Marben’s Carl Heinrich and Ryan Donovan appear at the Green Living Show’s Farm Fresh Fare food-sampling this weekend. Now in its third year, the foodie feeding frenzy pairs a top local chef with an Ontario food producer. The Marben crew prepare vegan pear ‘n’ parsnip soup using veggies provided by 100km Foods.

Lotsa matzoh
If gefilte fish and matzoh balls are more your thing, Zane Caplansky leads an advance Passover seder at his eponymous deli (356 College, at Brunswick, 416-500-3852, caplansky.com) on Saturday (April 16). Advance tickets for the seven-course ceremonial supper are $45 ($20 kids) and include four cups of wine for adults, with seatings at 5:30 and 8 pm.
“A lot of people who came last year weren’t Jewish,” says the sociable Caplansky, “so I’ll be doing the quickie version.”
On The Marche
John Lee’s popular Sushi Marché in Leslieville (1105 Queen East, at Caroline, 416-463-0114) has just launched a second take-away in Leaside (82 Laird, at Lea, 416-239-1714, sushimarche.com). Though the nabe is swimming with similar cheap Japanese joints, none of them is helmed by an itamae trained by TV Iron Chef Masaharu Morimoto. And he delivers!
