[VanFoodies eat Vegas] Jean Philippe Patisserie at Aria
I made sure as part of my Vegas trip with my girlfriends that we check out one of the Jean Philippe Patisseries.
Nestle Toll House Cafe
I didn’t grow up with a lot of baked goods. It wasn’t really a part of my culture. Not surprisingly, it wasn’t long until I started to take a liking to them. After all, who can say no to a soft, moist, and buttery cookie? Well I certainly couldn’t. This is the only Nestle Toll House store in BC, and in Canada for that matter (strange choice, because you would assume most chains would open their flagship store in Vancouver or Toronto). Like a bakery, all the sweets are displayed at the front of the shop. There are various types of desserts, with the majority being cookies. They also have smoothies and Nescafe products.
Chocolate Festival 2010 – Chocolate, Wine and More Chocolate
After attending the Great Wine & Chocolate Dessert Challenge two weeks ago, we received invitations to two more Chocolate Festival 2010 events. Mr. and I attended both events this weekend, making it a chocolate trilogy. And here is Part 2 and Part 3 of the Chocolate Festival Saga. We'd like to thank Dawn Donahue, Festival Director, for inviting us to the events. And a big congratulations to all festival staff and volunteers for putting on such a great series of chocolate filled events this year.
Chocolate Festival 2010 – The Great Wine & Dessert Challenge
Thanks to Vancouver Foodster, I scored two free tickets to attend a Chocolate Festival event - The Great Wine & Dessert Challenge. It took place last Sunday night at Place des Arts in Coquitlam. At the event we got to taste 5 dessert wines, paired with 5 chocolate-inspired desserts by Gourmet Baker. John Gerum from West Coast Wine Education led the event by explaining the dessert wine production and how to pair chocolate with wine & liquer.
