food, photography and my creative life
Even though I feel like I’m slowly getting my writing groove back, I find I kind of like doing these Wordless Wednesday posts. So I think I might keep doing them. It’s a nice way to share photos. Today’s are from the new Chef’s Tasting Menu at Vancouver’s Mosaic at the Hyatt. It’s running from June 14th – 28th. I got to taste every dish
Back in late spring of last year, I tried out a little Vancouver street food truck on the recommendation that they had the city’s best fish tacos. The truck was called Tacofino and, they were indeed the best fish tacos I’d had in Vancouver. Crunchy, lightly battered fish with remarkably fresh toppings. I ate it with great gusto sitting on the art gallery steps on
I’m not a big one for food media events. I find them loud and crowded, everyone angling for a handful of samples from the latest menu or shoving a camera in your way so they can get a badly lit blurry photo. I’m shy and not very pushy and I get frustrated with crowds or people who are just being rude by not being considerate
Last week Sean and I had the opportunity to visit Cocoa Nymph Chocolates and Confections, here in Vancouver, and have a behind the scenes look with owner and head chocolatiere, Rachel Sawatsky.

The market, which is modeled after an authentic German Christmas market, is open from November 24th till December 24th at the Queen Elizabeth Theatre Plaza in the downtown core. It’s festive, bright and full of delicious sites, smells and tastes! Full of traditional wooden booths offering
I have heard nothing but good things about DD Mau since it opened in Yaletown along Pacific Boulevard – fresh local seafood and meat and amazing spices. So I was looking forward to giving this package a try.
Time to hit the road for another dining package from the fellows at VANEATS.ca. This time me and Food Husband were off to Whet Kitchen. Bar. Patio on Granville Island for the Whet Your Appetite package and we brought along Ethan from Feeding Ethan to help us out.
Bacon is super trendy right now. Like in a bit of a weird obsessive way I think. Don’t get me wrong… I loves me some bacon more than most things in this world. I don’t like it crispy. Oh no. It has to be that perfect way between being just coked and not over done. Chewy, not crunchy. And thick sliced, slightly smoky. It is
The latest package to come from VANEATS.ca is Cray-vings dining pass from Cray Kitchen + Bar on Main Street in Vancouver and it’s a unique and fun dining experience with some great food
Sometimes, as bloggers, we get some pretty cool opportunities presented to us that give us a chance to take part in something we might not otherwise ever get to do. I am, what I would consider to be, a very niche food blogger, as many of us are. My posts are about figuring out how to be a better food photographer. Yes, recipes and restaurants
