BC Spot Prawn Season

Posted on by
Reply

It’s like Christmas time for foodies right now.  Once a year and only for 8 weeks BC Spot Prawns are in season.  Many of Vancouver’s restaurants are using these gems in dishes and even dedicating whole menus to the succulent West Coast crustacean.  I was invited to check out the 1st catch of the season come into dock and go right into C’s kitchen to be cooked up for us and diners doing the Spot Prawn tasting menu.  We all eagerly awaited the boats arrival with the prawns on-board.

What makes BC Spot Prawns so special is the face the season only runs for 8 weeks (May-June) and the fishery for them is completely sustainable so the fish stocks aren’t being affected at all.  They are also ethically raised and sourced.  Until 2005 most of the Spot Prawns were exported to Japan and we used to miss out since the fishery has been set up we now get our fair share of these beauty’s.

Here they come!

You can view the video of the harvest (The guy in the picture shot if for the Vancouver Sun) by clicking here.

We all were served some tasty bites while we waited for the prawns to be cooked up and brought out.

The first set of bites we were served were BC poached Spot Prawns with a yuzu jelly, Quail’s Egg topped with truffle aioli and crispy bacon and watermelon with a crispy basil garnish.  All of these were really good.  The eggs were perfectly cooked and of course the bacon was a perfect complement to the egg.  BC Spot Prawns and yuzu jelly were a natural pairing of sweet seafood and the citrus from the yuzu.

Lastly the watermelon and crispy basil was a nice clean, refreshing bite.  There was also smoked salmon bites with goats cheese that I had when I came here for Dine Out 2012.

Golden, pink and red beets topped with creme frache and thyme were also passed around the deck.  Beets are one of my favorite items and I really liked these.  I tend to like the red beets more because they are sweeter than the golden beets I find.

Seared tuna bites with a ponzu were cooked perfectly.  The inside was beautifully rare and just seared on the outside enough to add some firm texture, the sauce was a nice touch and added a bright salty hit to the bite.

These were the star of the event.

The whole BC Spot Prawns served whole in a pool of garlic butter.  Saying these are hands on are an understatement.  You get in there with your hands and twist the head off and strip the tail of shell and such.  The heads could be sucked like a crawfish head if you like to get the pure essence of the Spot Prawn-it’s not my thing but i made sure my head didn’t go to waste.  The meat is sweet and tender and reminded me of a little lobster tail!

The event was alot of fun and I enjoyed the delicious treats and drinks.  Get out there and enjoy some of there completely unique to BC treats before there all gone.

Cactus Club Cafe English Bay

The new Cactus Club Cafe at English Bay has not only become known for its amazing view but it’s also a place where you could find a 90 minute or more wait for a table at dinner.  I made my visit on a lunch hour so I was able to get a table on the patio without a problem.

The location does have all the favorite items on the Cactus Club menu but there are also a couple of dishes that are completely unique to this location.

I started with the Ravioli and Prawn Trio.  A Rob Feenie Signature Dish.  Tender jumbo prawns and silky butternut squash filling team up with a rich truffle infused sauce and pine nuts.  I was really surprised how rich this dish would be-it was a filling appy and surprised me for only being 3 ravioli.  The pasta was Al dente and the right thickness for being fresh pasta.  This is a winning dish that I would order again

Tuna tataki and prawn salad with mango, cucumber, radish, crispy shallots and a yuzu vinaigrette for $17.  Another Rob Feenie Signature Dish. I like salads and this was a winner for me, the tart yuzu/soy dressing was a perfect compliment to the tuna and prawns.  The seafood and fish were really fresh and the tuna melted in my mouth, the prawns were plump and juicy.  The greens in the salad were also nice and fresh, the mango was the star of the mix and I would have loved more in it.  Again I’d order this and recommend it for a nice light but filling lunch.

Chocolate Peanut Butter Crunch Bar – with Tahitian vanilla ice cream, caramel sauce and crunchy chocolate pearls.  This tasted like a gourmet Wunderbar!  The caramel sauce was thick and rich.  The chocolate bar itself was amazing, it melted in my mouth and the peanut butter flavor was just right.  The ice cream was rich, creamy and smooth with the perfect amount of vanilla flavor.  This is a must try for peanut butter and chocolate fans.

