Flavours of the West Coast

by Cedarwood Productions, with Chef Steve Walker-Duncan

tagged: western provinces
Description

The West Coast has an abundance of produce and natural food resources, and some of the most talented and influential chefs in the world. In this colourful cookbook, British Columbia's top restaurateurs, chefs, and foodies share signature dishes that will inspire cooks everywhere. Meet the province's well-known and up-and-coming culinary stars as they reveal recipes and stories from their kitchens. Inspired by the popular television program Flavours of the West Coast, the cookbook aims to support the farmers, chefs, and food producers who make the local food scene possible. Divided into sections based on region—River and Sea, Forest and Field, Farm Fresh, and City Cuisine—the pages are filled with photos and recipes by talented foodies who all have one thing in common: a love of fresh, locally inspired cuisine and a desire to share that love with the at-home cook.

With recipes from Chef Vikram Vij, owner of Vij’s Restaurant, Vancouver; Carolyn Herriot, author of The Zero Mile Diet; Executive Chef Matthew Batey, Mission Hill Family Estate, Kelowna; Chef Jared Qwustenuxun Williams, Quwutsu’un Centre, Duncan; Chef John Cantin, John's Place, Victoria; and many others.

About the Authors

Cedarwood Productions

Nine years ago, Karen Davies and her husband, Dai, launced Cedarwood Productions in Victoria. They created the television series Flavours of the West Coast to celebrate local and sustainable producers and growers, as well as BC's top chefs. Now in its third season, the series is steadily growing in popularity and followers, and is the second most widely viewed show on CHEK, after the news. It is hosted by award-winning Chef Steve Walker-Duncan.
