any questions, feel free to reach out to me at kbarton@annexbusinessmedia.com. See you soon,
