Innovative takes on kitchen staples, from a Canadian culinary icon? Yes, Chef! The Vancouver Writers Fest is delighted to present Matty Matheson—restaurateur, New York Times bestselling author, and executive producer and actor on FX’s The Bear—with a new cookbook that redefines cooking’s iconic trinity: soups, salads, and sandwiches.
This trio makes up so many of our meals, but is rarely given the attention it deserves—until now. Matty Matheson, known for the bold flavours that he shares in his restaurants as well as with his 1.5 million YouTube subscribers, has created a cookbook that will revolutionize how you think of these kitchen basics. He brings his larger-than-life personality to this entertaining evening of laughs, stories, and scrumptious recipes, in conversation with Global News Anchor Sophie Lui.
Tickets come with a pre-signed copy of Matty Matheson: Soups, Salads, Sandwiches, so you can live out your own chef dreams in the kitchen.
