Edible BC Kayaking Weekends

cassandra — Sat, 02 Jul 2011 19:28:24 +0000

Now that the sun is (finally) shining, and summer is just around the corner, it’s time to plan your local gourmet weekend getaway. Due to demand, we’ve expanded our Gourmet Kayaking Adventures in 2011 to include B&B-based weekends as well as beach camping - all centered on delicious and fresh seasonal food and BC wine of course! These exceptional weekends are easy to book online and gift certificates (electronic or paper) are available.

NEW B&B Based Weekends – Tenting it not for you? Luxuriate your nights away in a comfortable and quiet B&B on Vancouver Island, and spend the days kayaking and exploring the stunning coast. Enjoy a spectacular seafood feast on the beach on your first night, with locally sourced delicacies. And on your last night, we’re bringing in your own private chef to prepare a multicourse, wine paired dinner for you.

Friday ~ We’ll meet in Nanaimo mid-Friday morning, go the B&B and check in. Have a leisurely lunch in Ladysmith while meeting your travel companions. The afternoon will be spent kayaking in the shallow and calm waters off Ladysmith, before making your way via water to a private beach for cocktails and appies. Return to the B&B for showers and freshening before heading off to have a specialty seafood feast on a local beach near the B&B.

Saturday ~ After a hearty home cooked breakfast at your B&B, we’ll head out on our kayaks for a stunning tour of the islands and coastlines. We’ll lunch on a remote beach, fuel for the exploratory ride back to Vancouver Island. Return to the B&B late afternoon to find cocktails and appies awaiting you, then it’s off to shower and freshen up before your multicourse, wine paired, private chef dinner at the B&B.

Sunday ~ You’ll have another home cooked breakfast at the B&B before heading out on a peaceful paddle, or adventurous sorts can try stand up paddleboarding. The group will return to Transfer Beach for a farewell lunch before heading off to catch a late afternoon ferry back to the mainland.

*For our Beach Camping itinerary, please visit our website.
The weekend trips depart from Nanaimo, Vancouver Island on Friday morning and return Sunday afternoon. All meals, beverages, gear and accommodations are included in the price. You just need to arrive ready for a weekend of incredible views, delicious food, premium wine and lasting memories.

Edible BC Cooking Classes

cassandra — Fri, 05 Nov 2010 01:20:31 +0000

The 2011 BC’s Best Market Dinner schedule was released today – always our busiest day of the year for bookings. And for good reason – some of our dinners sell out within days of being posted!

Join us – and BC’s Best Chefs – for a gourmet feast in an incredibly unique and iconic setting – Granville Island Public Market, after-hours. Enjoy a multicourse market-inspired dinner with sommelier selected wine pairings in an intimate venue that is unlike any other in the province. The Market Dinners will continue in our brand new space on Granville Island – Edible at the Market - when construction is complete in the second part of 2011.

What can you expect? A chance to spend an interactive evening with a professional and well-known chef, a multicourse meal prepared in front of your eyes, BC’s top wines paired with each course, black linens and candlelight in the working market after hours, gracious serving staff and hosts, plus a 10% discount in the Edible BC Retail Store and on future tour bookings purchased that night.

Your chef will prepare seasonally inspired sumptuous dishes while you watch, taste and enjoy. Since the goal of the evening is just to relax and enjoy the experience, we will email you a copy of the recipes and wine pairings from the night along with photos documenting the food and evening.

Each night is limited to only 20 guests. Electronic gift certificates are available.

Edible British Columbia to Expand at Granville Island Public Market

cassandra — Sun, 24 Oct 2010 16:25:48 +0000

Edible At the Market will include an expanded artisan retail store, demonstration and production kitchen, as well as a new bistro and take-out window featuring market inspired dishes celebrating the best of BC and Canada.

Edible British Columbia is pleased to announce that it will be opening an expanded version of its original retail concept at Granville Island in the spring of 2011. The expansion will include an increased shopping presence showcasing the best artisan food products of BC and Canada, an impressive demonstration kitchen to welcome BC and Canada’s top chefs, and a tapas and wine bistro, specializing in the healthy classic dishes that exemplify market inspired cuisine. Additionally, the space will include a Gourmet-to-Go section, a take-away window, and a vibrant patio space.

Edible At the Market will be centered on the Retail Store, continuing to celebrate the best culinary product offerings from coast to coast. True to our roots and forever faithful to our local producers, Edible has a commitment to carry a minimum of 75% BC products, so customers will still be able to source all of the unique items created by our province’s dedicated culinary artisans.

The exciting addition of a permanent demonstration/ production kitchen will allow Edible to continue to expand on its popular Market Dinner Series with many of BC and Canada’s top chefs. This new space can accommodate up to 50 people, and is designed to operate separately while the rest of the business continues to run, making it ideal for afternoon tastings and seminars. When the kitchen is not being used for a private event, customers can watch Edible’s team creating delectable foods – available for purchase and enjoyment at home.

The wine and tapas themed bistro and take-away component will be a welcome addition to the Granville Island dining scene – at a very affordable price. Edible At the Market will operate from breakfast through dinner daily, with an ever-changing Market-dependant menu.

Our guiding philosophy At the Market is that if we can source the best ingredients possible in BC (preferably in Granville Island Public Market) we will, but we will also search coast to coast, looking for the best Canada has to offer. The goal is to have over 95% of our menu featuring Canadian food products. We will also be working with Oceanwise to create one of Canada’s most forward thinking and sustainable menus as we follow the fish through their seasonal runs.

Like the cuisine, the beverage program will showcase sommelier-selected BC and Canadian wines, craft beer, artisan spirits, ciders, and more. Teas will come all the way from across the street – from the Granville Island Tea Company.

The interior will be influenced by our west coast environment as well as tributes to the space’s former occupant, the Wood Co-Op. Celebrated Vancouver architect Gair Williamson has been retained to design the 3000 square foot space and celebrate all that is BC.

Edible BC will continue to offer our Guided Market Tours, Gourmet Kayaking Adventures, Culinary Concierge services, and other trips and events.

Our expanded space will provide us with an opportunity to showcase even more talent and create an even stronger food community both locally and nationally. This expansion will solidify Edible BC and Edible Canada’s position as the largest culinary tourism operation in the country. We will continue to cater to the locals (who still account for up to 70% of our business) while also welcoming visitors to our city, corporate clients, chefs, meeting and conference groups, families, and Market visitors.

Edible At the Market – Sightseeing for your tastebuds.

Edible BC Cooking with Chef Afke Zonderland

cassandra — Mon, 26 Jul 2010 04:22:28 +0000

We had our first Raw Food Dinner with Chef Afke Zonderland in 2009, and we were absolutely blown away! Afke exchanged her creative talent as kitchen designer for a chef’s jacket three years ago. Her passion for gourmet vegetarian food & a desire for abundant health naturally led her towards eating more un-cooked food. She continuously amazes participants in her Raw Gourmet workshops how satisfying and delicious Fresh, Living Food really is. Her sincere enthusiasm to prepare and enjoy “the best food ever” is contagious. For EBC regulars, you’ll already know Afke as the creator of popular Krumbleez & Krackleez.

There are still tickets available for this year’s Raw Food Feast – you can book securely online here, or email us at events@ediblebritishcolumbia.com to reserve your spot.
