Prepare to feast your eyes on Edible Toronto’s September / October 2019 issue.

Hot off the press, the education-themed issue shines the spotlight on Niagara College, featuring an article entitled,  ‘A College of Thirsts and Firsts: The Canadian Food and Wine Institute at Niagara College is leading the pack in education-to-industry programs’ (pages 36-40),

Written by Niagara-based writer Tiffany Mayer, the article showcases the trailblazing food and beverage education at NC’s Canadian Food and Wine Institute as well as research from the CFWI Innovation Centre. It includes statements from CFWI dean Craig Youdale, general manager of the Learning Enterprises Steve Gill, CFWI Innovation Centre manager Lyndon Ashton,  Brewmaster professor Jon Downing, and recent Artisan Distilling graduate Michael Bright. The article also offers stunning visuals from the College’s Teaching Winery and vineyards,  Teaching Brewery and Teaching Distilley, taken by local photographer Aaron Lynett.

In addition to the article itself, the Table of Contents feature a  full-page photo of rum dripping from a still at the Teaching Distillery and is mentioned prominently in the Letter from the Editor (page 4).

“For those seeking a more advanced culinary education, you don’t have to look further than Niagara-on-the-Lake, where Niagara College’s Canadian Food and Wine Institute is leading the charge in viticulture, brewing and distilling – food and drink industries that are booming in Ontario,” said managing editor Alexandra Sienkiewicz, in her Letter from the Editor.
