Every week I compile a collection of the most mouthwatering food photos that I shot in Vancouver restaurants and in my kitchen. The hashtag #todiefor denotes an item truly knee weakening in flavour. Questions? Tweet me @erin_ireland |
Apple Bacon Fritter by Lucky's Doughnuts & 49th Parallel Misto - two of the fine offerings at Main Street's hottest new cafe, 49th Parallel (their second in Vancouver). With warehouse lighting, brick walls, and an exposed wood beam ceiling, the space couldn't be cooler.
Forno Baked Beans & Eggs with Spinach & Sesame Cumin Flatbread by Miradoro at Tinhorn Creek Vineyards - somehow, food tastes better when eaten on a patio like this, overlooking miles of Oliver vineyards. The brown sugary bean sauce was surprisingly sweet but pleasant, and the soft poached eggs were runny and perfect.
Okanagan Apple Doughnut by Miradoro at Tinhorn Creek Vineyards - "Better than a Timbit," as our server said. Yes, they sure were - moist, dense, mildly sweet heaven.
Canned Tuna by Chef Trevor Bird at Fable - "Which is the one dish we must try?" I asked Trevor. Without blinking, he recommended this dish. I've never tasted anything like it and never would have guessed candied lemon would go so well with tuna. This is a must-try.
Sockeye Salmon with Crispy Kale and Spinach Puree by Chef Trevor Bird at Fable - gorgeous presentation and an incredible mix of flavors. I would have loved to take a bag of the kale chips and a jar of the puree home.
Parmesan Peppercorn Donut by Cartems - these guys really can do no wrong. The flavours in this creation is subtle but present - and it works. Who would've thought?
