lg2boutique created packaging for the evening. To celebrate the spirit of sharing at the heart of Cuisines collectives, Daniel Vézina prepared a special chili con carne, which was handed out to each guest in a specially designed container.
La Vittoria partnered with Cuisines collectives Hochelage-Maisonneuve and Montérégie, two organizations that promote food autonomy in Québec, notably by reintroducing their members to the basics of cooking. It was a natural fit given cooking is central to all La Vittoria events. This year’s theme took its cue from honored chef Éric Gonzales (chef at Auberge Saint-Gabriel), who hails from France but now calls Quebec home.
The event took shape around the theme of “Roots,” inspired by the French heritage on Quebec soil and a return to vegetables from the ground. The creative paid tribute to the earth and its flavors through different pieces that showcased root vegetables, their freshness, raw perfection and elegant shapes.
