Lots of great foodie vibes this week

St. Albert is brimming with pride as local chocolatier Priya Winsor dazzles on the Food Network’s ‘Harry Potter: Wizards of Baking.’

 

Winsor, owner of Compass Chocolates, fuses Canadian creativity with magical artistry on the show, showcasing unique flavors like masala chai ganache and Newfoundland sea salt.

 

Alongside teammate Molly Robbins, she impressed judges by crafting an edible rendition of Bellatrix Lestrange’s Dagger, blending her heritage with international flair.

 

Winsor’s journey from Newfoundland to St. Albert and onto a global stage highlights her determination and innovative spirit.

 

Her achievements come as St. Albert celebrates milestones like the new Lakeview Business District and the East Village - symbols of local growth and ambition.

 

The community, led by Mayor Cathy Heron, rallies behind Winsor, who inspires St. Albert’s rise as a hub of talent and culture.
