Location:

Edmonton, Alberta

Best meal I ever ate:

2 euro lunch special: bratwurst with mashed potatos and sauerkraut and a beer, on a hot summer day on a patio in Meissen, Germany. Simple, traditional German food, but what made it special was the atmosphere, a great lazy day strolling around a beautiful little town, on a wonderful vacation with my wife.

My current drink of choice:

Ardbeg Supernova; Torres Fransola sauv blanc; Shea pinot noir; Kenyan kiamabara coffee

I really wish I could:

make gnocci - every attempt so far has been a disaster!

My "Go-to" dinner party dish:

lately, a simple salad of arugula, pickled beets, chevre, walnuts and a blueberry vinaigrette

My favorite comfort food:

a charcuterie plate

My top 5 favorite restaurants:

St. John (London), Chambar (Vancouver), Maze (London), Bishop's (Vancouver), Loulou de Bastille (Paris)

My most tattered cookbooks:

Australian Women's Weekly Middle Eastern, falling apart and spattered with various ingredients...
