CHRISTMAS FOOD GIFTS

Six gifts for the foodie on your Christmas list

By Jenn Sharp It can be tough to buy gifts for foodies.

They turn up their noses at drugstore chocolate and they don’t appreciate that franchise restaurant gift certificate you picked up waiting in line at the grocery store.

I’m making foodies sound snobby but (most) of them are not. They just really care about food.

Think about how excited you get when the Riders win — that’s what foodies feel like when a new restaurant opens and the food is GOOD. That could also be how excited they’ll be when you present one of these delectable gifts I’ve conveniently found for you.

1. LOCAL HONEY When you buy honey from local producers, the flavour options are endless. Plus you’re helping support Saskatchewan’s bee population.

My favourites are Kitako Lake Borage Honey (sold at Ingredients Artisan Market in Saskatoon) and lavenderinfused ZeeBee Honey sold at the Regina Farmers’ Market.

2. UNCLE MIKE’S VANILLA OATMEAL FACE BAR Mike Zimmer launched his all-natural line of body products, made in Saskatoon, in 2009. Everything is made from cold pressed fruit, nut and vegetable oils, and steam-distilled therapeutic grade essential oils. Say good bye to synthetic, harmful chemicals and hello to happy skin. I’ve been using the $10 vanilla oatmeal face bar (which smells good enough to eat by the way) for a week now and have already noticed my skin is clearer, smoother and softer.

Go to www.unclemikesnatural.com to find store locations.

3. A SET OF ASIAN BOWLS Fun and whimsical, these bowls will set a foodie’s heart afire. Yes, foodies love food, but they love the dishes food goes in almost as much. A cute little rice bowl or a big noodle soup bowl — any one of these (or all) will be a hit. Mix and match to find your own unique set at an Asian grocer or thrift store — this one was less than $20.

4. OUT OF OLD SASKATCHEWAN KITCHENS Saskatchewan author Amy Jo Ehman’s new book is part cookbook, part history book. She gives an introduction to the founding peoples’ cultures of Saskatchewan by describing their heritage through their traditional foods.

Like a cup of tea on a cold night, Ehman’s writing welcomes you in like a comfortable embrace. It’s a book for those of us who were born and raised here; it’s a harkening back to a time when you anticipated grandma’s Sunday pot roast and mashed potatoes all week.

It’s also a book for the newcomers we’re welcoming to Saskatchewan. The book is a way to share our culture and an invitation to share theirs, and perhaps even offers the opportunity to create new Saskatchewan kitchens.

SHARP EATS Tomato-Walnut and Cilantro Bruschetta

5. A REALLY NICE KNIFE

Because almost all foodies love to cook, this is probably the best gift you can get them (if your budget allows, of course). A high-quality knife to a foodie is pretty much like diamonds. Undoubtedly some of the finest knives to be found in Canada come from a shop in Calgary called Knife Wear. Owner Kevin Kent imports high performance chef knives made by professional blacksmiths in Japan. I’ve tried out one of his knives — it barely made a ripple while finely slicing a ripe tomato. Try the Tadafusa (top picture, $126), made in Niigata City by female designer Fumie Shibata, or the Fujiwara 180 mm (bottom picture, $384) made by fourth generation master blacksmith Fujiwara san. Both are guaranteed to impress.

Prices range from the accessible to the diamond level, but trust me, these knives will last forever and are worth every cent.

Knife Wear ships to Saskatchewan; order online at: www.knifewear.com

6. POMEGRANATE MOLASSES

This Turkish product has the consistency of syrup but tastes nothing like what you might expect. The smell is complex and earthy; the taste tangy and slightly sweet.

I was at a dinner party recently where my friend (and chef) dee Hobsbawn-Smith had brought pickled eggplant marinated in pomegranate molasses. Manners were forgotten as we all dived into that bowl of eggplant.

Hobsbawn-Smith loves the stuff and uses it to add roundness and depth to pots of beans and in marinades and braises (try it on your next roast). Her favourite use is in a tomato salsa (see the recipe at right): “It rescues wan, out of season tomatoes and heightens the glorious in-season.”

