2014 Healthy Chef Competition Recap

For the past 4 years, I have been blessed with the opportunity to attend the BC Healthy Chef Competition. Co-sponsored by the BC Chefs' Association and the BC Produce Marketing Association, the purpose of this event is to promote healthy eating while raising money for the Mix it Up! campaign, Canadian Cancer Society and the Heart and Stroke Foundation. Chefs representing 8 units were competing against each other by cooking up some tasty entrees and desserts using fruit and vegetables. Despite I received a media invitation this year, I once again joined a few other colleagues at work at this event.

Famoso Neapolitan Pizzeria – Commercial Drive

Remember going to Famoso for the event featuring world acclaimed pizza chef Roberto Caporuscio from New York City and truly enjoyed the pizzas, I purchased a deal voucher to re-visit Famoso. I wanted to see if their pizzas taste just as good without the live guidance of chef Caporuscio. I wanted to do it now also because of our recent trip to Naples, where we had the authentic Neapolitan pizzas from L'Antica Pizzeria da Michele, a local pizzeria that has been around since 1870.

[Wines] Mediterranean Mingle: Food Paired with Wines from South of France

The second event of the Vancouver International Wine Festival that we went to was the Mediterranean Mingle. It's a grazing lunch. There were a number of Mediterranean-inspired dishes being put out, with suggested wine pairings. They suggested some classic pairings, but also "out of the box" pairings. Keeping up with the French theme, the focus was on wines from South of France.

Bestie – Sausage Party in Chinatown

There's a new bratwurst in town that I keep hearing about from people and it took me awhile to figure out where it was. There are two styles to the dishes, one is currywurst in which they slice the sausage for you and put it on top of fries with house made curry ketchup; the other is the sausage and sauerkraut where they leave the sausage whole, with fries and sauerkraut on the side.
