Weekend in Whistler – Cornucopia 2010 - Foodists

Sometimes you live in a city for a long time but don’t get out to things that you would otherwise if it wasn’t so close by and thus more easily taken for granted. For me, Whistler Cornucopia is one of those things. Even though I’ve lived here for almost as long as Cornucopia’s been running, this was my first year attending it. Since I don’t ski or snowboard, there isn’t much cause to get out there very often. In terms of physical distance, Seattle is almost twice as far away yet I’ve been there more often and it feels less remote.

Due to happenstance circumstances, I was able to attend this year’s Cornucopia as the Foodists representative. The media pass allowed me to go to a wider range of events than I might normally have chosen as a regular attendee, so it was a fantastic first experience.

Day 1 – Thursday November 11

House Party – Best of BC

Things kicked off on Thursday evening with a party that showcased a selection of BC beer, wine and spirits, with a gourmet BBQ feast by Four Season’s Sidecut restaurant. It was a great start to the weekend and just what I needed after the drive up from Vancouver.

Day 2 – Friday November 12

Whistler’s Chef Challenge

If you’ve ever wondered what it would be like to attend an Iron Chef competition, this is the event for you. Better yet, the admission is free. The Whistler’s Chef Challenge pitted three chefs from Bearfoot Bistro against three chefs from Sidecut restaurant in a timed, one hour cooking competition with a mystery secret ingredient. The chefs knew ahead of time that the ingredient was going to be either carrots, sea urchin or venison. Once the ingredient was selected (which turned out to be venison), the teams have 5 minutes to brainstorm. In addition to bragging rights, there was a $2000 cash prize at stake.

Windset Farms supplied produce for the competition and also put up $500 for the team that made the best use of their products. Headquartered in the Fraser Valley, Windset grows tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, eggplants and endives on farms in BC, California and Las Vegas.

Along with Windset produce and a basic pantry, the teams were allowed to bring in their own ingredients. Some of the more intriguing items were foie gras, truffles, squid ink and liquid nitrogen.

Each team prepared five dishes, with the first dish served at the 60 minute mark and subsequent dishes served every 10 minutes thereafter. It was fascinating to watch the amount of cooking and different preparations that professionally trained chefs could execute under pressure, and the speed at which everything was done: making stocks and purees from scratch, clarifying consomme, making fresh ravioli, using sous vide techniques. Not to mention the incredibly delicious smells being generated from so many dishes being made at the same time.
