Marshmallows INGREDIENTS 45 grams egg white 139 grams water 139 grams water + 12 sheets of gelatin 4 teaspoons corn syrup 315 grams sugar 3 vanilla beans Icing sugar Corn starch

METHOD Pour the egg whites into the bowl of a stand mixer and using the whisk attachment, mix on medium-high. Pour the water, sugar and corn syrup into a small saucepan and put it on medium heat.

In a separate bowl, mix the water and gelatin and let sit. Once the syrup reaches 126°C remove from heat. Reduce the speed of the mixer to medium and slowly add the syrup to the egg whites (while the mixer is still running). Tip: it works best if the syrup is poured down the side of the bowl rather than right onto the whisk.

Once the syrup is poured, in the same saucepan, pour the water and gelatin and gently stir until the gelatin becomes liquid. Add to the mixer while still running, and mix 10 minutes. Split open 3 vanilla beans. After the 10 minutes, add the inside of the 3 beans to the mixer and turn back on for 2 minutes. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spray with nonstick spray. Spread the marshmallow on the baking sheet and let it sit overnight. Once the marshmallow is set, use a pizza cutter to cut in even pieces of about 1 inch. In a bowl, add equal amounts of icing sugar and corn starch. Put all the pieces of marshmallows in the icing sugar and corn starch and make sure all the pieces are fully covered. Shake off excess amount. Store in an airtight container.

Schnitzel Sandwich INGREDIENTS 12 oz centre cut pork loin *kosher salt *freshly ground pepper 1 cup green cabbage, thinly sliced 1 cup red cabbage, thinly sliced 1/2 lemon 1 cup all purpose flour 2 eggs, beaten 1 1/2 cups panko 1/2 cups vegetable oil 2 soft hoagie rolls split pickled shallots (shallots in red wine vinegar)

SMOKED OYSTER MAYO 7 smoked oysters, store bought or 5 fresh medium sized oysters, plus a smoker and wood chips 1 cup Mayonnaise 1 Clove garlic 1/4 teaspoon Smoked paprika 1 Tablespoon Dijon mustard 1 teaspoon Lime juice 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce Dash of hot sauce of your choice

METHOD Make the smoked oyster mayo. Set up a bbq for indirect heat or set an electric smoker to 300F. Shuck the oysters and put them in a shallow heat-proof pan along with their liquid. Pour a 1/4 cup of water over 2 cups of wood chips and seal them in a pouch of tin foil. Poke some holes in pouch with a knife and lay pouch next to coals. Place the oyster pan on grate above the wood chips and smoke for about 25 minutes. Put the rest of ingredients including smokey oyster liquor into a food processor or blender and pulse until smooth. Transfer to a container and refrigerate. Now slice the pork loin into 4 equal portions and place 1 piece of pork at a time between two pieces of plastic wrap and flatten pork with a mallet or rolling pin until it’s about a 1/4 inch thick. Season with salt and pepper and set aside. Dress cabbage with the juice of half a lemon and a sprinkle of salt and set aside. Dredge cutlets in flour, then through beaten egg. Coat in panko. Heat oil in a non-stick skillet or cast iron pan set at medium to high heat and brown the cutlets for about 2-3 minutes per side. Add more oil if necessary. Rest cutlets on a plate lined with paper towel to absorb any excess oil. Toast your rolls. Slather the oyster mayo on the bun and place pork cutlet on top, followed by a heap of dressed cabbage and pickled shallots.

METHOD Strain the sour cherries in to a small sauce pan, add the 1/2 cup sugar, turn heat to medium, stir once. Set cherries aside. Once the liquid starts to boil, reduce heat to a low simmer and reduce liquid by about 1/2 or until it is a maple syrup consistency. Add cherries back to syrup. Cool and chill in the fridge.

Place over an ice bath and stir it until cool. Chill the custard thoroughly in the fridge. Freeze it in your ice cream maker, according to the manufacturer’s instructions. When removing ice cream from the machine, add cherries, as many as desired.

