Mr. and I went to a coffee tasting experience with Umbria Coffee Roasters. We tasted a variety of their coffee, learned about the philosophy of roasting Italian style coffee, and even had a chance to play barista with their commercial espresso machine. We went home with some of the Caffe Umbria products and of course, we put what we learned to the test.
Mr. and I got a taste of what our post-pandemic world while exploring Vancouver’s North Shore Ale Trail for three days in early July. We checked out a total of 17 spots in North Vancouver, including 9 craft breweries.
There are so many options in Greater Vancouver for craft beer lovers to find amazing food and beer pairings. If you are looking for a date night idea, or to try something different while still being able to enjoy a pint or two, I've put together a list of 8 restaurants ranging from Lebanese to pan-Asian cuisine, to Italian favourites and hidden gem fine-dining.
Goat curry, fiddlehead Chinese sausage stir-fry, sea asparagus & broccoli microgreens salad, and goat milk yogurt with mint, dried date, pistachio and honey…how's that for a dinner menu?! This menu was made possible with an interesting selection of products available at directfood.store, an online grocery platform that provides a digital marketplace for local farms. I recently ordered a delivery, complimentary of the company, and I was intrigued by what they offer.
I am excited to be a part of the NBRHD Restaurant Development Program, initiated by REEF Technology, to help Vancouver restaurants launch a delivery business. The restaurant industry has been hit hard this past year due to COVID, and many have turned to delivery and other innovative ways to keep their business afloat. This private grant money will provide some relief to a few restaurants, and perhaps help expand, preserve, or resurrect some beloved culinary concepts from going under and be lost forever.
