Inspired by the Saint-Laurent region, the concept will offer 2,000 gourmet film buffs the opportunity to meet artisans of Quebec gastronomy, taste their thematic creations and share an interest in the seventh art. From April 26 to 28, culinary events, film screenings, conferences, workshops, a public market and youth activities will be on the program.
Many chefs and artisans will be on hand to present a menu concocted from a cinematographic work. Among them, we find Patrick Dubé (executive chef of Germain Charlevoix and Les Labors), Sabrina Lemay (Bistro l’Orygine), David Forbes (Camp Boule Buvette de montagne), among others. The host and actor Christian Bégin (Curious Begin), host Francis Reddy and his son Arthur (baker at La Meunerie Urbaine) will also be present.
Workshops on the art of pizza, sommelier making, L’Isle-aux-Coudres pâtés and tasting of Quebec wines will be offered.
The Cuisine, cinéma et confidences festival will take place from April 26 to 28 in Baie-Saint-Paul. (Louis Laliberté)
