The Great Food Challenge

Posted by Barb Wong on 1/16/08; 2:38:37 PM From the Features dept. I love a good food challenge. Not that food should be challenging. I just like to push myself a bit, think out of the box and try out new ingredients, cooking methods and flavours. We have been thrown the ultimate challenge. The Kid has undergone some preliminary allergy testing and we have to put him on a 2 week food elimination trial: -no shellfish -no wheat -no rice -no eggs No shellfish, no problem. We're not huge shellfish eaters. No wheat. OK... No eggs. Fine. No rice. What?! He's Asian! What's he going to eat?! Actually, after some initial research, there are plenty of grains he can eat. Luckily we have a varied diet and the Kid is receptive to trying new things. It's all a matter of being creative and open to experiment. Hopefully the Kid won't be bored and won't feel deprived. I'm sure we'll have some interesting items to post as we undertake this challenge. Link: # | Discuss | |

VanEats on Living Vancouver

Posted by Barb Wong on 1/16/08; 2:17:31 PM From the Site News dept. After a hectic week home from the holidays, today was my first chance to plug into Living Vancouver. I caught the Living to Eat segment and low and behold there's a link to VanEats' Baking Recipes! It's great for the show to support a local blog! For more dessert recipes, also check out our Dessert Recipes section. Link: # | Discuss | |
