It was only last summer when I sat on a restaurant It was only last summer when I sat on a restaurant patio in downtown Vancouver enjoying some local fare, it already feels like an eternity ago, and this covid life started much earlier than that. Many are now reflecting on the past almost 14 months of the new normal that has changed our lives forever, the new normal version 8.0 and counting. I don't think a restaurant owner wants to hear about pivoting for the rest of their ....... Of course their are many positivities that have come with the disappointments. Many have defined Vancouver's restaurant scene as diverse and vibrant, while it is vibrant, I don't believe it's as diverse as say Toronto or other world renown cities. We have incredible Asian fare from a wide range of Asian cultures, we have many extraordinary Italian restaurants, we celebrate the bounty of what's local, and we had welcomed tourists from all over the world pre-covid. To be diverse in the foodie world, means that we should be celebrating and enjoying the foods from almost all over the globe. Thankfully there are some wonderful cookbooks that explore all of the world's cultures, we are just missing many of those in our city dining scene. With this in mind, I am looking forward to hosting my next IG Live on Monday May 3rd at 5pm Pacific, that will focus on Chilean cuisine. My guests will include Pilar Hernandez (Houston, Texas) @enmicocinahoy and Eileen Smith (Santiago, Chile) @bearshapedsphere Authors of @thechileankitchen please join us on instagram to learn about the foods of Chile and more!
Made these Cauliflower Tostadas for a tasty plant- Made these Cauliflower Tostadas for a tasty plant-based dinner with the @lachulamexicankitchen Maple Salsa Macha drizzled on top. Loved the flavours of this locally produced salsa which is more like a chili oil that has some heat than the type of Mexican salsa we have all come to know in Mexican restaurants. Here is the recipe, you can adjust and make your own version by switching up the ingredients as you wish, and you can find the sauce by dm La Chula. INGREDIENTS: 1 head of cauliflower 2 tomatoes 2 carrots 1/2 red onion Cilantro Juice of half a lime Sesame oil Olive oil Black pepper Granulated garlic 1 Avocado Tostadas La Chula Maple Salsa Macha INSTRUCTIONS: 1) Mix chopped cauliflower, diced carrot, tomato (seeded), and red onions, add chopped cilantro, lime juice, olive oil and sesame oil. 2) Season with black pepper and granulated garlic. Let it sit for a couple of hours for better flavor. 3) Serve with tostadas, avocado and @lachulamexicankitchen Maple Salsa Macha
