We were in Whistler this summer, and happened upon Celadon Fine Korean Cuisine purely by accident. We were impressed by the food, but didn’t know the story behind it. Plus, we only got to...

Ever have one of those days where you want a delicious meal, but you don’t feel like going out, and you don’t have anything good in the fridge? Instead of trying to be overly creative to turn a can of tuna and a jar of peanut butter into a gourmet meal, or taking an extra hour to...

As you’ve no doubt heard, The Cannery, an iconic Vancouver restaurant for 38 years, has closed its doors. All that is left on their website is the announcement of the auction that will be selling off some of the maritime antiques. It is sad, but I did find their recipe for Salmon...

As the leaves start to fall and there is a chill in the air, my mind turns to warm comfort foods to take me through the winter. I feel a warm hug just thinking about my mom’s adobo chicken. I’ve made it several times for Mark, and he loves it. We have also tried it in different...

“If anyone serves you risotto in a ring mold, get up and leave.” That was just one of the little tidbits of advice we were treated to when Andrea M and I ventured into Cookshop for a Spanish Cooking class with Chef Romy Prasad (from So.Cial at Le Magasin in Gastown). The menu was...

I took this picture in T&T Supermarket on 1st Ave. They need an...

On May 31, 2008, my Nana passed away. She was 96 years old, and a real fire cracker! I just spent a week at home with my parents, and at the end of the week, we had a little party in Nana’s honour. I think it was exactly as she would have wanted it. A group of friends gathered at George...
