The potters donate more than 400 bowls to the event, the chefs donate their time and recipes, and guests contribute $55 a ticket to sample the soups and take home their chosen bowl at the end of the evening. All proceeds go to&nbsp;<a href="http://www.aht.ca/">Anishnawbe Health Toronto</a>, a culture-based Indigenous centre that works with those who seek to escape homelessness.</p> <p>鈥淚t takes place in a beautiful space, right where Jamie [Kennedy] used to have his restaurant. It鈥檚 a great vibe and the bowls are gorgeous. I love Empty Bowls and what it does for the city鈥檚 homeless,鈥 says Baby.</p> <p>Jamie Kennedy invited Baby to participate over 20 years ago.</p> <p>鈥淗e sent me an email and said, 鈥榳ould you like to be involved?鈥 And I said, 鈥榓bsolutely.鈥 He was instrumental in starting the whole thing. It鈥檚 a great opportunity to give back and it鈥檚 really rewarding to be able to support and use your position as a chef to help out.鈥</p> <p>Siobhan Boyd, senior manager, education &amp; adjunct curator, Gardiner Museum, praised Baby鈥檚 involvement.&nbsp;</p> <p>鈥淓mpty Bowls is now in its 24th year and Chef Baby has been involved almost from the very beginning. Every year when I place the call to chefs to participate, Chef Baby is one of the first to respond.&nbsp;She has served some wonderful soups over the years!鈥&nbsp;</p> <p>Baby appreciates being given carte blanche. 鈥淎s long as it鈥檚 soup,鈥 she says, 鈥淚 can cook whatever I please. We also have great local produce this time of the year that I can use.鈥</p> <p>鈥淚t鈥檚 fun for us, too, to be honest. Once you get the logistics out of the way and you鈥檙e set up, it鈥檚 nice to be able to socialize with other chefs. Some of them I only see at this event once a year. We try each other鈥檚 soups, and the spirit is great,鈥 she says.</p> <h3><a href="http://www.gardinermuseum.on.ca/event/empty-bowls-2016">Find out more about Empty Bowls</a>.</h3> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-home-page-banner field--type-boolean field--label-above"> <div class="field__label">News home page banner</div> <div class="field__item">Off</div> </div> Wed, 12 Oct 2016 15:44:19 +0000 lavende4 101417 at
