Les Dames d’Escoffier Members Suggest Some\u00a0Holiday Gifts<\/h2>\n

I am proud to say I am a member of Les Dames d’Escoffier, and I am honoured to be included in this group of strong and accomplished women. Les Dames d’Escoffier is a world-wide organizaion and can be decribed formally as “A\u00a0leadership culinary organization composed of women who have not only achieved success in their professions, but who contribute significantly to their communities”, as stated ofiicially on our website.<\/p>\n

In British Columbia we spend most of our time raising funds for scholarships for studies in wine, and culinary arts \u00a0and also contribute funds for classroom programs for children, specifically Growing Chefs and Project Chef. \u00a0But we also have full time careers, running our own businesses or helping our clients, employees and employers excel. I asked some of our Dames for holiday gift suggestions, specifically from their own businesses or those they contribute to.<\/p>\n

\"gift\"holiday<\/p>\n

Dame Nancy Wong<\/strong><\/p>\n

Gift of Good Taste from Provence Marinaside –<\/strong> This is one of our favourite places to dine and Les Dames even had their AGM here this year! Dame Wong suggests surprising your friends and family with a trip to France with a gift certificate to award-winning Provence Marinaside<\/a> in Yaletown. Provence Gift Certificates are available in any denomination and can be purchased online<\/a> or at the restaurant.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t be Stuck for Gift Giving, Stuff a Stocking with Laughs from Vancouver TheatreSports – <\/strong>We went to TheatreSports several times this year and both Michael and I ended up on stage; I was even on for a whole show. Dame Wong reminds us that everyone needs a laugh and they are so easy to give with a Vancouver TheatreSports Gift Certificate<\/a>.\u00a0 VTSL Gift certificates are available in any denomination of your choosing. Certificates can be applied to any show performance<\/a> or ICI course<\/a> and are redeemable online or in person. They can be purchased either online<\/a> or in person.<\/p>\n

\"maverick<\/p>\n

Dame Christine Blackwood<\/strong><\/p>\n

Maverick Apron – Blackwood Apparel<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dame Blackwood not only suggested this gift, but also made sure I had one to try for my cookie class that I had the night when I stopped\u00a0in to visti her. I can put my own stamp of approval on this too. These aprons are super cool, and sturdy enough for even a busy pro chef, so you know they’ll last a long time in a home kitchen. The new Maverick line from Blackwood<\/a> is all so very excellent, the jackets and pants\u00a0would be very well received, especially if you have a fashionable chef in your life.\"thierry<\/p>\n

Dame Judy Ahola\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Thierry Cafe –\u00a0Buche de Noel<\/strong><\/p>\n

I did a whole article on Buche’s last year I love these cakes so much. If you really want to impress, a B\u00fbche de No\u00ebl, or Yule log cake as they are often referred to, is the item that tops off that decadent holiday dinner. \u00a0Dame Ahola suggests a Buche Noel from Thierry Cafe<\/a> and reminds us that advance orders for several flavours of Chef Thierry\u2019s buche de noel creations can be placed by calling 604.608.6870, online by emailing\u00a0order@thierrychocolates.com<\/a>. \u00a0Pick-up cakes on either December 23 or 24th.<\/p>\n

\"preservatory\"\"walnut<\/p>\n

Dame Lee Murphy<\/strong><\/p>\n

We visited Vista d’Oro <\/a>\u00a0this summer and left with several wines and jams. Dame Murphy’s pick is the 2008 D\u2019oro – a red wine fortified with green walnut brandy from her winery\u00a0and the Preservatory <\/a>artisanal preserves \u00a0that she crafts. I am so looking forward to her cookbook coming out this year, \u00a0and these items are definitely on my wish list every year. If you’ve not sampled Vista D’Oro wines,\u00a0head to Langley and make an afternoon of it.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Dame Daniela Cubelic<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dame Cubelic owns\u00a0Silk Road Tea and items are available in her\u00a0Vancouver and Victoria stores, as well as for purchase online. \u00a0Orders placed online that are over $50 receive free delivery too, so act quick. I stop by the Kits location often for tea and adore the tea pots and mugs there, in fact keep thinking of a specific to go mug with a reindeer on it that I just may have to have.<\/p>\n

\"noel<\/p>\n

Noel Spice Tea<\/a> – This cosy herbal blend combines organic cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and allspice with rose petals, chamomile and rooibos to create festiviTEA in a teacup.<\/p>\n
