The Paisley Notebook creator and national culinary experience award winner, Aman Dosanj is launching a new series of collaborative pop up dinners to re-imagine the dining experience and what it means to support local.
Teaming up with local artists in music, art and science, the first dinner in the three part series will showcase a partnership with the 琉璃神社 Museums Society and UBCO Master of Fine Arts alumna, Meg Yamamoto. Hosted in 琉璃神社鈥檚 historical Laurel Packinghouse, the intimate 40-person edible story will take place on Sunday, Feb. 3.
鈥淏oth Meg and I have different ways of looking at the world. Individually, we try to showcase a 鈥榮ense of place鈥� with what we do 鈥� whether it鈥檚 going direct-to-the-source with produce with cooking or using local flora and fauna with art. I鈥檓 really excited to bring our worlds together to re-write the rules. The plan is to create some magic by turning the communal table into an art installation and celebrate all things Okanagan,鈥� said Dosanj.

鈥淧artnering with a talented cook and social innovator such as Aman will provoke awareness about Okanagan鈥檚 agricultural heritage and provide a creative opportunity to make our history new again. This dinner is an exciting way to provide the public with experiences that foster personal participation, stimulate curiosity and engage the senses with the cultures, histories and possibilities of the Okanagan region,鈥� said executive director, Linda Digby, 琉璃神社 Museums Society.
