The annual selection process beings in January with the gathering of an in-house committee. Criteria are established based on past achievements, critical acclaim, style of cuisine, experience, potential and popular demand. This year the participating chefs are: Anthony Walsh, John Higgins, Donna Dooher, Patrick McMurray, Anne Yarymowich, Massimo Capra, Mike Steh, David Garcelon, Robert Bartley and Jonathan Gushue.
Every year the Festival of Chefs also features a Chef’s Table at which two invited special guests act as ambassadors of our costumers.
The Festival of Chefs is a celebration of culinary excellence, of passion, of fine ingredients and of sharing knowledge.

| What: TICP: Attachment, Intersubjectivity and Mentalization tell a friend single event |
| When: |
Saturday, May 23, 2009 |
| Organization: | Toronto Institute for Contemporary Psychoanalysis |
| | Where: | George Ignatieff Theatre, U of T, Toronto, ON |
| | More Info: | “Attachment, Intersubjectivity and Mentalization: Clinical and Developmental Implications”
Speaker: Dr. Stephen Seligman
May 23, 2009 from 9:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m.
George Ignatieff Theatre, University of Toronto
This program will use the observation of the emotionally rich world of infant-parent interaction to show how the emerging psychoanalytic concepts of intersubjectivity, attachment and "mentalization" can enhance clinical work. Rather than approaching these ideas as abstractions, the program will approach them from the "inside out:" We will look at how babies and their caregivers are constantly shaping each other's actions and internal worlds, depending on one another for their core experiences of being protected, effective and understood in the world. With this approach, both established object-relational theories and new ideas about attachment relationships and the development of the reflective capacity can become clearer. As we transpose these images and experiential understandings to the therapist-patient situation, new vitality and creativity can open up in the details of our everyday work.
Presented by the Toronto Institute for Contemporary Psychoanalysis (TICP)
