Our chefs share where they buy their favourite local ingredients and products
Favourite Ingredients“B.C. spot prawns from Organic Ocean Seafood when they are in season; fresh chanterelles from Mikuni Wild Harvest; wild salmon from Albion Fisheries and Dungeness crab from The Lobster Man on Granville Island.”
Favourite Product “One of my favourite products that I enjoy using, especially when making pizza at home, is smoked Schinkenspeck ham from Langley-based Freybe.”
Favourite Ingredients“Lobster mushrooms. And squash blossoms from Hannah Brook Farm in Maple Ridge. Who doesn’t love the extravagance of eating a flower?”
Favourite Product “The Farm House Natural Cheeses in Agassiz. It has the most diverse selection of quality cheeses made from the milk of their own heritage dairy cows.”
Favourite Ingredient“Albacore tuna. It’s best served sashimi-style – it tastes delicious and I love how it melts in your mouth. I get it from Organic Ocean Seafood right near Granville Island.”
Favourite Product “I’m Japanese, so I’ll have to go with good Canadian sake. My favourite is Osake by Artisan SakeMaker on Granville Island, because of its quality and flavour. A good man and close friend of mine, Masa Shiroki, produces it.”
Favourite Ingredient“One of my favorite local products and an important ingredient in most of our dishes is tomatoes. The tomatoes we buy from owner and producer Naty King of Hazelmere Organic Farm are the best quality for the best price.”
Favourite Product “The fresh apricot and ginger scones at Terra Breads are terrific.”
