Another year, another Eat Vancouver Food and Cooking Festival. Compared to last year Eat! Vancouver 2012, Eat Vancouver 2013 offers a few more healthier choices and a diverse selection of food, products and food shows. What we’ve noticed was a lot of virgin olive oils and concoctions of dry spices for sale.
Super Chefs duke it out while showcasing some culinary secrets.
Boylan, a repeat from last year has brought their wide selection of sodas for everyone to sample. I really liked their Cherry Cola!
As are you waiting for your taste of Green & Black’s Organic chocolate, have a sample of some fine Canadian Maple Delights and maple syrup!
Their Mint Dark coco is really good!!
Technology has introduced some new ways to read a newspaper on your phone. Now, why I don’t just use feedly or via newspaper subscription to my smart phone beats me.
And for all you macaron fans, Carly has also set up shop for Kitchening & Co.
Le Gavroche also has a stand with featuring some menu items and little take home treats. Something about their banner needs some brightening up. It is hellishly freaky! Even zombie like from the Walking Dead.
Nabob brought their own crew of baristas and a food truck to give folks suffering from food coma a serious wake up call! I quite liked the Midnight Eclipse Dark Roast. It was bold enough without too much acidity and fruitiness.
Of course those over 19+ years are able to enter the fine area for libations. Craft beers, wines, sake, hard liquor are all available for sampling. What caught our eyes are the nifty 6 pack re-usable holder from Old Yale Brewery.
The latest from Zoku, the fine people that brought us the 10 minute popcicle maker brought along their 7-minute slushy ice cup. Concept is simple where you pre-freeze the cup and than pour liquids into. It freezes from the outside towards the center. Every so often you will need to stir it around to mix the ice around. I’ll blist ice cubes in my Vitamix instead thanks!
Other fine organic and gluten free products are also available.
If you’ve missed the 2013 show, there’s also next year! See you all at Eat! Vancouver 2014!