At the end of the day I had a great lunch and with a great selection of items I’d say it’s a great fit for a leisure lunch or romantic dinner with that killer English Bay sunset that we all love so much.

Bistro 101 on Granville Island

This week I found myself having to head to Granville Island to get some ingredients for a recipe in a cookbook I’m in the process of testing and in need of lunch and not wanting to deal with the crowded market scene I stopped into Bistro 101 at the Pacific Culinary Institute.

For lunch they offer a 3 course menu for $18 and it’s different everyday.  What I love about this place is that your served by the students but not only are they learning the art of service but they are also involved in the kitchen!, I did a course when I was a teenager at VCC and worked for a summer in JJ’s Dining Room and it was an awesome experience for myself so I can relate to the awkwardness that happened with service but the one thing I will say is everyone was really attentive and professional.

After I checked out the menu and made my selections one of the pastry students came by my table and brought out some fresh bread and butter and also took my dessert order~turns out she’s the one who made my choice~a deconstructed s’more that I saw as I was being seated.

Another student came by my table with a chilled amuse-bouche of a Puttanesca Prawn, it was an interesting bite but the prawn for me was over powered by the puttanesca sauce.

For my appy I had 3 choices~a mushroom egg drop soup,Oceanwise baby shrimp and avocado spring mix greens in a rice paper roll or a honey and five-spice quail~all decent choices on there own~I went with the Oceanwise choice.  The rice paper roll was served with a miso tahini sauce, the baby shrimp were cooked perfectly and there were a ton of them in there and the avocado spring mix filled out the roll perfectly, the avocado added a beautiful creaminess with the sauce underneath.  this is something that I would totally make at home on my own~avocado is going in all my rolls from now on!

Entrée wise there was a Grilled Beef Striploin with a devil sauce, Pan Fried Mahi Mahi that was a Oceanwise choice and was on the tropical side~served with a berry salsa and ginger coconut pilaf and to round out the choices the poultry option was a Smoked Turkey & Emmenthal Stuffed Chicken Breast with a basil tomato veloute and herb polenta~my choice!  The chicken was cooked thoroughly yet was moist and flavorful, the skin on top was nice and crisp, the smoked turkey added flavor and the cheese rounded everything out.  The sauce on the bottom was rich but not overly thick which was nice and the tomato side added a great acidic note to this rich dish, the herb polenta was flavored with thyme and was on the solid side~it was a disk under the tomato so it was perfect on get all that yummy sauce off the plate.

Dessert wise the choices were a Sour Cherry Vanilla Cake with a pistachio fig ice cream and hazelnut tuile, an Apple Crumble with vanilla ice cream and my choice~a Neoclassical S’more with a chocolate sorbet and homemade marshmallow on top.

The s’more part was a cake bottom, the creamy milk chocolate mousse middle wasn’t to sweet and the homemade marshmallow capped off a great dessert.

The chocolate sorbet was like nothing I’ve had before, it was totally smooth and intensely flavored with dark chocolate, paired with the milk chocolate mousse it made for one rich chocolate lovers dessert.  Graham cracker crumble rounded out the plate.

After taxes my bill came in at under $21 and they don’t take tips, they also offer a dinner service for $24 and buffet on Fridays, I’d advise making reservations for larger groups~they are a member of the Opentable reservation program if you’re a member or you can do so right on their webpage by clicking here.  The dining room is also fully licensed and has a deal on Wednesdays where all bottles of wine are half price (Promotion is not applicable on theme dinners, special events or bookings made through the Corporate, Catering & Event Department unless otherwise stated).  I had a great lunch here and I can’t wait to come back for many more great lunches and dinners!  I’d recommend it to anybody heading down to Granville Island looking for a great lunch or dinner at an amazing price.

BC Home and Garden Show 2012

BC Place is home this year to the BC Home and Garden Show and I was more than happy to check it out seeing a couple of good friends house was featured on the cover and in the official publication for the show plus they had one of my favorite things-BBQ!

On the opening day there was a pulled pork cook off that featured the Memphis Blues crew, Re-Up BBQ and the entrée winner from Recipe To Riches Robert Luft and the event was judged by Follow Me Foodie as well as a couple other local journalist’s.  Robert came out the winner in the end and faced some stiff competition and I wish I could have been their to check out the action.