You can find it at any Middle Eastern grocery store; the bottle I picked up was $4. jksharp@thestarphoenix.com Twitter.com/JennKSharp

Based loosely on muhammara, a classic Turkish relish, this spread is spectacular on simple grilled bread, as a lunch, or an appetizer. It works equally well as a sauce for grilled or roasted fish. In corn season, add a handful of grilled or roasted corn kernels to the mixture. Yum! INGREDIENTS: > 1 c. (250 mL) fresh walnut halves > 2 c. (500 mL) diced ripe tomato > 2 tbsp. (30 mL) pomegranate molasses > 1 tsp. (5 mL) toasted and ground cumin > 1/2 tsp. (2.5 mL) sumac, optional > Juice of 1 lemon > 1 garlic clove, minced > 1/4 c. (60 mL) extra virgin olive oil > 1 tbsp. (15 mL) walnut oil > 2 tbsp. (30 mL) minced cilantro > Kosher salt and hot chili flakes to taste

> Crusty sliced bread for the grill > Olive oil for drizzling

METHOD: 1. Preheat the oven to 350 F. 2. Put the walnuts on a baking sheet in a shallow layer and toast them for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool thoroughly, then chop with a knife. Set aside.

3. Whisk together the tomato and pomegranate molasses, then stir in the cumin, sumac, lemon juice and garlic clove. Add the oils, whisking well. Stir in the cilantro, walnuts, salt and hot chili flakes. Set aside.

4. Brush the sliced bread with olive oil. Grill. Remove from heat, garnish with sauce and serve immediately.

ON THE COVER #

A lot of them are very quick to identify themselves to the Fransaskois community, which I think is very good. – Laurier Gareau

F R A N S A S K O I S C U LT U R E

Theatre, history passions for Gareau

By Ashley Martin Luckily for theatre lovers in Saskatchewan, Laurier Gareau’s career as a radio journalist was short-lived.

The Fransaskois playwright has written 40 plays in the past three decades. But after completing his bachelor of arts degree in history at College Saint-Jean in Edmonton, 24-year-old Gareau shuttled to Quebec City to begin a four-year journalism course at Universite Laval in 1974. He wanted to be a reporter for Radio-Canada.

His Quebec residency didn’t last long. He dropped out after one semester and lined up a job interview.

He was hired for Jan. 2 in Regina, but not for on-air work: He was told his “mid-western American” accent wouldn’t fly with listeners.

But eventually, after plugging away as a researcher, writer, translator and — finally — reporter, he realized journalism wasn’t for him: The aspiring playwright changed paths again and didn’t look back.

In 1986, with a fresh master’s of fine arts from the University of Alberta, Gareau was hired to run theatre workshops in Saskatchewan schools through the Conseil Culturel Fransaskois. He retired last September.

In addition to prolifically writing on the side, a quarter century ago Gareau founded an amateur theatre troupe, Theatre Oskana. But his focus wasn’t entirely theatrical.

As a historian, he has produced a history magazine for 25 years.

To boot, he’s done it all in his native language.

“I’ve worked all my life in French here in Saskatchewan, which just goes to show that it is possible to live your life pretty much in French in the province,” said Gareau, 65.

“You’ll be using English when you go get gas or go to the store or something like that, but if the main language at your work is French, then you tend to associate with the French community.”

■

■ ■ ■

Gareau’s great-grandfather Azarie arrived in the Batoche area in 1882 and settled on a farm. His brother Ludger built the church, the rectory, stores and houses in the community of St. Isidore-de-Bellevue, 100 kilometres northeast of Saskatoon. The church and rectory are still standing.

In the early 1900s, Azarie was hired to return to Quebec and recruit new settlers to the prairies.

But not all of them came from Quebec. Some hailed from France, Belgium and Switzerland. Father LouisPierre Gravel, for whom Gravelbourg is named, came from New York. Other Americans, from Minnesota and the Dakotas, resettled here in the late 1800s and early 1900s.

The more we can get people to understand the value of the different cultures is, to me, very important.

— Gareau

They established a life here. By the 1950s, two French radio stations were running. A secret society, L’Ordre de Jacques-Cartier (also known as La Patente), had expanded to the province after its foundation in Ontario in 1926. Gareau’s father Pierre was a part of La Patente, whose purpose was to advance French Catholics in society, in politics and business.

