Why do a a girls’ night out when you can do a girls’ weekend getaway? March 14 – 16, 2014 The Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge held a weekend PJ party hosted by Jann Arden. After rocking it out in our pjs, learning some party planning tips, shaking our hips at a Bollywood dance lesson, and learning how to make  lemon curd meringues with Julie van Rosendaal – all the ladies got gussied up for a gala dinner which featured a main course sponsored by Alberta Pork.

The culinary team at the Fairmont JPL served up a beautiful main course featuring Alberta Pork from Sunterra Meats. The savoury dish had a hint of spice and was cooked to a perfectly tender texture. A huge thanks to the  Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge culinary team for sharing this delightful recipe.