I finally made the show on the weekend and luckily I got to catch the owners of Memphis Blues BBQ~George Siu and Park Heffelfinger take the Outdoor Entertaining stage with their BBQ presentation to a packed house with Karen Barnaby of the Fish House in Stanley Park doing the commentary.

With plenty of interaction with the audience George and Park whipped up some of their signature house rub and made some of the house classics like BBQ rub seasoned shrimp, brisket and ribs with a side of pulled pork of course!

Karen picked some random seats before the presentation and those lucky 4 people were treated to a chow down and beer pairing for the eats made on stage.

Memphis Blues had a booth set up with their selection of rubs and sauces available for purchase and to sample of there pulled pork, also they are available to pick up in their restaurants and soon to be in fine grocery and kitchen specialty stores.  The sauces were good and the new mustard based sauce was my favorite hands down, also there rubs are MSG free.

Chester and Michael from Re-Up BBQ did a stage show also but later on in the evening doing a chicken dish and a matching bourbon cocktail to go with it.

ManCakes Bakery was also there with samples of some of the ManCakes line up of unique flavor combinations.  The Buffalo Wing, King Kong and the Apple Brie were available for tasting, I wolfed down the Buffalo Wing mini~a very interesting flavor combo that I quite liked.

The King Kong was a rich chocolate cake with an espresso hint and a banana butter cream, I got more chocolate flavor and coffee than banana in this one but still it was delicious.

Apple Brie was what I would describe as the underdog flavor and it was my favorite out of all that tried, the spice cake with the brie butter cream and crushed pretzel brittle on top was a prefect flavor combo that used the creaminess of the brie perfectly.  I’ll be surely ordering a 6 pack of their “day pack” flavors to chow down on.

At the end of the day I had a great tome at the home show and got to see some interesting things that just went beyond food for a change and I’ll definitely be back next year to the 2013 BC Home and Garden Show.

To Die For Bacon Banana Bread

The lovely lady who brought us To Die For Banana Bread~Erin Ireland has come up with a new addition to the banana bread line up and it’s available exclusively at the Save On Meats Butcher Shop and as a dessert item at the Save On Meats Diner next door.  You can pick up whole loaves at the butcher shop, there priced as follows-$10 for a medium and $15 for a large (the one I purchased was a medium size) and the desert size~2 slices for $5 in the diner

It’s that perfect mix of sweet and salty that is addictive as all heck and is a definite must try. It’s got candied double smoked Save On Meats bacon added to the wonderful banana bread recipe that Erin Ireland’s become so famous for, the Callebaut Chocolate runs through out this beast and adds a great color and flavor to the loaf, Erin also uses organic bananas in her recipe. You can pick up whole loaves at the Save On Meats Butcher shop, there priced as follows-$10 for a medium and $15 for a large (the one I purchased was a medium size).

The bread sells out quick in the butcher shop, it’s restocked daily but I’d advise getting there early if you would like to purchase some and you could also try giving them a call to see what quantity’s are like.

C Restaurant

On my first dine out adventure I checked out C Restaurant on beautiful False Creek. Seeing it was my first ever Dine Out dinner I felt it appropriate to invite @MaryInVancity with me, she has been here before for brunch and really loved her experience, you can read about it here.

I used the Open Table reservation service to book us a table, I’m new to that type of service and I loved how easy it was to book and also see what times are available for your visit plus you earn points that can be used for restaurant gift certificates for future dining, I arrived and was greeted by name at the door and the hostess quickly offered to check my coat seeing it was raining out, the service is really great and what you would expect for a fine dining restaurant.

The room is a split level space with a more intimate dining area upstairs, the room downstairs is all about the False Creek view with floor to ceiling windows, the space was not so busy when we got there so it was pretty quiet with soft music playing in the background but as the night went on it got packed and the volume definitely went up.

C is all about the Ocean Wise fish and seafood program and head Chef Robert Clark is the man in the kitchen coming up with innovative dishes that really you can’t get anywhere else. The restaurant is part of the Kambollis group of restaurants that include The Rain City Grill and Nu Greek.

