We can confirm that Angela Murrill's review of Zin (1277 Robson Street, 604 408-1700, Official Zin Website) in the Georgia Straight this week is "spot on".

Ginger Jalapeno Ricecakes

Submitted by Barb on Fri, 02/28/2003 - 23:42

I have a bit of a love-hate relationship with Martha Stewart: I love how she sources out "good things" and re-packages them or markets them and makes things look like they're her idea. I hate how she treats her staff and how she takes a lot of credit for their work!

Anyway...this is my version of Martha's ginger jalapeno ricecakes. I made them for an appy party and topped them with cilantro lime mayonnaise and spicy grilled swordfish.

Mini-Review Blitzen Break

Submitted by Roland on Wed, 02/26/2003 - 22:32

[UPDATE 26 June 2003]:Blitzen Break has ceased operation and is up for sale.

Every so often, I hear somebody speak German or I eat some German food and reminisce about the three and a half years that I spent living in Friedrichshafen, Germany.

The food at Blitzen Break is one of those places that causes pleasant flashbacks of my time in Germany from 1995-98.

The food is unpretentious and not gourmet but satisfying in its own right.

Barb's Favourite Small Kitchen Tools

Submitted by Barb on Mon, 02/24/2003 - 23:15

Every cook has his or her favourite kitchen tools. Using the right tools for the task can make a cooking experience a joy rather than a chore. I almost feel that some of my favourite tools act as an extension of my own hands and are invaluable in helping me cook and create what is on my mind and palate.

Here are some of my favourite tools:

Good quality knives: I love my chef knife set--8", 6" and paring. I keep them sharp and wash them by hand only. I also find our serrated knife indispensible. Good knives are the foundation of my kitchen!
