Winnie's Jamaican Bridal Shower

My friend, Winnie and her fiance, Tom, are getting married in Jamaica at the end of this month. Because most of us aren't able to go, we thought we'd bring Jamaica here for her bridal shower! We decorated using a tropical theme, wore tropical outfits and of course, served Jamaican food.

This is what we served:
Plantain chips
Jamaican patties
Peas and rice
Jerk pork
Fricasee chicken
Salad with lime dressing

EatEthnic.com

My friend, Anna, a Vancouverite living in L.A., pointed to this interesting website called EatEthnic.com . The site features fascinating facts, recipes and information about food and food customs of various cultures.

Through the site you can also subscribe to an interesting newsletter called, Forks, Fingers, & Chopsticks. I find the information valuable since I work with and live in a community with a diversity of cultures.

Canning Season Now Open

Ah summer...one of my favourite seasons for food. I love dining al fresco and having barbeques, but most of all I love all the gorgeous fruits and veggies that are in season! What a riot of colours, flavours, textures and shapes!

I find great joy in wandering through farmers' markets, farm stores and produce stores scouring for the freshest produce to stock up on for winter. "Winter?!" I enjoy preserving the flavours of summer by canning. All the fresh fruits and veggies available locally inspire me to pull out the canning pot to make goodies for later.

The Urban Peasant

The Urban Peasant is another great place for recipes and cooking tips. And even better, the man behind the site, TV show and cookbooks, James Barber, lives in Vancouver!

Please check it out and join their site so you can have access to the recipes! You won't be disappointed.
