In case you missed it with all the holiday hubbub, registration for the Winter Leisure Guide opened on December 14.

Like my post-celebration waistline, the adult leisure section boasts an ever expanding foodie section. Kathy Man is back for a wide array of recipes and technique demos from the far East, and there are plenty of hands-on options from Jim and Barbara Pappas and Lionel A. Brunel.

And don’t miss the Assiniboine Park Conservatory Programs towards the back which features samplings by local chefs sprinkled with historical, cultural and horticultural tidbits; topped off with expert wine pairings from the Manitoba Liquor Marts.

Visit the City of Winnipeg website for a PDF of the Leisure Guide, or check out Savour Winnipeg’s Calendar for these food events and more.

Sign up soon…spots fill up fast. Call the city’s 311 line, and make sure you have the 6-digit course number at hand.
