I’m going to this on Thursday. Can’t wait. Chefs from UBC and the Alma Mater Society will prepare a sustainable, family-style community dinner on Main Mall using some locally sourced UBC Farm items. White linen, tableware, glassware, and candles will be set for tables of 14 and music will be performed by students from the […] Photo credit: http://portandfin.com/warmed-red-cabbage-salad-with-walnuts-goat-cheese/ I’m going to make this dish for a potluck picnic this weekend.
