One of Canada’s most recognizable culinary voices is heading to Barrie this spring. On April 18, celebrity chef, television personality and bestselling author Anna Olson will host an exclusive brunch at Beertown Barrie as part of a national tour celebrating the launch of her newest cookbook, Anna Cooks.
“Food has a way of bringing people together, and events like this let us celebrate that connection,” said Jody Palubiski, Chief Executive Officer of the Charcoal Group of Restaurants, the parent company that owns and operates Beertown. “We’re excited to welcome Anna Olson to Barrie and share her love of cooking with our community.”
Guests can enjoy a seasonally inspired, chef-curated brunch menu, featuring six dishes from Anna Cooks, including syrniki, double blueberry streusel muffins, scrambled smoked salmon and asparagus and a croque madame – alongside two speciality cocktails and three desserts, he said.
Olson’s latest cookbook features more than 125 approachable recipes for every time of day – from quick weekday breakfasts and lunches to one-pan dinners and indulgent desserts.
Known for her warm, practical approach to cooking, Olson continues to inspire home cooks of all skill levels with recipes that are both accessible and satisfying, he said.
“Hosting a culinary icon like Anna at Beertown Barrie is a chance to showcase what makes our restaurant special,” said Palubiski. “It’s about great food, meaningful experiences and creating memories that guests will cherish long after the meal.”
In addition to Olson’s curated menu, Beertown’s regular menu will also be available.
Guests will also have the opportunity to purchase a copy of Anna Cooks. Reservations are required for this complimentary, ticketed event.
Following the Barrie event on April 18, Olson will continue her tour with appearances at Beertown locations in Waterloo and Burlington in June.