But as Saskatchewan saw progress, isolated communities fell victim to urbanization and the culture began to suffer.

Until the late 1950s, “They had their small country schools where they could keep their languages going,” said Gareau. But by the 1960s, schools were centralized and “suddenly English is becoming the dominant language.”

With technology downsizing farm labourers, small towns disappeared and people assimilated into urban life.

“If you leave a small town like Bellevue or Bonne or Edam or even Gravelbourg and you move into the city, chances are you won’t use your French all that much. You’ll become just part of the massive English community that is the cities,” said Gareau.

Mixed marriages — francophones to Anglophones — further impacted the culture.

But it did survive, with help from the Trudeau government and the Official Languages Act in 1969, and with the work of youth who began to fight back.

In the 1970s, the Saskatchewan Franco-Canadiens adopted the name Fransaskois, with a push by provincial French newspaper L’eau vive.

In 1977, the Association Jeunesse Fransaskoise was among the first organizations to incorporate the new identifier into its name.

We’re not in our little corner by ourselves. The company, it’s one of the major theatre companies in Saskatoon, so we’re part of the game. We’re part of the tapestry of the culture. — Denis Rouleau

A flag was launched in 1978. Large-scale cultural and historic festivals followed. Cultural organizations were formed.

Then in the mid-1990s, “The term Fransaskois became a dirty word,” said Gareau, “just as the English community was starting to really accept the term.”

Some people argued the term excluded French-speaking anglophones or recent immigrants.

“Now it’s starting to turn again back the other way where a large new French immigration (is coming) into the province,” said Gareau. “A lot of them are very quick to identify themselves to the Fransaskois community, which I think is very good.”

Cultural preservation must begin “at home in the family,” said Gareau, who has two children with wife Simone Verville, a French teacher and principal.

Son Sebastien, 21, and daughter Cassandra, 16, attended the French Ecole Monseigneur de Laval in Regina — Cassandra is still there in Grade 11.

Though the two are more apt to live in English, said Gareau: “I think it’s a question of the time, like when you’re a teenager, French is not all that important. So they’re going through that now, too.”

■

■ ■ ■

Growing up in a French-speaking community, it wasn’t until he entered Grade 9 at College Mathieu in Gravelbourg in 1965 that Gareau really learned English, as half his classmates spoke the language.

Due to a childhood case of polio, Gareau was never expected to follow in his dad’s footsteps and become a farmer.

But farm life did influence his work, in a way.

Pierre’s farmhands were Metis men from Batoche, 16 kilometres west of Bellevue, who would share stories about their history and heritage.

Working summers as a tour guide at Batoche National Historic Site allowed him to learn more.

“Growing up I always had a very close link to what had happened in Batoche in the 1880s and the rebellion and so forth,” said Gareau.

In 1979, he wrote La Nation Provisoire, which traces Louis Riel’s year in Saskatchewan in 1884-85. Theatre Oskana performed it in 2011.

La Trahison — his “best play,” in his esteem — evolved thanks to Batoche, from a French radio drama to an English play (The Betrayal) that debuted at the Edmonton Fringe Festival in 1985, the 100th anniversary of the resistance.

A few years later, at the request of a University of Saskatchewan French instructor, he reworked the French version.

It was twice produced by Saskatchewan’s only professional French theatre company, La Troupe du Jour, in 1995 and 1997.

■

■ ■ ■

Among the 100-or-so plays La Troupe du Jour has produced in his time as artistic director, La Trahison is one that stands out for Denis Rouleau.

I’ve worked all my life in French here in Saskatchewan, which just goes to show that it is possible to live your life pretty much in French in the province. — Gareau

“It was really well received,” said Rouleau.

But he couldn’t call it a favourite — he can’t narrow down one absolute favourite.

“There’s different things, different shows, different adventures. Some I direct myself, some I hire other directors.”

Since Rouleau began his term as artistic director in 1989, four years into the company’s existence, things have changed a lot. From a staffless volunteer organization with no office, it grew.