Sesame Bamboo Steamed Veggies INGREDIENTS 2-3 cups cauliflower florets 2 handful of snap peas, trimmed 2 red peppers, thinly sliced 3 carrots, peeled and cut into slices 1 broccoli, cut into bite size pieces 8 baby bok choy, cut in half and washed thoroughly

To follow the exact recipe, you will need a traditional bamboo steamer which can easily be found in Asian or Chinatown markets. If you don’t have one handy, any steamer will do.

The right texture for cooked veggies is just a little bit al dente.

Should you like your veggies more on the softer side, feel free to add a minute or two in the steaming process, but no longer else they become too soft, losing their flavor and nutrients.

MARINADE 3 Tablespoons finely chopped and peeled fresh ginger 1 Tablespoons finely chopped fresh lemongrass 2 Tablespoons toasted sesame seeds 5-6 Tablespoons of sesame oil

METHOD Place a medium-large pot on high heat, add 3 cups of water and bring to boil. Place the bamboo steamer on top of the pot. Mix the cauliflower, snap peas, red peppers and carrots together into the bamboo steamer. Cover and steam for 3 minutes. Add the bok choy and broccolis. Cover and steam for another two minutes. While the veggies steam, get a large mixing bowl and place the sesame oil, ginger and lemon grass in it. Now stir in the steamed veggies, and toss well. Season with salt and add the toasted sesame seeds. Serve with brown rice or bread, and enjoy your healthy and hearty meal.

Makes 5-6 portions.

Summer Veggie + Chicken Salad INGREDIENTS 1 cup Brown rice 1/3 lb Baby greens Handful of Baby kale A few sprigs of Green onions Cilantro, one bunch Mint, one bunch 1/2 cup Strawberries or Blueberries 1 Lime 1 Avocado 1/3 cup Chevre 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts 2 bell peppers (any colors) Peashoots (or any other sprout) Olive oil 1 Tablespoon grated ginger teaspoon ground nutmeg teaspoon ground cinnamon 1 Tablespoon maple syrup 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves

METHOD This is a fun recipe because you can use any fresh, seasonal veggie.

If blueberries are in season, use those instead of strawberries. If snap peas and cucumbers are out, use those instead of sprouts. Work with what you have. The flavours work well, as a mix of the sweet, sour, bitter and spicy. The only veggies you can’t get locally are lime & avocado, but they add a nice texture to the dish. You can serve this on one big platter. Cook brown rice as directed. Chop all greens into bite size pieces (salad, green onions, cilantro, mint, peppers, peashoots, strawberries, peppers, avocado, cheese). Cut chicken into strips, season with salt and pepper, and brown on stove with Tbsp olive oil and add ginger, nutmeg, cinnamon and cloves. When chicken is looking cooked through (5 minutes or so) add maple syrup. Take off of heat and cover until the rest of the food is ready. Take cooked rice and spread out onto a platter. Sprinkle greens on top of rice. Then add the chicken. Sprinkle the rest of the veggies, the cheese, the cilantro, mint and the strawberries. Squeeze some lime on top and save a few slices to go on the side. Enjoy!

Mushroom Veggie Burger INGREDIENTS

1/2 cup Green Lentils 1/2 cup Brown Rice 1/2 cup Quinoa 4 cups Water 1 oz Honey 1/2 cup Oats 1/2 cup Sunflower Seeds 1/2 cup Garlic 1 cup Roasted Mushrooms 1 Tablespoon Flax Seed 1 Tablespoon Grainy Dijon Mustard 1 Tablespoon Dry Oregano 1 Tablespoon Salt 1 Tablespoon Pepper

