I got my delivery of Cocos-Pure over the weekend and was feeling like a cup of something sweet and comforting. The Chocolate Mint Rooibos Tega tea is my favorite after-dinner tea, the idea of combining two of my favorite BC based beverages seemed inspired. Some of you may agree — plus it is simple.

The environment is also very nice. Right downtown in Vancouver, BC the restaurant spills out onto the street ...

During the Winter Olympics I helped out at Lazy Gourmet which was very busy catering to French House, General Electric Hosting, Price Waterhouse Coopers, events for the Polish Government, Vanoc, Richard Branson and a bunch of other stuff.

I was given a special treat this year for my birthday--lunch out at the Sha Lin Noodle House in Vancouver, BC. They don't take reservations so we crowded into the doorway to get out of the rain and hovered hungrily over the nearest table, the wait wasn't long and we were soon seated with a great vie ...

I was very excited to get a message from a friend in London who was taking her man out for his birthday dinner to Mandalay, which is a very good Burmese restaurant in London, one of the few Burmese restaurants outside of Myanmar in the world.
