welcome the traveling exhibition of the Canada Agriculture and Food Museum, in collaboration with Pulse Canada, to
increase the awareness about the health benefits of pulses.
Additionally, pulses will be featured at the 6th Championnat amateur de Cuisine santé de Montréal in which
participants are to present a main course featuring beans, lentils and/or dried peas. The selected candidates will be
granted 30 minutes to execute an eco-gastronomy recipe under the attentive eye of our jury composed of the culinary
columnist, Christelle Tanielian, the editor in chief of Coup de Pouce magazine, Louise Faucher and the chef and
founder of SoupeSoup restaurants, Caroline Dumas. The event will be hosted by the passionate and inspiring
Stéphanie Audet, chef and rising star of vegetal gastronomy. When? Saturday, March 12th, starting at 10:30 am.
