Fresh ingredients, handpicked produce, moderate spice and a blend of sweet, salty and sour are some of the hallmarks of Cambodian cuisine. They’re part of what Panha Neou and Sophea Heang, co-founders of Angkor Harvest, are offering to Vancouver Farmers Market customers. The pair also share knowledge about their culture and traditional farming methods and, as immigrants, emphasize the importance of sharing culinary traditions with their two young daughters.

It’s January. The days are short and dark, the weather cold and damp, the mood generally gloomy, especially for those of us who overindulged in December and are peering anxiously at the scale and our credit card bills. This is, in so many ways, the month of reckoning.

It is also the month of soup. Soup warms the body and soothes the soul while making the most of often humble ingredients. As the pioneering chef Auguste Escoffier once said, “Soup puts the heart at ease, calms down the violence of hunger, eliminates the tension of the day and awakens and refines the appetite.” Soup may not cure everything that ails you, but it will certainly make you feel better about it.

And Vancouver is simply awash in great soup, from classic chowders to spicy bowls of broth packed with noodles and dumplings. Some, it is true, teeter on the edge between soup and stew or even porridge — congee, for instance, or laksa, or bouillabaisse. But we’re not fussy. If we need a spoon to eat it, we’ll happily call it soup.

Consider this your guide to finding beautiful soup around town."

Rooted in tradition and family values, El Salvador Bar & Grill started as a family dream, hoping to celebrate El Salvador’s vibrant culinary heritage. This family-owned restaurant in West Kelowna celebrates Central American flavours and authentic Salvadoran dishes.

“Salvadoran cuisine is a vibrant blend of flavours, textures and cultural influences that reflect the country’s rich history and diverse ingredients,” says manager Rachel Murga. “We strive to celebrate and promote the rich culinary traditions of El Salvador while providing an enjoyable dining experience for those trying Salvadoran cuisine for the first time.”

Located in the heart of Maple Ridge, The Nut Coffee Shop - Maple Ridge, BC creates a true taste of community with its menu, which is partly curated from products of neighbouring small businesses, including Bonus Bakery, To Live For, Once Upon a Tea Leaf, and Wendel’s True Foods.

“We want to support community initiatives to help build that
sense of togetherness in Maple Ridge through quality coffee
and snacks,” explains Mitch Davies, who took ownership in September 2024.

Sprout Bread, a Kelowna-based artisan bakery specializing in naturally fermented sourdough, opened its doors in 2018 — a milestone quickly followed by the marriage of owners Peter and Ava van Boekhout just three weeks later. Anchored with a passion for craft baking and locally sourced and milled flour from Treasure Life Flour Mills in Creston, B.C., Sprout Bread is more than a bakery. It’s a community space designed to bring people together.

Close your eyes. Now think about a time when you walked into a kitchen or bakery where freshly baked bread or cookies just came out of the oven. The air is warm as the sweet fragrant aroma lingers, offering a nostalgic embrace. That first whiff is almost magical, creating a profound sense of comfort and home… transporting you back to a different time and place.

With Babette's Bread: Stories, Recipes, and the Fundamental Techniques of Artisan Bread and Crust Bakery: Essential Sweets and Savories from Victoria’s Beloved Bakery, two recently released cookbooks, the authors demystify the process of baking, making it feel accessible and achievable.

A well-made cocktail isn’t just a delicious drink. It is a story, a journey, an adventure in a glass. It takes science and culture, adds ice, and shakes it all up into something exciting and new. A cocktail can be light and refreshing, dark and complex, sweet and deceptively boozy or virtuously alcohol-free. Most of all, a cocktail marks the end of the workday and the beginning of fun times.

And now Vancouver sipsters have even more choices. The last few months have seen a sudden surge in new cocktail-forward establishments, including Meo Chinatown, Prophecy at Hotel Georgia and Good Thief. These three lounges combine great food, drink, ambience and really stylish concepts. As Amelie Nguyen, co-owner of Good Thief, says, “We’re doing things differently. We’re a bit rebellious.”

11/26/2024

"Crunchy walnuts coated with a layer of chewy fruit juice. Finding a way to describe it is one of the biggest challenges we face,” says Daniel Nielsen, co-owner of Chella. He’s speaking of churchkhela (pronounced church-ELLA), a traditional snack from Georgia, in eastern Europe, where co-owner Mark Dubman’s family has roots.

In the company’s commissary kitchen, bundles of churchkhelas hang from metal racks to dry. The strings of fruit-juice-coated nuts look like sausages hung to cure, albeit sweet ones. Nielsen acknowledges that the uniqueness of the product is a double- edged sword; it’s intriguing but requires some explanation. He calls it a “sweet, but not-too-sweet, dessert,” and likens the texture of the fruity exterior to a fruit roll-up from the lunch boxes of school days gone by.

Ginger cultivation is unexpected in the Pacific Northwest. Most of the global production of ginger is in Asian and African countries, currently known as a cultivar. How then did this perennial rhizome become a commercial crop in the farthest reaches of Abbotsford, B.C., where winter’s bite can sometimes get fierce?

Riyad Reid and his mother, Sharmin Gamiet, owner of Olera Farms, trialled a small batch about seven years ago and have doubled the crop each subsequent year. “It has become more and more popular,” Reid says. “It started out as something experimental, which we tend to do on the farm.”
