From the Cookbooks dept.
 Whitecap Books invited VanEats to the book signing at Marquis Wine Cellars last Saturday for Heidi Noble's Menus from an Orchard Table. I was able to do a brief video blog with Heidi. She's a gracious and warm chef and wine maker. And the recipes from the book are delicious. Quince was on hand and they prepared a selection of food from the book e.g. a Venison Carpaccio with beet parsley and onion salad; a fine texture and flavour mix (page 178 of the book).I was also able to meet photographer, mixologist and restaurant consultant Chris Mason Stearns who did the colour photographs for the book (he uses a Canon digital SLR too and we chatted about Lightroom) and Heidi's brother, Craig Noble, who did the book's black and white photographs and is shooting a documentary called Tableland on sustainable food production (can't wait to see it!). Bottom line: The book is lovely. Great philosophy, great recipes and beautiful photographed. Recommended. Even better. Get out to the Okanagan and experience the food in its natural setting!