METHOD Cook lentils, rice, and quinoa in covered pot with water, until small craters form on the surface and most of the water has been absorbed. Don’t rinse or wash the rice, quinoa or lentils so as to retain any starches for binding. Keep covered and remove from heat; let stand covered for 20 min. Transfer to mixing bowl and allow to cool. Toss oats and sunflower seeds with honey and toast medium hot oven, stirring constantly so honey is evenly distributed, until golden brown, 10-15 minutes. Lightly toss pealed fresh garlic in olive oil and roast until golden and soft, 10-15 minutes in medium-hot oven. Once cooled, puree roasted garlic to smooth paste. Lightly toss mushrooms in olive oil and a little salt and pepper and roast until soft, 10-15 minutes in medium-hot oven. Allow to cool and drain off liquids from pan, reserving the mushrooms. Combine all and remaining ingredients together.

Mix and need until the mixture becomes tacky and holds its shape when formed into balls and pressed into patties. Take a small amount and cook off a taster to see if the seasonings need adjusting; adjust accordingly. Form into 6 oz balls and press into patties. Cook on well seasoned grill, griddle or fry pan until golden and crisp on the outside. Yield 8 x 6 oz patties. Created by Adam Reeve, Chef at Maude Hunters Pub.

Pork Hock Terrine INGREDIENTS

Then strain the remaining stock and reduce it to 3/4 cup.

When the hock is cooled to the touch remove the bones and any unwanted cartilage. Using the skin is optional but I highly recommend it. It’s what gives the dish texture and rustic class.

Cover and chill the meat and stock (separately) overnight. To finish the terrine find a mould, like a loaf pan, and line it with plastic wrap leaving plenty overhanging the sides and ends to fold overtop once it is filled. This has to be done with one piece so none of the liquid escapes. Dice your chilled meat and skin into 1/4 inch pieces and place in a mixing bowl. At this point you could add a variety of different garnishes like fresh herbs, dried fruit, nuts, blanched veggies, beans. While you are preparing your meat and garnish, take your stock from the fridge. It should be firm to the touch. You will notice the fat on top and the sediment on the bottom. Using only the nice clear stock in the middle heat it up only to the point of being a liquid again.

Add it to your bowl of meat and garnish and mix well. Check for seasoning at this point. There should be plenty from the hock alone. With a slotted spoon fill your mould with the solids. Add just enough liquid to fill in the spaces. Fold over the plastic wrap and refrigerate at least over night. To serve, pop the terrine out of the mould and slice with a sharp knife. Serve with pickles, mustard and bread.

1 Smoked pork hock 2 cloves Garlic 1/2 Onion 1 Large Carrot 1 teaspoons Peppercorns 1 Bay leaf Fresh Thyme or Rosemary, or both

METHOD Peel and cut the onion and carrot into a large dice. Use a dutch oven or slow cooker that is just big enough to fit the hock with the veggies, the remaining herbs and spices, and about 2 cups of water. The hock should be more than half covered with water.

Set the oven to 300 or your slow cooker to medium heat for about 2 1/2 - 3 hours. Rotate the hock in the broth every 1/2 hour or so to ensure even cooking. When it is done the meat will literally fall of the bone. Remove the hock with a slotted spoon and place on plate to cool.

15 Heirloom Strawberry Tomatoes Cooking is about choosing the best of the ingredients.

And on Vancouver Island, we are truly blessed with some of Canada’s greatest produce and artisanal products.

OVEN DRIED TOMATOES Using a sharp paring knife, score an “x” on the bottom of each tomato, being careful not to cut into the meat of the tomato. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Drop tomatoes 5 at a time into the water for 20-30 seconds. Remove them and plunge into an icy water bath until cool.

Remove the tomatoes from the ice bath and pull back the skin starting at the edges of the “x”. Remove and reserve the skins. Continue until all tomatoes have been peeled. Toss peeled tomatoes in salt, sugar and olive oil and lay on a parchment lined baking sheet pan. Place in an oven preheated to 190 degrees Fahrenheit, and cook for approx.

3 hours. Flip tomatoes over every half hour until they have the look of plump tomato “raisins” and take on a chewy texture. Let cool, and store in an airtight container.

