In 2015 Bob Blumer, then host of the Iron Ore Chef Challenge, is seen here at the semi-final match up between Karahi King and the Ramada at the Northern Taste Market during the BCNE. He returns to Prince George virtually to do a fundraiser for the Prince George Hospice Society on Oct. 25.

Celebrity chef Bob Blumer, who has made appearances at the local fair in the past, is offering an opportunity to cook along with him via Zoom as a fundraiser for the Prince George Hospice Society on Oct. 25.

Blumer will guide home chefs in the preparation of two recipes from his new cookbook Flavorbomb.

Participants will have a box of ingredients delivered to their home from local grocers Birch & Boar in advance of the event.

Featured recipes include an appetizer and a main course.

In the box there will also be a snack and dessert along side of an advance copy of Blumer's new cookbook and a series of recipe cards from local restaurants Karahi King, White Goose Bistro, Betulla Burning, Twisted Cork and Nancy O's.

"Fundraising for non-profits has been exceptionally challenging this year and this evening will prove to be delicious and fun for all those involved," Donna Flood, executive director of the Prince George Hospice Society said.

Wine pairings for the event will also be available.

Because of his many visits to Prince George during the local chef challenges held at the annual fall fair, Blumer is a big supporter of the local culinary scene and gives a shout out in his new book to two-time winner of the challenges Jagdish Gill from Karahi King.

Tickets for the Zoom event are $100 and are available at https://tickets.theatrenorthwest.com.

Tickets are on sale now. All proceeds go to the Prince George Hospice Society.
