"Is there any better way to truly discover a country and a culture than by sharing its food and wine? Gourmet Safaris go deep into the gastronomy of Europe's romantic regions - delicious voyages of discovery to open your mind and your palate."
Elizabeth Baird, Founding member of BREAKFAST FOR LEARNING, Canadian Living Foundation and Honourary Event Chair, Food Editor at Canadian Living Magazine, editor/author of the Canadian Living Best series of cookbooks, host of Canadian Living Cooks.
September 2006 - Gourmet Safari to Morocco Event:
Sunday late afternoon and evening were a splendid end to an early fall day… Breakfast for Learning is not a new charitable foundation, but its first major fundraiser combined this breathtaking day and location with a Moroccan safari. It was one exotic evening that made enough money to fuel the learning and well-being of many kids in the coming year.

September 2006 - Gourmet Safari to Morocco Event:
I must say that the Gourmet Safari to Morocco was a most enjoyable and enlightening event from beginning to end. The food, the people, the belly dancers and that handsome Dan Duran fellow made the evening a sheer delight to be a part of. The fact that it was in support such a worthwhile cause, Breakfast for Learning, made that much more special. Thanks for inviting me to be a part of it.
