From the Features dept.
[UPDATE from ROLAND: Whoops, this
event was yesterday, August 13th NOT today August 14 as I originally posted. Mea culpa! I was confused because I didn't
receive the email until today. Thanks to Kurtis from Aurora for pointing this out. It would be great if this tribute could last the whole weekend.]
If only Aurora Bistro
had a blog
(obligatory plug - it's easy and cheap, call me at 604 729 7924), then
they could easily post cool things such as the following tribute to
Julia Child (which we received via email today). We would be
there if we could (but it's not going to happen because of the
baby!).

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
August 14th, 2004
(Vancouver, BC) On Friday, August
13th to celebrate the life and influence
of Julia Child, Aurora Bistro's Chef Jeff Van Geest created "Crepes
Julia"
as that evening's special. The Crab & Morel Mushroom Crepes
with a
Truffled Sweet Pea Sauce were ordered by every single table Aurora
served on Friday
evening, and the restaurant will donate their proceeds to the Julia
Child
Endowment Fund, created in 1997 by the IACP Foundation. The
fund was
established to perpetuate Julia Child's culinary interest and provides
an
annual scholarship for a professional to do independent study in France
on French cuisine, wine, history, culture and traditions.
