British Columbia

The sixth province to join into Confederation, British Columbia is Canada’s westernmost province, sharing a long, island-strewn coastline with the Pacific Ocean. Combine Washington, Oregon, and Montana into one giant state, and it would not equal the size of BC. And yet, half of BC’s population lives in the greater Vancouver area, leaving much of BC open to spectacular, unspoiled scenery. BC’s official motto gives testimony to its wall-to-wall beauty: “Splendor without diminishment.” Along with fresh local seafood (salmon, halibut, mussels), BC has built a unique brand of Pacific Northwest cuisine, inspired by regional game meats like caribou, elk, and moose and foraged foods like wild berries and mushrooms. A large Asian population is also helping shape the cuisine of British Columbia. In North America, only San Francisco has a larger Chinese community. In Vancouver’s backyard, meanwhile, just beyond the rain-catching Coast Mountains, the Okanagan Valley produces some of Canada’s best wines.

About me:
Hi! My name is Michelle and I am a 31 year old, married, mother of 3 boys. I am so glad I found this sight. I am a cook in a vegitarian resturant called "The Gecko Tree" here in the town of Williams Lake BC, Canada. Although alot of people think, that cooking there all day would turn me off of cooking here at home, it does'nt. I love finding new recipes and trying them. The funny thing is I come from a family of great chefs and cooks, but all growning up I NEVER had any interest in cooking, in fact I had a reputation as being one of the people that you did NOT ask to bring something to a potluck. Anyway things have obviously changed, to the relief of my mother and nana. So thank you for having me and I will be sure to share what I know and glean from all of you.

Creamy Cilantro Chicken with a Kick

Reviewed on Jul. 24, 2008 by DELTAQUEEN50
Delicious! I followed the recipe exactly, but I decided to BBQ the chicken. I boiled the remaining marinade into a sauce and served it over the BBQ chicken. Turned out really well. Served with rice, and sliced avacado and tomato. Will be making this one again very soon!

Ranch Burgers

Reviewed on Jul. 24, 2008 by DELTAQUEEN50
Made good, juicy burgers on the BBQ. I sprinkled the patties with Montreal Steak Spice. Served on buns with lettuce, tomato, and fried onions. Spread some ranch dressing on the buns as well. Next time I am going to splurge and add a strip of bacon to each burger!
