Seared Yellowfin Tuna

This is a perfect meal for a hot summer day if you’re looking for something light and fresh. Yellowfin tuna can be eaten just raw as is, but it really becomes something very special when seared just right and paired with the right flavours. 

Five Sails – Valentine’s Day

Because of each of our careers, neither I nor Jenny could spend Feb 14th together, so we decided to do it on the Saturday right after instead. This also gave us the option to go with their very well known and complex a la carte menu. 

Passion Fruit Crème Brûlée

This was my first attempt at making crème brûlées and I think this recipe was a great one to start with. I’ve eaten many in my life but this was so unique with its tropical fruity punch to it! Thank you Sorted Foods for this indulgent recipe!

Nero Belgian Waffle Bar

Nero has for a long time now been one of the most talked about waffle joints in downtown Vancouver, and it’s also one of the busiest. Many new waffle restaurants are popping up all over the city, but Nero is still managing to win despite its size disadvantage. It just shows that nothing beats a good quality waffle!

Spicy Tuna Bites

As a preview of my 12 week food budget challenge, I’ve made a super easy twist on the classic tuna sandwich. This is an open faced, spicy tuna sandwich that will make you fall in love with the dish all over again!

Morrocan Lamb Tagine and Couscous

One of my all time favourite comfort foods is lamb tagine. I love the rich flavour of the lamb cooked low and slow with these sweet and savoury flavours. This dish is all in the preparation, lots of ingredients, but once ready, it’s a cinch to make, enjoy!

Forage – Dineout #2

To Chris Whittaker, Head Chef at Forage, the idea of forage means, “we no longer seek out excess and indulgence, but instead revisit a time when we respected the land and oceans and took only what we needed to survive. It is about being stewards of our land and true conservationists, as we conduct our business and live our lives. It is about goodness, about taking care of each other, and bringing together our community over good food”.

Lobster Prawn Pappardelle

Since the opening of Fresh Street Farms in Fleetwood, we’ve been able to get really amazing seafood at a very reasonable price, and best of all it’s really close to home.
