Culinary Institute of Vancouver Island launches cookbook

Talented Vancouver Island University students, alumni and


instructors serve up a tantalizing mix in Recipes from the Culinary


Institute of Vancouver Island at VIU.

“A few students came up with the idea of producing the


cookbook as a fundraiser,” said instructor Debbie Shore.

The project expanded to feature favourite recipes of


students, faculty and graduates. The $20 book includes dishes from appetizers


such as ham and cheese croquettes to crab and asparagus soup, East Indian


influenced potato salad and Hawaiian meatballs. Sour cherry, mascarpone and


crepe pudding is one of many desserts.

Proceeds from the sale of the cookbook will support student


field trips, culinary competitions and guest speakers. “It’s all to enhance


students’ learning,” Shore said.

Some of the proceeds will go to produce a second volume.

Culinary Institute of Vancouver Island will launch the


cookbook Wednesday, Dec. 16 from 1 pm to 2 pm. at the VIU bookstore. Samples


from some of the recipes will be served.

Recipes from the Culinary Institute of Vancouver Island


at VIU is available at the campus bookstore or can be ordered from


Josephine Chong of the Culinary Institute. Phone 250-740-6289 or email Josephine.Chong@viu.ca.
