Now I am no expert on burritos but after my trip to California, my tastebuds cannot forget how delicious these wrapped goodies are. During my trip, I learned a lot and it was all because of a friend who is, what I would consider, a burrito lover/guru. I learned a lot from her and want…

Flour Tortillas
The best flour tortillas that I had was in California. They were full of flavour, crispy but still pliable. It was elastic and strong but still kept the filling from spilling out. There are no store bought tortillas (that I have tried) that compare. Because of this tragedy, I decided to make my own. It…
Pork Carnitas
During my trip to California, I discovered what a real burrito tasted like. It was delicious, flavourful and wrapped in a soft chewy flour tortilla. Just the thought of one makes my mouth water. Mmmmmmmmm…… Back to Vancouver, I looked for a good burrito place but “burritos” in any place in Vancouver was just a…

The Dark Table – A Different Experience
A while back I wanted to try a new dining experience. I heard about a place called Dark Table where you eat in the dark. You would lose you sense of sight and experience meals with your other senses. When we arrived at the restaurant, we all waited outside and a waiter came out to…
Beer Braised Beef
I was given some beer and if you know me, I don’t prefer drinking beer. I didn’t know what to do with it and it just sat in the fridge getting flat. Growing up, I was taught not to waste food. Even if it is something that I did not like. My dad would say,…
Beer BBQ Sauce
Now I’m not a huge beer fan (and yes I’ve had my fair share of different types) but I enjoy cooking with it. I was recently given a growler of beer. Not knowing what to do with all of it and knowing that growlers do not last very long, I decided to make some beer…
Review: Pizza Ludica
Pizza Ludica is such a fun place to have great pizza and play board games. This restaurant is located in Vancouver, BC and is situated close to transportation. From the outside you wouldn’t have guessed the uniqueness of this place. The interior is brightly light and simple with lots of game themed decorations. Even this sign…
