Eating Together returns Celebrity chef Vikram Vij will help launch third annual event this week by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter
A
popular Vancouver chef will lend his celebrity tonight Wednesday)to the media launch of Touchstone Family Association’s third annual Eating Together campaign.
Eating Together—set for Feb. 24 to March 3—aims to raise awareness of the benefits of families eating together and raises funds for Touchstone’s Front Porch Program, which provides counselling and support services to families. Joining the 6 p.m. launch at AutoWest BMW in Richmond is Vikram Vij, an award-winning chef and co-owner of Vij’s and Rangoli restaurants in Vancouver, and co-author of two best-selling Indian cookbooks. Touchstone’s week-long Eating Together campaign is close to Vij’s heart and is one of the reasons he created Vij’s At Home, his own name brand of frozen foods, which will be showcased at the event. Eating Together encourages families to eat together through a series of activities such as community meals, cooking classes, restaurant participation and the distribution of awareness information. Organizers point to research that shows families that regularly share meals connect more effectively, have fewer problems and stay together. •For more information about the week’s Serving Richmond Since 1984 activities and to register, visit Chef Vikram Vij will help launch Touchstone Family Association’s third annual Eating Together campaign. eatingtogether.ca.

Cooking Classes
Popular cooking classes return to Eating Together Eating Together is a one-week celebration of families—spending as much time around the table as we can. Touchstone Family Association is offering the following challenge to Richmond families: How many times will you eat together between Feb. 24 to March 3? According to Touchstone, here are five good reasons to eat together: •Communication is key! Find out what your kid are thinking – give them a chance to find out more about you. •Role model manners, consistency and stability. They’re watching you and you can give them a great sense of safety and security through regular get-togethers. •Expand their world. A chance to experience choosing, cooking and tasting new foods. •Resolve behavioural issues. Research is clear – frequent family dinners are associated with lower rates of smoking, drinking and illegal drug use. •Improve grades. Its true, research shows, academic performance increases with the number of meals eaten with family. Back from popular demand, Touchstone has lined up five cooking classes again this year. • Chef Shane Lamb of American Grille. Monday, Feb. 25, 6 – 9 p.m. • Stephanie Yuen, food blogger and author of East Meets West. Tuesday, Feb. 26, 6 – 9 p.m. • Chef Nathan Tymchuk from the Richmond Boathouse.
