I’ve recently returned from an extraordinary couple of weeks of eating fine food and tasting top-flight wine in BC, as well as cooking with friends more locally (Thanks for the pix Ross). This has not done anything positive for my waistline. It has, however helped me develop my palate a bit more, and afforded me the time to reflect on what is on our own doorstep.
While we might not have the variety and abundance of extraordinary ultra-fresh seafood available to left coasters, we have nothing to be shy about in the local wine and food department, nor any lack of culinary talent to transform it. For instance I had the opportunity to cook earlier this week under the watchful eye of Anthony Greco. He’s the talented new Chef de Cuisine at Zest Restaurant in Fonthill.
Our menu included locally-produced foods, with tasty elements such as fall berries, the first (oh so flavourful)
