When it comes to
holiday dinners, we could all go for a second helping of the sweet potato casserole and stuffing. But we
could also use a helping hand, which is why the Fairmont Chateau Whistler Is offering cooking lessons to help
you cook a delicious, unforgettable family feast. This weekend, guests will take part in a hands-on-learning
experience with the executive chef and sommelier, and hopefully take home some new tips and ideas for
