Celebrate fall from the comfort of home.
Enjoy fall festivities with your community online! Here's how:
COOK ALONG
Autumn is the season for hearty, comfort food.
Enjoy the bounty of the fall harvest with Roasted Pumpkin Penne, a Harvest Feastival -inspired recipe from UBC’s Culinary Director and Executive Chef, David Speight.
This healthy plant-based, dairy-free dish has all the tasty flavours of fall: cinnamon, coconut, fresh herbs, swiss chard and — a whole entire pumpkin!
Gather the ingredients from the UBC Farm or your local grocer, get the recipe (printer-friendly) and cook along to the video.
Don't forget to enter the #myUBCharvest contest once you're done — see details below!
TAKEOUT & TASTE
For those days when cozy means skip the cooking, find the Roasted Pumpkin Penne on the takeout menu at The Point Grill and in the dining hall at Orchard Commons' Open Kitchen (open to residents only) from October 8-22, 2020.
EXPERIENCE THE ARTS & CULTURE DISTRICT
Past guests of Harvest Feastival have fond memories of the post-dinner evening entertainment in UBC's world-class Arts and Culture District.
Spice up your Harvest @Home celebration with a variety of online musical performances and exhibits from this list of 10 Arts events not to miss in October.
