Acadian Arts Asian Fusion Cooking or Watercolor Painting Retreat at Roosevelt Campobello International Park, New Brunswick, Canada W25
with Chris Toy
June 20th to 23rd, 2025
Chris Toy, author of six popular cookbooks and private chef, has taught Asian fusion cooking for many years. Cooking students will learn how to prepare a variety of recipes from Asia, Europe, and the Americas incorporating traditional and local ingredients. Each meal will actively engage cooks with the tools, techniques, and stories behind the dishes being created.
Mary Laury, an accomplished watercolorist and highly esteemed teacher, encourages students to believe they can be successful. Painting is an exciting medium; it flows and moves and does beautiful things. If you have never painted in watercolors, we will start at the beginning. If you have painted before, you will pick up some new tips and tricks as well. We all learn together!
Step back to a time when President Franklin Roosevelt, Eleanor, and their family escaped to their beautiful little island. in the Canadian Maritimes, Campobello Island. We will be exclusive guests of the international park, staying in historic Victorian cottages. All meals are included in the workshop fee as well as specially planned optional evening activities designed to extend your learning from the day's workshops, including a private concert by award-winning Celtic Fiddle player, Katherine Moller, and A Special Program in October, for Indigenous People's Day weekend, an evening program about Native American Basketry by Catherine Hunter, in the Victorian parlor of Hubbard House.
