Registration for Winnipeg Spring Leisure Guide classes begins Monday, March 15, at 9:00am. There’s a veritable bounty of information for the culinary inclined.
Folded into Adult Leisure sections you’ll find the usual headings–Hands-On Cuisine and Cuisine Demo. But I found a couple of foodie items in the Around the Yard section–Making Maple Sugar for Fun or Profit and Growing Mushrooms at Home (not the psychotropic ones).
Also, don’t forget to check the Assiniboine Park Conservatory (APC) section. There’s a handful of classes offered in conjunction with Manitoba Liquor Marts and Red River College. (Why this has anything to do with APC I don’t know. I’m also baffled by their insistence on describing this stuff as Foody. It’s foodie. As in granola munching Hippie, not Hippy. Hah!)
Aaaaanyway…I’ve pulled the FOODIE events out and listed them in a handy-dandy chronological order on the Savour Winnipeg Calendar of Food Events.

I indulge in unhealthy levels of Food Network Canada programming, numerous magazine subscriptions, and handfuls of food related books. If laden with a caloric count, this would render me morbidly obese, yet I’m never completely information sated.

The Winnipeg Leisure Guide hit stands August 12.
Available direct to Winnipeg Free Press subscribers, and through arenas, civic pools, libraries, leisure centres, and 200 local retailers, it lines up hundreds of activities to keep Peggers busy through the fall.
Given that two of my favourite leisure activities are cooking and eating, I’m always thrilled to see what’s available in the cooking section which has been expanding year after year. It’s buried in the adult leisure segment, but I’ve extracted the food pages and posted the image below.
At the the very back of the guide there’s also a special foodie interest lineup (although they’ve titled it “foody”) at the Assiniboine Park Conservatory. According to the guide: “The foody series incorporates delectable food samplings prepared by local chefs sprinkled with historical and horticultural tidbits, topped off with expert pairings from the Manitoba Liquor Marts.”
I’ve posted the excerpt for this section too, but PDFs of all the Leisure Guide sections are available at http://www.winnipeg.ca/cms/recreation/leisureguide.stm