Like I said we were here for Dine Out 2012 and they were offering a unique 4 course menu for $38~all the other restaurants in town that are offering the $38 menu are only offering 3 courses, you also have the option of adding additional courses for a nominal charge and also wine pairings are available if you choose.

We were served some complementary house made bread and butter, the bread here is delicious, one of the types were served is their famous seaweed bread, both Mary and I loved this, it’s such a nice treat when a restaurant makes delicious in-house bread.

Our amuse bouche was a Smoked Salmon Cannelloni with Preserved Lemon and Creme Friache. The salmon was melt in your mouth tender and the creamy yet slightly tart creme friache added another nice note of richness. I’m not a big smoked salmon fan and I really liked this I must say, the salmon smoke wasn’t too strong so it would appeal to a wide range of dinners.

For our first course I chose the sautéed BC Spot Prawns with kale,chilli, lime and romesco sauce for a $9 extra charge. They were succulent and really good!, the romesco sauce added a great smoked note to the plate, the kale was a great touch but the chilli and lime didn’t really come through.

Mary went with the Northern Arm Farms Beet Panzanella salad with harissa dressing and shaved ricotta, this is the standard first course on the Dine Out menu. We ended up sharing so we split all the dishes in half to get an accurate taste of the menu and did this for the whole dinner. The harissa wasn’t too strong or spicy, the beets were pickled and are a favorite of mine and Mary’s. We both loved this dish and would order it again.

For my second course I went with the Poached Lobster with a lemon herb risotto and a cognac creme, it was a $12 extra charge for this dish and I think it was worth it, there was a nice big lobster claw on top and the dish was smothered in cognac cream, the lobster for mine and Mary’s taste was over cooked and quite firm, besides that one negative it was a great bowl of risotto, the rice was perfectly cooked and it all went down quite nicely!

The other second course was a seared Albacore Tuna with a Winter minestrone, Parmesan pistou and crisp basil. Melt in your mouth tender tuna and a hearty Winter minestrone with orzo pasta was a great accompaniment to the tuna, there was also a basil pesto on the plate that rounded out the plate and reminded me of an Italian tuna dish.

The main course or third course in this menu they are offering a lake Babine Salmon with a squash puree and almond tapenade. The salmon was nice and pink inside, the flavor was nice and rich and was the star of the plate that is for sure. Both of us enjoyed this a lot.

Mary wanted to try the beef option on the menu, for $12 extra they had a Roasted Beef Tenderloin with a walnut polenta, tarragon butter and confit of Portobello mushroom, there was also candied dates on the plate. It was a great beef dish and I ended up cleaning the plate clean, the walnut polenta accented the beef nicely but the Portobello mushroom was a bit to mushroomy for my taste.

We both opted for the Lemon and Olive Oil Sorbet palette cleanser for $4, they served this with little shortbread cookies, it really worked to get our palette ready for dinner.

The standard dessert on the menu is a Spiced Chocolate Pudding with caramelized rice cereal and a Chantilly cream.

It was also available with an orange sorbet for a small extra charge, Mary for this on her plate and I took a taste~it was great but I like my chocolate without orange and would love this on its own (I know the sorbet looks like the olive oil lemon kind we also had but it was definitely orange!). The pudding was spiced with cardamom and the flavors were GREAT!, the caramelized rice cereal wasn’t too sweet and added a nice texture to the pudding, the Chantilly cream rounded out everything nicely.

We had a great time at C and I wold come back and check it out for a lunch seeing they have a killer patio in the summer, our bill after our add-on’s, taxes and a beer I had came out to $142~definitely a bit more than we were thinking but when splitting the bill down the middle it came to $80/person including tip which wasn’t so bad for a 2 hour dinner and as a bonus Mijune Pak was dining in the restaurant so it was finally nice to meet and dish about food with the lovely @FollowMeFoodie but the menu could have been clearer with what courses were extra!

C Restaurant is also Zagat rated and can be checked out here.

The Four Seasons Vancouver YEW Restaurant and Bar

If you’re looking for a treat meal one place to definitely keep in mind is YEW restaurant and bar in the Four Seasons Hotel in downtown Vancouver.

The room is huge and beautifully decorated, the huge fireplace is a great divider between the open dining room and the bar/lounge area.  The service here is top-notch and your every need is taken care of effortlessly, the staff are very knowledgeable on the menu and take the time to answer any questions you could have.

