February is Apple Month! From apple pies to grape flavoured apples and making your own apple-infused vodka, I have lots of tips and tricks that make apples even more desired in the kitchen. Also a sneak peek an “Apple Pie In-A-Jar”… Follow Me Foodie is going apples!
Psst. The Swallow Tail Secret Supper Soiree is back. Five Courses. Four Wine Tastings. Two Secret Locations. It’s one of the many Dine Out Vancouver food events happening this year and this “pop up restaurant event” is great for those who like surprises.

A preview of the Dine Out Vancouver Menu for C Restaurant ($38). The food was very good, but I personally enjoyed it much more with the added supplements and would generally prefer going on a regular night and ordering a la carte.

On the second day of Chinese New Year my true love gave to me, the “Year of the Dragon” Afternoon Tea! It may not be traditional, but it’s something new, modern and still festive to the New Year. Finish with a Matcha Fortune Cookie!

With a focus on paninis, the lunch menu is rather limited and simple, but the food is homemade with care. The place is trendy, the portions are fair, and the prices are reasonable and affordable for the area, which makes BREAD an easy local favourite.

I could smell “hipster, but don’t call me hipster” from across the street. It’s creative comfort food with a twist, but I was slightly more inspired by the concept and menu descriptions than I was with the outcome of some of the dishes. Still a fun spot though!
