What started a half dozen years ago as a whim has now become a Toronto tradition. The idea was simple enough, gather 10 of Toronto’s finest chefs and let them cook with Cheese Boutique ingredients and pair those complimentary dishes with wine. The Festival of Chefs  provides a face to face channel of communication between the chef and the patron. The foodie community mixes and mingles in an interactive environment where learning techniques can be observed first-hand each weekend. After watching how dishes are assembled, the audience is invited to sample the final product. A sommelier pairs wine to compliment each dish.

The annual selection process begins in January with the  gathering of an in-house committee. Criteria for selections are: achievements, critical acclaim, style of cuisine, experience, potential and popular demand. Every year the Festival also features a Chef’s Table at which special guests act as ambassadors for our customers. The Festival is a celebration of culinary excellence, of passion, fine ingredients and sharing knowledge.
