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.
[News] $125K Grant Program to Support Vancouver Restaurants in Launching Delivery Concepts
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.

[Recipe] Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Grapes
The other day I got some Chilean grapes. Their skin wasn't too thick and the grapes had a lot of flavour, mostly sweet with just a hint of acidity and tannin. I was looking up savoury recipes to prepare grapes, and I came across a roasted grapes and brussels sprouts recipe. What a clever idea! I kept on reading a number of similar recipes and adapted to create the following, with an Asian twist by adding Chinese sausage.
