Spring is right around the corner and EC Montreal is so excited to present its April calendar of events! Every April, EC Montreal’s theme is gastronomy!
When EC Montreal created its English and French plus programme, the obvious choice was gastronomy because the city of Montreal is known for its fabulous restaurants, culinary schools and food markets.
Throughout the month of April, we will be introducing our students to local foods and flavors as well as leading culinary workshops such as sushi making and cupcake decorating.
This week, we will give our students a taste of our local food; poutine! Poutine is the ultimate comfort food made from fries, gravy and cheese curds. It is sinfully delicious! It was invented in the province of Quebec and is now known world-wide! Even the fanciest of restaurants offer a type of poutine on their menus. Garde Manger, in Old Montreal, for example, serves a lobster poutine!
As Easter falls during the second week of April, we will lead a cupcake decorating activity. Each table in the student lounge will offer a selection of naked cupcakes and different toppings so students can be creative and produce their very own cupcakes!
On April 19, we will lead a sushi making workshop. We will show our students how they can roll their very own sushi with their favorite ingredients!
On April 26, EC Montreal will host a Spring Picnic event with sandwiches, watermelon and other outdoor snacks!
In addition to our weekly complimentary activities, EC will organize an outing to Fairmount Bagel, a tour of the Jean-Talon market in Little Italy, a Smoked meat group dinner and a pizza party!
What a delicious month we look forward to at EC Montreal! Bon appetit!
