The Aurora Farmers\u2019 Market and Artisan Fair will be celebrating Culture Days with their popular \u201cSoup Fest\u201d which has become a much-anticipated annual tradition.
\nOn Saturday, September 29, five Market chefs will create delicious soups from fresh, local ingredients sourced at the Market. The Soup Fest will begin at 9:30 am with each chef having up to 30 minutes to finish preparing and serving samples of their soup to the public. The last demonstration will be at 11:30 am.
\nThis year\u2019s Culture Days theme \u201cOn Beat\u201d challenged chefs to incorporate the theme into their culinary creations. And our Market chefs were definitely up for the challenge!
\nCathy of \u201cCatharina\u2019s Kitchen\u201d perhaps best embraced the thematic challenge with her decision to create a \u201cBeet It\u201d soup, inspired by Michael Jackson\u2019s \u201cThriller\u201d. Cathy likes to work in her kitchen while listening to heavy rock music.
\nSarah Joy of \u201cSarah Joy Sweets\u201d likes listening to Jared Lutes and country music. The former head baker at Grand Oak Market in Niagara will be making a harvest soup, \u201cZucchini with Rosemary\u201d.
\nChef Gabriel of \u201cCatering By Gabriel\u201d says that he likes to listen to the music played at the Music in the Park concerts on Wednesday nights. When asked about his soup, he replied that he is making a \u201cMexican Jumping Bean\u201d soup. I think that we\u2019re in for a surprise that will definitely have us jumping to the beat!
\nJan of \u201cJan\u2019s Country Pantry\u201d has chosen to make a \u201cCurried Cauliflower Soup\u201d to celebrate the fall season. Although Jan likes a wide variety of music genres, her favourite choice in the house as well as in the car is classical music.
\nPascal of \u201cLa Brehandaise Catering\u201d has not yet decided which soup he will be creating, but he\u2019ll likely be getting his inspiration listening to French music.
\nFor our entertainment, we are excited to announce that the wonderful, Juno nominated musician, Glenn Marais, will be performing at the Bandshell starting at 10 am. Glenn\u2019s musical diversity features a blues, rock and reggae mix that he says will leave you humming \u201cI Feel Good\u201d. Glenn will be bringing a percussionist so there will be a rhythmic element to the performance as well as a touch of djembe drum action. Glenn recently finished second in a Toronto Blues Society Talent Contest and is currently at work recording a new Delta Blues CD. His goal is to combine music with social activism while engaging the community at the same time.