Refresh immediately in iced water to set the colour. Remove from the water and squeeze to remove as much water as possible. Place all ingredients except White Balsamic Vinegar in a blender. Puree until a smooth, yet viscous texture is achieved. You may need to add some cold water to keep a vortex going as the fat in the nuts and the oil will form a thick emulsion and make it harder for your blender to do its job.

Puree all ingredients in a blender. The trick here is to heat the whipping cream. If it goes in cold, it will whip. If this happens you will just need to keep the blender running until the shearing action heats up the cream and “melts” the butter solids that will have formed. We found that bringing the cream to a boil helped avoid this dilemma. Tip into a container and refrigerate.

TOMATO-CAESAR SORBET 800 grams Heirloom Tomatoes 1 Yellow Onion, diced Salt & Pepper To taste Worcestershire To taste Vodka/Gin/Sake To taste Clamato To taste Tabasco To taste Lemon Juice, freshly squeezed Liquid Glucose

Sweat onions in a large pot, being careful not to get any colour. When onions become translucent, add tomatoes and cook down by half slowly to concentrate the flavours.

Pour yourself about a 180 ml of the drink into a glass over ice and pour the remainder into the pot with the tomatoes. Bring to a simmer and remove from heat.

Puree cooled but still warm mixture in a blender until well blended and strain through a fine mesh strainer into a bowl set on a scale. Season with salt and pepper and weigh the strained liquid. Measure out 1/3 of the weight of the puree in liquid glucose and heat the glucose in a pot until it loosens up a bit. Tip in Caesar tomato puree and mix until thoroughly combined and place in a shallow container to cool completely. Following manufacturers instructions, churn cooled mixture in your ice cream maker. Do not over-churn! This will make your sorbet hard and aerated, and will dilute the flavour. 15-20 minutes should be more than enough. Scrape out sorbet into appropriate container, wrap well, and freeze in your freezer overnight, or until scoopable.

ASSEMBLY Get five chilled 10” Round plates. Spread Mozzarella Cream between all 5 plates and, using a brulee torch, scorch the mozzarella. I liken the flavour to the crispy bits of cheese on a pizza. Using a spoon, haphazardly drizzle the Black Garlic Syrup around the plates. Slice the tomatoes so that you get between 5-7 pieces on each plate. Have some fun. Cut them however you like. Season with some of the Vancouver Island Sea Salt. This adds a bit of texture as well as seasoning. Arrange tomatoes

around the plate in stacks, standing upright or scattered as you see fit. Toss “Cous-Cous” with the Pistachio Dill Pistou (this is the time where you would add the White Balsamic Vinegar if you haven’t already. Add, taste, and adjust. Don’t add all of the vinegar at once.) Then add the Confit Strawberry Tomatoes. There will be 3 per plate.

Divide the “Cous-Cous” between the 5 plates, dropping randomly around the plate. Gently warm a pan and bring butter to foaming. Add finely chopped garlic and Snails to the mixture and cook until the snails are just done. The time will differ depending on your heat, their size, and the type of pan. (Not sure when they are done? Try one.

Maybe cook a few extra.) Scatter across the plate. Toss greens with a bit of the vinaigrette. Again, use less and taste. Adjust if necessary. Add just a tiny bit of V.I. Sea Salt and scatter across all 5 plates. Creating a “Snails in a Tomato Garden”scene. Scoop out a ball of sorbet and place on a leaf or two to prevent it from sliding around the plate. Top Sorbet with Tomato-Dill Sand. Serve immediately.

Balsamic Butter INGREDIENTS 15ml vegetable oil 1 lb unsalted butter, softened 150 grams (2 large) shallots, minced 350 grams (1 medium) yellow onion, minced 4 cloves garlic, minced 1 L balsamic vinegar 100ml honey 1 Tablespoon salt

METHOD This flavoured butter is a wonderfully versatile sauce that goes with just about anything, from grilled veggies to your favourite meat off the BBQ. Well wrapped, it can also be stored in the fridge for up to 3 weeks, or in the freezer up to 6 months.