Canadian chef Ned Bell came on board as the Executive Chef for YEW in August 2011 and the menu was completely reworked to what we have now, he brings his own food philosophy ‘Globally Inspired and Locally Created,’ – a process that begins with premium ingredients, sourcing the best of what is available locally and seasonally, and then focusing on flavor to the YEW space and to the menu and it totally shows.

I started with a Kronenbourg Blanc for $8 and glass, this is a favorite beer of mine.  It’s light and has a lavender floral note sightly, it was perfect to cut through the richness of my main and also works with a variety of different foods~if your new to drinking beer give this one a try.

This was my main and man did it hit the spot!, delicious lobster mac and cheese with corn and an amazing creamy sauce tied it all together nicely.

At $22 a bowl its on the high-end but it’s worth it if you’re looking for a treat, there was lobster chunks through out and the lobster was cooked perfectly, the tender buttery pieces of lobster melts in your mouth and its bathed in a rich buttery sauce that isn’t cheesy.  The sprinkling of bread crumbs on top were the perfect garnish.

For dessert I went with their dessert trio.  It features all three of their dessert tapas and for $8 it’s a great deal.  They also have fresh berry pies and fresh fruit crumble on the menu if that’s more of what you’re looking for and also they offer a cheese selection.

Duck egg custard tart was first up, it was a rich and creamy custard with hints of vanilla, the pastry for the tart was the perfect vessel for this yummy dessert.   The one thing i was concerned with when ordering this was the duck egg flavor and if it would be to intense but I didn’t taste any kind of eggy flavor in the dish.

This is a Australian Candied Sugar Cherry Ravioli in a young coconut pineapple consomme.  It’s molecular gastronomy and was a blast to eat, you take it like a shooter and when you squish the cherry ravioli it explodes in your mouth and you taste a flood of sweet cherry juice.  I could throw back 5 or 6 of these!

Finally we have the Espresso Banana Milk Chocolate Lollipop.  The espresso is in the homemade marshmallow that encapsulates the lollipop, inside the milk chocolate is semi soft and melts in your mouth, all of the flavors combined with a definite treat.

If your interested in checking out YEW feel free to visit there website here  and if you’re looking for a great hotel check out the Vancouver Four Seasons website here and follow them on Twitter @FSVancouver .

Recipe To Riches Week 4 Winner

Posted on by
Reply

The Food Network show Recipe To Riches is coming along nicely and this weeks winner scored big in the savoury pie category and she’s a hometown BC girl and a $25,000 prize winner for her recipe!

I would have liked to put up this post on the weekend but I’ve had a hard time finding this product-it seems a lot of other people also like the pie seeing it was sold out on 4 different trips to the grocery store but I think they’ve worked out the supply issues because I was in the store yesterday and they had lots of product in stock now.

Here is a bit about this weeks winner Melaney Gleeson-Lyall:

Melaney’s love of cooking is surpassed only by the immense pride she has in her First Nations origins.  Melanie was born on the Coast Salish Territory of British Columbia and when she was just over a week old she became the newest member of a big loving foster family, joining nine older siblings. As she grew up, her foster mother encouraged Melaney to learn about her heritage and to seek out her roots.  At the age of 25, she was reunited with her birth mother and became fully reconnected with her beginnings.  It was that sense of fulfillment and identity that would lead Melaney back to cooking school as an adult and, eventually, to a job at a First Nations restaurant.  A reunion , of sorts , of two of her life’s biggest passions.

Melaney’s winning dish was a Bannock Hazelnut Pie and you can find the original winning recipe here if you want to make it yourself and you can also see her entire episode on Foodnetwork.ca .  The final product that made it to store shelves is pretty close to what was presented in the show, it’s a savoury potpie with root vegetables and butternut squash with hazelnuts in a savoury sauce topped with sweet potato bannock.

Usually the President’s Choice pies are ready to bake right out of the box but this one was a bit different, with this pie you bake the pie filling base for 30 minutes at 400*F and mix the bannock topping in a bowl and add it to the pie after the first 30 mins of baking.

