Solé Uptown will host Canadian chef and television personality Anna Olson for an exclusive brunch event on Nov. 1 to celebrate the release of her new cookbook, Anna Cooks.
The brunch will take place from 10:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Waterloo restaurant, which is operated by the Charcoal Group of Restaurants.

“Anna Olson carries a contagious passion for authentic and approachable cooking,” said Jody Palubiski, chief executive officer at the Charcoal Group. “Her recipes are thoughtful and inspiring – and bringing her to Solé allows us to combine her culinary expertise with our commitment to seasonal, locally-inspired cuisine.”
Guests attending the event can expect a seasonally inspired, chef-curated brunch menu featuring dishes such as Maple Pumpkin Pancakes with Cranberries, Crab & Corn Frittata with Simple Green Salad, and Autumn Apple Slab Pie. These items will be offered alongside Solé Uptown’s regular brunch menu.

Anna Cooks includes more than 125 recipes designed to be approachable for home cooks, with options for every meal of the day, including weekday breakfasts, quick lunches, one-pan dinners and indulgent desserts.
“Food is about connection, community and sharing moments that bring people together,” said Olson. “I can’t wait to connect with food lovers at Solé and celebrate the joy of cooking in a space that values creativity and seasonal flavours.”
Guests will have the opportunity to purchase a copy of Anna Cooks during the event. While tickets are not required, seating is limited. Solé Uptown encourages guests to reserve a table by calling 519-747-5622.
