If the rainy, dreary, grey-colored west coast skies start to wear you down, what could be more soothing and salutary than serving up some scrumptious classic comfort food? And in the digestive afterglow, feeling sated, safe and mellow, you can curl up on the couch with a good book, cuddle up with a canine or feline friend, look out the long window, and watch the liquid sunshine fall from the sky. <\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Feast Your Eyes: <\/strong>As the essays and images in Canadian Culinary Imaginations demonstrate, food is more than sustenance \u2013 it holds power to represent and remake the world in unexpected ways. Join us online for a delectable book launch!  The book\u2019s editors, Associate Dean Shelley Boyd and Dr. Dorothy Barenscott (Fine Arts Department), as well as several contributors,<\/em> will reflect on how food has shaped their imaginations and share their favorite edibles and recipes. RSVP: ArtsEvents@kpu.ca<\/a>. The book launch takes place on Monday, November 2, 4:00 \u2013 5:00 PM on Microsoft Teams. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
