Don Genova's Pacific Palate

UPDATE July 10, 2001: Don's current schedule can be found here.

At the East Van Farmers' market, last Saturday, we met up with Don Genova, host of Pacific Palate. He was selling bags of Duqqa. Duqqa is an ancient Arabic mixture of spices that can be used as a dip, a crust or as a spice. We sampled it by dipping some bread in olive oil and then in the Duqqa. It's absolutely delicious! We liked it so much that we ordered four bags of Duqqa for ourselves and for friends! To bad he won't be at this particular market for the rest of the summer.! He will be at other markets. though. Contact him at 604 322 6506 or email him for more details or to order your own Duqqa.