Simply slice off a 1/4 inch piece straight from the fridge, and watch it melt all over your steak or asparagus into a deliciously decadent instant sauce. The day before, leave the butter out to soften. Mince the shallot, onion and garlic. On mediumhigh heat, stirring occasionally, deeply caramelize the shallot and onion until the colour of stained wood. Add the garlic and cook quickly to soften, being careful not to brown, 1 minute.

Add the balsamic vinegar and reduce by 2/3 until about 350ml of liquid remains. Add honey and salt. With a hand blender, puree mixture until smooth. Set aside to cool. Once balsamic has cooled to room temperature, you can continue. With your stand mixer and whip attachment, whip the butter on high for 5 minutes until airy. While still whipping, slowly pour in the balsamic mixture so it combines smoothly with the butter.

Remove from bowl and refrigerate or freeze in smaller portions.

Glass containers would work, or use plastic wrap to form 3” diameter logs. Serves 12 - 14 portions.

METHOD Weigh chocolate and put into pot on top of double boiler. Heat on low, stirring frequently, until chocolate is just melted. Remove from heat and transfer melted chocolate to large glass bowl.

Alternately, put chocolate into large glass bowl and microwave for 1 min. Remove from microwave and stir well. Microwave for an additional 30 seconds. Remove and stir. If chocolate is not fully melted, microwave for an additional 30 seconds. Remove and stir until chocolate is smooth. Measure coconut milk and pour into small pan. Add dry chai tea. Heat coconut milk and chai tea on stove on medium heat until just bubbling and gently simmer for 5 minutes, being careful not to let the milk boil over. Remove from heat. Pour coconut milk mixture through a small strainer into a glass measuring cup, until you get 1/2 cup of liquid. Once fully strained, pour hot coconut milk into melted chocolate.

Add vanilla. Whisk mixture together until a stiff, smooth ganache forms. If ganache remains oily and will not emulsify after a few minutes of vigorous whisking, heat an additional 1-2 tbsp of coconut milk and whisk in small amounts at a time until ganache comes together and becomes smooth. Allow ganache to set in bowl until firm, approximately 1-2 hours. Once ganache has set, use a spoon or melon baller to scoop out tablespoon size amounts. Roll balls between hands until they are relatively round and smooth. Place on a clean tray covered with parchment paper.

Gently roll ganache balls in cocoa powder. Place back on tray and sprinkle with cinnamon. Store Truffles for up to one week in airtight container in cool, dry place. Do not store in refrigerator.

Saltspring Island Mussels INGREDIENTS 2 lbs mussels, cleaned 20 grams (2 knobs) unsalted butter 4 cloves garlic, minced 250 ml dry white wine 25 grams (half bunch) chopped parsley

METHOD You can whip these together in about 10 minutes and come out looking like a real pro! The key is to start with super fresh mussels. Assemble your ingredients and get everything ready before you start cooking. Start with the mussels: they should smell like the ocean. If you find any with open shells, tap them with your finger. If they don’t close, they’re dead and should be discarded. Pick or scrape off any ‘hairs’ or barnacles using your fingers, the back of a paring knife or a damp kitchen towel. Mince the garlic and rough chop the parsley (large stems removed). Put a medium sized pot or large skillet on medium heat. Make sure it’s big enough that the mussels won’t be stacked more than 2 or 3 deep. Sweat the garlic in butter for 1 minute until soft, being careful not to brown. Add the mussels and wine, turn to high heat. Once the wine comes to a boil, turn back to medium, and cover with a lid. Steam for 2-4 minutes, until the majority are opened. While still on the heat, add the parsley and stir through with a big spoon or ladle. Remove from heat. If any mussels are still closed, pick them out and discard. Transfer to serving dish and keep covered until eating. Serves 2-4
