600 people standing in a field eating and drinking. Wow. That may not sound that exciting, but let me tell you — it was. Feast of Fields is an event put on by the Farm Folk City Folk organization and is held annually in the Okanagan, Lower Mainland, and on Vancouver Island. This year’s Okanagan [...]

Bacheloritis: Lone Steak

Bacheloritis: Lone Steak

Every now and again bacheloritis sets in and rather than try to fight it sometimes it’s best to run with it. Like the old saying goes, “if you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em.” For this dinner I decided to go with the culinary equivalent of leaving the toilet seat up — a plain steak. No [...]

Burgoo Lunch

Burgoo Lunch

I’ve been to Burgoo many times for dinner and love the hearty homestyle concept of stews and tagine dishes. I’m a big fan of the Lamb Tagine with couscous. I’d never really given Burgoo much thought for lunch, but after a morning of biking in North Van I was starving and the line-up at the [...]

Trout Lake Farmers Market Debit Card Payment

Trout Lake Farmers Market Debit Card Payment

Technology and the farmer’s market are not two things that I would normally associate or even want to bring together, but it’s the perfect example of when modern devices can really solve a problem in a way that doesn’t detract from the basic message of what a farmer’s market is about, which would be down [...]

Jemaa El Fna Market Marrakech

Jemaa El Fna Market Marrakech

The sights, sounds and smells of the Jemaa El Fna market (pronounced Jem-ah el fenna) are one of the great treats of a trip to the desert city of Marrakech in Morocco. If you enter the giant square from the west you’ll play “human Frogger” to cross the many lanes of traffic to get to [...]

Boutouil Bab Doukkala Marrakech

On my recent trip to Marrakech in Morocco I stumbled on a great spot by staying at the Riad Clementine. Located just inside the walls of the Medina, the food souk known as Bab Doukkala was a great place to call home for a handful of days. The area is an authentic and not-so-touristy part [...]

Burger 55 The Best Burger in Penticton

Burger 55 is without a doubt the best burger in Penticton, and very possibly one of the best burgers in the Okanagan. The place is an eclectic transformation of an old back-lot tire shack into a gourmet burger shop, and makes for a great lunch or dinner stop. The menu is a full custom order [...]

Holy Crêpe

Holy Crêpe

The start of the Farmers Market in Penticton is always exciting as it marks the beginning of the good eating season. After a winter of eating pale flavourless vegetables we can go back to the glory of eating from the garden. Waking up and going straight to Carol’s crêpe cart for breakfast is also quickly [...]

Halibut and Pinotage

Halibut and Pinotage

I’ve been on a bit of a seafood kick this last week or two cooking whatever fresh ocean goodness I can get my hands on. When you live in landlocked wine country it is important to buy your fish somewhere reputable. In Penticton, the best place to buy fish hands down, is Buy The Sea. [...]
