Your guide to hosting a simple but memorable dinner party

Denise Marchessault, author of The Artful Pie Project, teaches online cooking classes

Food is so much more than what you put in your body.

“Food is the great connection for us all. When we break bread together, we really are communicating with other people. It’s a gesture of love,” said Denise Marchessault, the self-described “ambitious home cook” who has now published two cookbooks, The Artful Pie Project and British Columbia from Scratch.

Along with being a cookbook author, Marchessault stays busy teaching online cooking classes from her commercial kitchen in Victoria, where people can cook with her live, step by step in their own kitchens or watch and cook later.