Rouleau’s first year was focused on promotion and trying to build a season that consisted of more than one show.

In the years that followed, the company received grant money and was able to hire an administrator and other staff. It opened an office. Then, three years ago, La Troupe Du Jour opened its own theatre.

“It was lots of work,” said Rouleau.

But the work is the result of a lifelong passion.

Growing up in Stoneham, Que., Rouleau always loved theatre in school.

He pursued drama in Montreal at the Universite de Quebec and imagined he would be an actor or designer.

The theatre took him to work in Edmonton for two years. Then he saw an ad for a job in Saskatoon; the Conseil Culturel Fransaskois was hiring a drama workshop leader for students of all ages — the same job Gareau held throughout his career.

In Saskatoon, he found La Troupe du Jour.

Saskatchewan’s francophone community is small; its francophone theatre community is even smaller.

Rouleau tries to hire as many local people as he can, but “professional actors who speak French, they’re not a lot, so that’s why every year we bring artists from outside of the province … from Winnipeg or Montreal or Quebec City,” he said.

If you leave a small town like Bellevue or Bonne or Edam or even Gravelbourg and you move into the city, chances are you won’t use your French all that much. — Gareau

That presents a financial challenge, “because when you bring an actor from a different province it’s add on the budget,” in terms of travel costs, a per diem and accommodation.

But Rouleau doesn’t see La Troupe du Jour’s financial situation as any more challenging, really, than other professional theatre companies in the province. “It’s like everybody, like every company. You can ask that question to the Globe Theatre too. It’s not just because we’re French.”

About 500 people attend a two-week run at La Troupe du Jour.

To draw a larger audience, for the past five years the company has projected English surtitles above the set. The idea came from a French theatre company in Toronto, though surtitles are used in opera a lot, he said.

The scheme has resulted in more English speakers attending the shows, said Rouleau.

“You’re French, your husband’s not, so with the surtitles that’s allowed those two people to come, to do an activity together in another language than English.

“For us, it was a way to getting new audience and to make sure we give access to the French culture to different people.

“We’re not in our little corner by ourselves. The company, it’s one of the major theatre companies in Saskatoon, so we’re part of the game,” he said. “We’re part of the tapestry of the culture.”

And why should non-francophones attend a play to read English projections?

“Because it’s good,” he said, laughing.

“Because if you love theatre, you’ll love it.

It’s a different way to do it. The energy’s not the same and of course the language; it’s always an experience to see a piece of art in a different language. Sometimes it’s not just a question of understanding the words, but it’s to feel the mood, to feel the atmosphere.”

Gareau shares that sentiment.

“The more we can get people to understand the value of the different cultures is, to me, very important,” said Gareau. amartin@leaderpost.com Twitter.com/LPAshleyM

Upcycling creates eco-friendly streetwear

By Jenn Sharp Life can be a wild ride and no one knows that better than Saskatoon designer Stevie Crowne.

Last year, Crowne was enrolled in the prestigious Blanche Macdonald Centre in Vancouver but dropped out of the fashion school after the first semester. He attributes it to being “a bad kid” and struggling with some of the classes.

He came home to Saskatoon, knowing he wasn’t cut out for fashion academia.

Instead, he wanted to jump-start a career several years in the making (he began designing clothing in high school in 2011). War Paint by Stevie Crowne is a bit grunge, with a heavy dose of punk and a dash of glamour.

For the people that wear Crowne’s clothing, made from vintage thrift pieces that he reworks and embellishes with his own touches (the cool kids call it up-cycling), it’s all about originality. These pieces are not a style for the faint of heart — or for those over a certain age. Crowne likes to take formerly ugly or dated pieces and instill his bold look.

His inspiration comes from a dark period in his life. Crowne has had plenty of struggles, but says his design inspiration now comes from God. “I know it’s a bit like a pendulum — that’s what my work is. From the dark side and from the light side, it’s a yin and yang because I think we should all embrace the good and the bad. Both… have the potential to change us in different ways and can make us better if we want it to.”

November was a traumatic month for the 20-year-old. He recently came out to a family member who wasn’t entirely supportive.

Crowne and his boyfriend broke up soon after.

