Staub cookware from Alsace, France is the ultimate kitchen bling. We
bought this teal cocotte pot in California for our vacation home but
recently saw it (in this colour only) at Anthropologie in Vancouver.
2912 Granville St., Vancouver, 604-734-2529, www.anthropologie.com
This pale pink French rosé became our home entertaining wine this
summer, but I feel it deserves a comeback tour for the holidays, if only
for its festive name. Tip: order it by the glass at Hawksworth
Cocktail Lounge. Whispering Angel rose, $29, http://www.bcliquorstores.com
I went for a Whole Hog dinner at Fat
Dragon BBQ, but my biggest take-away was a pair of Origami-paper
wrapped chocolate bars designed by Ted Anderson and master chocolatier
Wendy Boys of www.cocolico.ca.
The milk chocolate with crispy rice, toasted coconut, Ceylon and
cinnamon disappeared in a flash at a recent dinner party. $7.50 per at
Fat Dragon, 566 Powell St., Vancouver, 604-558-0880, www.fatdragonbbq.com
Last year I picked up lots of cool stocking stuffers at the Dirty Apron
Cooking Schools deli for my husband, who is a food stylist. This year
its Dude
gift basket ($100) comes with a Stanley flask, Chambar Ale, an
Opinel knife and Oyama sausageall guaranteed party starters. Dirty Apron
Deli, 540 Beatty St., Vancouver, 604-879-8588, deli.dirtyapron.com
Beef dip is my ultimate comfort food and I met my match at a menu
tasting for the new Joey
Yorkdale, Toronto. The Prime Rib is slow-cooked for 18 hours in an
Alto-Shaam oven and served with perfect pommes frites. Late lunch
anyone? $17. www.joeyrestaurants.com
