This Sunday, I take over @doja.life for my first pop up of the year. My menu inspired by doing things differently (I pretty much can be me). So, meet Shannon @sourdoughschoolhouse. Shannon and Scott have been eating my food for many many years and they even followed me to my first ever ‘Sourced’ pop up last year. Shannon took a baking class with Monika from Okanagan Grocery and was so inspired that she’s now has her own sourdough baking school. You don’t have to be formally trained to cook or teach. Shannon has supported me so I wanted to support her - I’m proud to be telling your story this Sunday and using your beautiful sourdough for the first course! 3 tickets left, link in bio #explorekelowna #sourdough #bread #baking #food #photooftheday #popup
Forth course for #PressForProgress was by @goldmedalplates 2016 winner and @topchefcanada 2018 contender @chefjinhee from @eatforeign in Calgary. This dish bought together Calgary and the Okanagan - Okanagan Cherry Braised Alberta Veal Cheek, Sweet Potato, King Oyster Mushroom, Mandu (like a Korean tortellini) paired with 2015 @levieuxpin Syrah Cuvée Classique. This little lady is doing amazing things to break down stereotypes and take ‘Asian’ food to new places. Thanks for saying yes and making this little person’s wish come true #Alberta #topchefcanada #teamjinhee #korea #meat #explorekelowna #gastroart #wine #yyc 📷 @thuytran.photography
Tomorrow is judgement day for our BC and Canadian wine industry - we’ll be waking up to some big news. Canada will decide on the Comeau Case to allow or continue to restrict free trade across provincial borders. Technically it’s illegal to ship wines across the country (there are legal loopholes though). Personally, this doesn’t make sense when it should be about celebrating the goods and economy of Canada. I am proud to support our BC wine industry and anyone in the Okanagan is directly effected by this (if you know about it or not). So will the Supreme Court finally free our grapes? #freemygrapes #explorekelowna #canada #wine #smallbusiness #explorebc #foodandwine
Third course for #PressForProgress was inspired by Alberta’s cold pantry by Chef @erinelizabethpix of Nicole Gourmet by @chefngomes. Smoked Agria Potato and Chive Gnocchi, Grizzly Aged Gouda, Charred Onion and Carrot Soubise paired with 2016 Moraine Winery Pinot Noir. Erin and I have known each other for many years and was the only Albertan on the lineup to have dined at Poppadoms. Thanks for letting me cook with you, bud 📷 @thuytran.photography #foodporn #alberta #farmersmarket #explorekelowna #vegetarian #eatclean
#PressForProgress bought together BC and Alberta to raise funds for @foundrykelowna @slowfoodcanada @karis.kelowna. There were so many ‘moments’ during the night - from our Winemaker’s proudly pouring each other’s wine, @dave_pats of @tantaluswine chose to use his time in the spotlight as an ode to his female mentors and then there was Winemaker, Jacq Kemp of Moraine Winery. When I asked Jacq why the Okanagan she said this: “I couldn’t be who I needed to be as a Mother and a professional woman in my country - Canada allowed me to be both”. The Kiwi shared her own personal story of being a single Mum and having a child with mental health challenges. This moment summed up the night - there is so much light. I am someone that will only share things if I feel comfortable and my dinners let me be me; I don’t force or probe people - if they want to talk, they’ll talk and this wasn’t planned. Jacq felt comfortable enough to be vulnerable and share, and that is everything. We are very lucky to have people like you, Jacq. I have big Winemaker crushes on these talented humans - thank you for what you do #wine #winery #foodandwine #winemaker #explorekelowna #kelowna #explorebc