“Sometimes you latch on to people and they latch on to you and you have a very good connection and people tell you many things. You have to go with what you know Stevie Crowne creates new pieces using vintage finds he from how the two of you connected, not sources in thrift stores and what everyone else on the outside says from friends. QC PHOTOS (about the two of you).”

BY MICHELLE BERG He’s rising above the drama though and throwing himself into his work.

“War Paint has saved my life. Without War Paint I would be nowhere. It’s all I got. So wear your stripes and be proud of who you are.”

Friends of Crowne’s and models Brooke Cross and Courtney Lawrence donned their favourite pieces, mixing in their own clothing for a showstopping look. The question remains: Is Regina ready? jksharp@thestarphoenix.com Twitter.com/JennKSharp

Courtney Lawrence HAT: Upcycled. “That’s a big thing (in Saskatchewan) now; there’s a bunch of people doing it,” explains Crowne of his favourite environmentally conscious way to re-work clothing.

BLAZER: Vintage tuxedo blazer. “It’s a more subtle, black on black look… and easy to wear.”

TANK: Garage.

PANTS: Mavi.

RING: The Rock Shop in Vancouver.

SHOES: A now-closed store in Saskatoon.

Brooke Cross HAT: Store in Midtown Plaza.

VEST: “It was a big old frumpy leathersleeved jacket. I saw it and thought ‘that’s disgusting. I’m going to make it beautiful,’” says Crowne.

To beautify it, Crowne cut off the sleeves, chopped the bottom off, added fringe and a crown crest logo.

SHIRT: Garage.

LEGGINGS: Ardene’s.

SHOES: Dutch Growers.

SKULL RING: From a store on Robson Street in Vancouver.

Just over $10,000 was raised on Nov. 29 for Regina’s Prostate Assessment Centre (PAC) at the Moustache Bash, presented by fashion designer Dean Renwick and presenting sponsors Dr. Roberta McKay and Elmer Brenner.

“All funds raised tonight will remain in Regina and be put to good use helping to keep the men in our province healthy,” Renwick told guests in the Shu-Box Theatre at the University of Regina.

The evening featured the unveiling of Renwick’s spring 2015 women’s line, as well as emerging designer Janis Procyk’s Prahsik Designs for spring. Procyk won the Fashion Forward Emerging Designer Award, presented by McKay and Brenner, at Saskatchewan Fashion Week in May. Colin O’Brian Man’s Shoppe showcased men’s fashions.

And the models wore jewelry by Roxanne Brown.

This was the second year of the Moustache Bash. Last year’s fundraiser also raised $10,000 for PAC.

Watch For It!

By James Romanow It’s cold. It’s dark. And the first thing you’re going to do when you get home is open a bottle of red.

Unfortunately, the most popular red wine grapes come from France, specifically from the Bordeaux. They are old people grapes. Everyone in France knows that when you’re old, you’ll drink Bordeaux. It is expensive and rather harsh, but when you reach my age your taste buds need more stimulation to wake up.

Popular vintners in Australia and America get around this in various ways, mostly by picking ultra-ripe grapes and leaving a lot of residual sugar in the wine. If you want to take a more natural approach you need to think outside the Malbec.

There are at least a thousand grape varietals in the world and you’re above average if you drink 20 of them. Wine from countries that was undrinkable as little as two decades ago, is now world class.

You can actually dial in the profile that you like with different grapes. Like a touch of mineral, iron specifically, in your wine? Try Chianti.

Dislike tannin? Then give Chianti and Valpolicella a go. Want more tannin to get along with your steak but not as much as Cabernet Sauvignon? Try Barbaresco.

This is a wine made from the Nebbiolo grape,

Leisure Ginuteir/dSpering W 2015

a sort of junior Barolo. Quite dry with some tannin, it has the kind of crisp acidity that makes for a very nice food wine. It’s also made with different yeast strains from French grapes, and released fairly old. If you have an allergic response to red wine you need to switch to another country’s grapes. I suggest this is a great place to start.

Batasiolo Barbaresco, Italy, 2010. $29.97 ***** There. A red column at last. Wine gifts in Monday’s paper and wine on Twitter @drbooze.