 

 After mixing the bannock mix with 3 tablespoons of water your simply roll it out and top the pie, put it back in the oven and turn down the temp to 375*F, 30 mins later you have a delicious hot meal on the table.

 This is one dish that really won me over.  The filling inside is a combination of butternut squash, sweet potato, carrots, onions and celery.  With the addition of the hazelnuts you have a completely vegetarian meal that gives 10g of protein in a serving.  For someone who is a total meat eater this pie really satisfied me and I’d have it again for a meatless Monday dinner.  At $8.99 it’s a great price and will feed 3 people nicely if you add a side salad or something else to go along with it.  The sauce for the pie if flavorful and has the same seasonings that a butternut squash soup would have in it-or at least that’s the way it tasted to me.  The bannock topping was nice and tender and added a great texture to the pie as you ate it.

You can get this winning product as well as all the other winners where Presidents Choice products are sold across Canada.

Edible Canada At The Market

Edible Canada and the Granville Island Public Market has opened it’s doors and is offering something that is a perfect fit on the island and is serving up some authentic local fare that is partially sourced right from the on site public market. It’s more than just restaurant here though, they offer public market tours, chef table market dinners and one of the best patios in Vancouver.

They also offer a store featuring all Canadian products, you can also get Championship BBQ Pit Master Rockin’ Ron Shewchuk’s BBQ pulled pork that’s vacuumed sealed and just needs to be reheated and enjoyed. One other thing to note is all the planter boxes outside contained edible items, from the one pictured with different lettuces to flowering lemon thyme and other herbs and they also feature electric vehicle recharging stations in front for you to use for free.

The purpose for this visit was to try there burger and there fries but these aren’t just ordinary fries-there cooked in duck fat and served with a bacon aioli!

My burger was made from meat sourced from the market and was cooked perfectly, the toppings were BC double smoked bacon, Canadian cheddar cheese, farm fresh heirloom tomatoes and it’s served with a homemade ketchup and housemate dill pickle served on a house made roll. I love the idea of a burger made completely from local products, the burger itself was OK, the meat like I said was cooked perfectly but the local greens on top added a grassy flavor and the housemate pickle was a disappointment-it tasted like was seaweed smells like and didn’t work with me, other than that the other ingredients of my burger were good.

Next up we have the duck fat fries, I loved the extra flavor from the duck fat and the fries were really crispy and I wish more places offered these. The bacon aioli is a bit on the salty side but I love the idea and this was a good way to really see what their homemade ketchup tasted like, compared to the famous brand we all grew up with this one was more sweet than sour. One negative was the fact a lot of my fries were small-like little fry nibs, once I got thru the big ones on top the rest of the fry cone was these fry nibs-perfect for poutine but not on their own.

At the end of the day the rest of the menu at Edible Canada is really good and they provide the best dining value for your buck on Granville Island and is the best way to sample some real Canadian cuisine.

Milestones Grill and Bar English Bay

Milestones at English Bay is a longtime standard summertime hangout for me because of the killer patio overlooking English Bay and the tasty drinks they offer. With the renovations done to the chain the interior is like the Robson street location which makes for great daytime dining and intimate dimly lit evening dinners.

I live right around the corner from this location so it’s really convenient and a solid stand by when I have a late night at work and want dinner later in the evening without going to a loud bar.

Heineken Draft $7.99.  I started out with a big beer and from what they had on tap this was the most appealing choice for me.  The size of the glass surprised me-it’s one big beer so I got my moneys worth.

Crispy Asian Chicken Bites $9.99-tossed in a Thai chili sauce with cucumber and toasted sesame seeds.  I really liked these boneless chicken bites, the sauce was more heat than sweet and the bites were all crispy and juicy.  I’d defiantly order this again.

Milestones Beef Burger with the American topping add-on $12.99+$1.50.  All the burgers come with the usual lettuce, onion, tomato and pickle, you also get your choice of fries or salad-I added the extra .99 for yam frites.

The burger is juicy and the double smoked bacon was nice and fried perfectly.  The yam frites were so so-they reminded me of cremated yam strings!, the plate comes with a southern aioli that is really heavy on the cumin.

Milestones continues to be a go to choice for a sold meal and the menu is big enough without reading like a novel so you’re sure to find something that will satisfy your hunger.
