Terra Restaurant A Local Favourite
DOWNTOWN
In 2011, hotel and restaurant industry professionals Andrea and David decided to make a go of it on their own. Their idea was simple: partner with equally passionate local producers to showcase the best of the Thompson region in a fun, creative setting.

Five years later, chef David’s award-winning cuisine along with a stellar line up of wines, beers and delectable cocktails has made Terra a local favourite.
Terra believes in cooking with the seasons. The menu changes monthly to reflect ingredients at their peak, resulting in inspired dishes from the work of a creative team and local farmers, ranchers and artisans who provide exceptional products. Wines, beers and spirits served are carefully selected from small, quality producers right here in B.C. Some, in fact, are just right down the street. Terra is proud of their relationships with craft brewers, distillers and wineries as they

Introducing Tobiano’s Black Iron Head Chef Peter Straeter
uivalent “The culinary eq ne” of a hole in o
Black Iron Restaurant at Tobiano
TOBIANO
If you like your meal served with a side of spectacular view, the Black Iron Restaurant at Tobiano Golf Course will not disappoint. Stunning views of Tobiano’s award winning links, Kamloops Lake and the distant hills are almost enough to put all thoughts of food aside. Almost, but not quite. Because, and more important than the views, it is the food here which is the real power hitter.
18
As one of the premiere Kamloops restaurants, we like to think of any meal at Black Iron Restaurant as the culinary equivalent of a hole in one. With new Head Chef Peter Straeter at the helm, our food philosophy is simple: fresh food, cooked from scratch, using local ingredients as much as possible. This translates to dishes like Chef Straeter’s specialities Chicken Breast Singapore with curry mango cream sauce and Hunter Schnitzel served with his signature crushed black peppercorn
mushroom sauce. Speaking of Schnitzels - top Tobiano tip: Schnitzel night at Black Iron Restaurant every Wednesday night is proving to be a local secret worth sharing. Given Chef Straeter’s German heritage and 50-year cooking career, you won’t find a better Schnitzel - or indeed any of our menu choices - anywhere. Short of a real hole in one out on the Tobiano course, there can be very few better experiences than relaxing on the Black Iron Restaurant patio, taking in the views along with a cold one and fabulous meal. Join us for a scene unparalleled in Kamloops Dining.

CAMPING CUISINE SIMONE JENNINGS INTERIOR HEALTH NUTRITIONIST
With summer right around the corner, the itch to get outdoors becomes difficult to ignore. Our family likes to make time each summer for a few camping trips and, since we have a toddler, I like to ensure our food is organized. I plan simple meals and prepare food before we go, trying to use certain foods in multiple meals and snacks, such as cheese, yogurt and bread, to save space in the cooler. Of course, we also pack less healthy snacks for around the fire, whether it’s making s’mores or passing around a bag of chips. But, like at home, I think it is important most of our food be nutritious.
20
PREPARE IN ADVANCE HERE ARE SOME FOODS OFTEN FOUND IN OUR CAMPING COOLER:
• Make and freeze whole grain muffins, pancakes or loaves. • Pre-measure bags of rolled oats with nuts, seeds and dried fruit to cook on the camp stove. • Hard boil eggs for protein at breakfast or lunch. • Cook rice, quinoa or pasta the night before you leave and eat it in the first couple of days. • Make and freeze chilli and/ or pasta sauce. It will act as ice in the cooler and keep for a couple of days.
• Freeze lean meats or fish with marinade in freezer bags so they are ready for the BBQ. • Make and freeze hamburger patties. Use ground chicken, turkey or lean grass-fed beef. • Breakfast ideas: Eggs and toast, Greek yogurt with fruit and granola, cold cereal (choose something low in sugar) with milk or yogurt, peanut butter and jam sandwiches with sliced apples and oranges, oatmeal or packages of plain instant oats (just add hot water).

Take Your
PULSE this year
Pulses are a dried crop with a high nutrition value and a long shelflife, and given their environmental benefits to soil, like nitrogen fixing, our love for these pulses is as much about their sustainability as it is about how they sustain us. India is the world’s leading consumer of pulses, enough so that the country can’t produce enough to satisfy demand. That’s where Canada comes in. Our country exports more pulses than any other in the world, and most of them are grown in Saskatchewan and Alberta. In fact, 75 per cent of the pulses we grow are for export, supplying one third of the world’s market. This is possible as a result of innovations in agriculture, like those from Bayer, that protect pulse crops from disease. From our prairie heartland, we ship them to 150 countries for feed, food and commercial ingredients. But India stands apart, receiving one in every four tonnes we export. As the world’s focus on staple foods shifts to the future, pulses are expected to take on a greater role in the diets of many developing nations. This is in part because of their nutritional benefits, but also because they have the potential to expand agriculture in those countries and create an export commodity for the local economies. This year is the United Nations’ International Year of Pulses, and when it comes to these affordable, protein-packed crops—which include lentils, peas, chickpeas, dry beans and faba beans—no nations could be more united than Canada and India.
22
With that in mind, it’s interesting that Canadians only consume a quarter of the pulses our country produces. To stay ahead of the pack, it might be time to have our own Canadian Year of Pulses and invigorate our market at home. www.newscanada.com
SUMMER IS HEATING UP
Summer is heating up and many of us are thinking about heating up the barbecue — especially for entertaining. If you need a little refresher before your guests arrive, here are some helpful tips, each one designed to turn up the heat on your next barbecue:
• Prep in advance. To ease last minute anxiety, marinate meats, assemble side dishes and chop any fruits or vegetables you’ll need beforehand.
• Transform the basics. Go beyond ketchup and mustard and offer an assortment of cheeses, roasted veggies, hot sauces and other garnishes.
• Plan your menu. Have a list ready before you leave for the store so you don’t forget burger buns or any condiments.
• Provide entertainment. Classic backyard games like horseshoes or badminton, cards or even a fun music playlist can liven up your backyard bash.
Sundried Tomato Spread How about a fresh, homemade spread to tantalize your guests? This is a quick and easy appetizer to serve with pita or even use as a topping on your burger Total time: 5-10 minutes INGREDIENTS: • 1 1/2 cups roasted pumpkinseeds • 3/4 cup grated parmesan cheese • 1/4 cup sundried tomatoes in oil • 1/4 tsp black pepper • 8 large fresh basil leaves • 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
INSTRUCTIONS: Place pumpkin seeds, parmesan cheese, sundried tomatoes, pepper and basil leaves into a food processor. Pulse for a few seconds to blend. Add olive oil in a slow stream while blending, until desired consistency is obtained. Remove from processor, place in serving bowl and chill until ready to serve.
