The Canadian Red Cross and Blue Water Cafe will host the second annual Red Cross Red Carpet Soiree on Wednesday, May 6th. This year’s event marks the 100th year anniversary of the Canadian Red Cross and will celebrate its colourful history and community involvement. Guests will walk the red carpet as a symbol of their support for the Red Cross, with all profits benefiting local Red Cross services, such as disaster preparedness and response and violence and abuse prevention education. This fabulous event will feature: outstanding food courtesy of  acclaimed Blue Water Cafe + Raw Bar; Canada's own Mission Hill Family Estate Wines; Vancouver's wackiest comedy troop, Dangerous Portion; a silent auction with fantastic items; great music by DJ Ocean; and even make-up touch ups to keep all the guests looking glamorous!

Tickets for this fantastic event are $100.00 each. But my kind friends at Top Table Restaurant Group in BC have heeded my call for an event for my Foodie-file devotees on the west coast and have graciously offered 2 tickets to treat my Foodie-file readers!

I can tell you that whoever goes will eat well, I've had the pleasure of dining at Blue Water and it has been unfailingly excellent! So with the memory of their soy and sake glazed sable fish tantalizing my taste buds, the road to the winning tickets will be paved with your best recipe for fish. Leave a comment on this post with your fish recipe and I will choose my favourite and announce the winner on Friday May 1st. This recipe I posted for ceviche is one of my favourites because it's simple, versatile, and always delicious it should inspire you to share yours! To be able to use the tickets, you have to be in the Vancouver area but not to worry, I haven't left out the rest of you. I will be choosing one random subscriber to take home a copy of Canadian Livings Everyday Favourites. Click here to sign up for Christine's Food for Friends e-newsletter!
