Follow Me Foodie to Lima, Peru – A taste of Mistura!

By Mijune

Wow! All eyes have been on Peru’s food scene in the last five years, and I finally see why. This “Gastronomical Capital of the Americas” leaves me lots to return for. Mistura is South America’s largest food festival and for the fifth year it was hosted in Lima, Peru.

Follow Me Foodie to New York: Restaurants, bars, food & drinks worth flying for!

By Mijune

This list will continue to grow for sure. It’s New York, arguably “the best” food city in North America. I really dislike “best of” lists and I think “the best food city” is dependent on what kind of food you want, but generally many would agree that New York has it all – and they do.

Wild BC Salmon & Cauliflower Velouté with Maple Crème Fraîche & Crispy Prosciutto Recipe

By Mijune

The salmon we used was Haida Gwaii line-caught Northern Coho salmon. Sous vide salmon is also one of Mijune’s favourite ways to eat salmon next to having it sashimi. Since #DinnerPartyYVR took place in the fall, the salmon would be incorporated into a warm soup dish. Mijune liked the idea of making a velouté, which means velvet in French.

Follow Me Foodie to the Yukon Territories! (Bakeries and Restaurants in Whitehorse) – Part 2/2

By Mijune

In my short stay I managed to try their most locally recommended bakeries and restaurants. By “most locally recommended” I mean in the first 2 days I had at least a few recommendations for them from locals. I almost thought there were only 6 restaurants in town. These bakeries and restaurants were likely the “top” in their respective category.

Follow Me Foodie to the Yukon Territories! (Bakeries and restaurants in Whitehorse) – Part 1/2

By Mijune

When you visit a remote area and a small town almost every recommended restaurant you hit is “the best” there is. The Yukon Territories is not a culinary destination yet, but that doesn’t mean there is nothing going on. While the Northern Lights and local activities such as dog sledding are the main tourist attractions, the food scene isn’t too shabby.

Calgary, AB – Teatro Restaurant (Fine dining) – Part 4/4

By Mijune

As a well established restaurant it sits comfortably without feeling dated. The a la carte menu sounds ordinary and it may not offer items you could not necessarily find somewhere else, but the food was elegant, polished and reliable. It was approachable and safer than expected, but it tasted excellent which is most important and I could confidently recommend some dishes.
