I attended my very first Le Diner en Blanc this year. I had never heard of it before and I was invited by my friend Rita who is awesome, so I said yes! I had no idea it would turn into one of the most magical night's of my life (so far). I learned that the epicurean and cultural phenomenon known as Le Diner en Blanc started in Paris 25 years ago as an alfresco dinner for friends and has grown over the years into a world wide event across the globe in many major cities like New York, London, Singapore, Sidney and Barcelona. This year was the first ever in Victoria, BC and I can't wait to attend again! As I love food and dressing up, I was giddy as a school girl for the night. You had the option of buying a catered dinner or bringing your own. I made a three course meal for some friends Paleo style. You meet up at one of many locations and then travel to the unknown venue. The suspense was very exciting. We walked into a magical setting of everyone setting up for Le Diner en Blanc which was set on the lawn of St Ann's Academy.
