Since I was a child, my dream was to write — what to write I wasn’t sure.

I just had this intense longing for a book cover to scream out my name. As with many dreams, we tend to push them to a corner when we are adults — too busy to give them a second thought.

But when my daughter was born, I became inspired to write more and read more ... A LOT more. Jamie was colicky for the first four months of her life and when she wasn’t crying and I could hear my own voice, I was reading stories to her.

From a very young age (it seemed like since birth), Jamie was soothed by books and later by the stories I told her before bed. As Jamie grew older and found her words, she would ask me to tell her stories each night and I found myself brainstorming interesting stories each day so

ON THE COVER #

I really discovered my creative side when I started cooking. — Aimee Schulhauser

LOCAL BUSINESS

Schulhauser is sharing her love of food

By Ashley Martin If Aimee Schulhauser had to eat one meal for the rest of her life, it would be her favourite meal of all time: her mom’s roast ham, scalloped potatoes, and coleslaw with vinaigrette.

Diane Schulhauser’s cooking wasn’t always so appreciated.

Her eldest daughter envied the Kraft Dinner her friends were served, with its sharp orange hue.

She and her two siblings were fed an “anemic”-looking homemade macaroni and cheese, a pale creamy colour, sometimes with dark pink cubes of ham in it — the unprocessed equivalent of wieners in KD. Every birthday without fail, Schulhauser’s grandmother Eleanor Lipinski would bake a cake for each of her grandchildren — sometimes angel food, sometimes chiffon, always with “happy birthday” in icing. A one-time request for cheesecake was met with shock: “‘That’s not what we do.’”

What Lipinski does is from-scratch dough shaped into poppyseed strudel, and pickled leaves of cabbage stuffed with rice and pork, “the German way.”

“She’s probably the best cook you’ll ever see,” her chef granddaughter averred.

■ ■ ■ ■ Aimee Schulhauser didn’t start cooking until adulthood. She didn’t have to.

“Everyone thinks I started behind my mom’s apron kind of thing and she taught me everything I know — nope. She was so good though that we didn’t learn how to cook, we didn’t need to fend for ourselves.”

So aside from baking cookies or brownies every now and then, Schulhauser was inexperienced in the kitchen.

Moving to Regina for university was a wake-up call: “Oh my god, there’s nothing on the table when I get home.”

She subsisted on an “all-carb diet” — bagels, Michelina’s frozen dinners, dollar meat pies — for three months, until realizing “the Sidekicks, putting broccoli in it does not make a different dish out of it.”

She invested in a $4 magazine, the July 1997 issue of Cooking Light, which has ultimately led to her ownership of three local foodie businesses: Evolution Catering & Fine Foods, Tangerine: The Food Bar and Schoolhaus Culinary Arts.

She made every recipe in that magazine — blueberry Bundt cake, black bean dip and yellow pepper soup were among the first — using hand-me-down dishes and chopping with steak knives.

“I was hooked. ‘Did you know you can get yellow peppers?’ I’d never had cilantro before.”

It was an eye-opening experience. “I felt like an explorer, like, ‘This is new, this is great!’”

You have to make something every day anyway, so why not make it different every day?

— Schulhauser

Aimee Schulhauser, who has tapped into the Regina community’s thirst for good food that’s made with care, discovered her creative side when she started cooking in university. QC PHOTO BY DON HEALY

By the third year of her bachelor’s degree in geology, she wanted to change paths, even though she’d always loved science.

“I thought I was very fact-oriented and black and white and ‘show me the data’ kind of thing. As I started cooking, I realized you don’t have to be one way or another. I really discovered my creative side when I started cooking.”

She wanted to spend all her time in the kitchen, but knew she’d regret it if she didn’t finish her degree. So she moved her chef dreams to the back burner and relocated to Calgary for a job as a buyer with Schlumberger. On week-

ends, she’d bake, roast and fry to her heart’s content. She thought cooking would become a second-round career two decades down the road.

When the company moved to Houston after three years, Schulhauser didn’t follow. She enrolled in the year-and-a-half cooking program at SAIT Polytechnic instead.

At age 27, she was back in Regina with a dream of opening her own business — fuelled further by the memory of an anti-Saskatchewan cooking instructor at SAIT. “‘Oh, you’re from Saskatchewan? I pack a lunch so I don’t have to stop there,’” she re-

called him once saying. “It was just so galling.

“It made me want to make a difference.”

For four months, she worked at a call centre while catering on the side. Then she pursued catering full time.

Evolution Catering began nine years ago in a 1,000-square-foot renovated office space. It was a springboard for the next business, Tangerine: The Food Bar, which opened in June 2010.

“I always thought lunch would be a great little niche market and it would give me my evenings off.”

But with the exposure the restaurant of-

fered, it brought more attention to the cooking classes she had been quietly offering for two years.

The three-hour classes started small, one a month with a four-person capacity. They grew steadily: First the cancellations ebbed, then the class size increased, then every session was selling out with people of all ages enrolling.

Until moving to an online registration system, people would line up or phone in to reserve. One time, 178 spots sold in 20 minutes.

Lineups would start at 6 a.m. Food fans once crashed the phone lines.

She’s very determined and works really hard at it and has the right attitude, makes sure she has the right people around her. She pretty much does everything right, I think. — Diane Schulhauser

Aimee Schulhauser’s cooking classes are usually sold out.

WINE

SPIRITS

Her geology background applies to some of the classes: soil is discussed in wine and food pairing; physics applies to knife class.

“I get really excited when I talk about it,” she said. “I nerd out a little bit there.

People’s eyes glaze over.”

There are 100 different themes, ranging from regional cuisine to skill-based classes — the aforementioned knife skills is a popular one, teaching people each month to julienne, chiffonade and dice.

Schulhauser finds the interest in the classes empowering.

“It’s not about filling your belly, it’s about the crafting of a dish now, and I think that’s really something that more people are discovering for the first time.

“I think that it allows people to see food in a different way. It’s in a fun atmosphere. It’s a social outing, you get a great meal and someone is directing you through it, so it becomes more engaging and more involved with your senses rather than just getting a plate of food

delivered to your table.”

Farmhouse French is her favourite class. Featuring rillette, gratin, coq au vin and torte, she wrote the class six years ago, one of her first; it reminds her of her roots. “Plus the food’s really good.”

■ ■ ■ ■ Good and different are two qualities Schulhauser strives to achieve in her food.

Tangerine’s menu changes daily for just that reason.

“You have to make something every day anyway, so why not make it different every day? Change it up, adapt to seasons, adapt to what’s available,” said Schulhauser. “The lettuce crop in California right now, we’re getting limited supplies of that and their fresh stuff, so maybe make a coleslaw and no one has to be the wiser.”

Maybe the restaurateurs are willing to take more of a risk now that the population is a bit more diverse. Because if it was just my uncles, well, they won’t even eat here. — Schulhauser

It keeps the chefs on their toes.

“It’s a little bit challenging trying to come up with something every day. We do have favourites that we try and rotate through,” said Diane Schulhauser, Aimee’s mom and Tangerine’s head chef for the past 2.5 years. It was a promotion from her start there, working parttime before she retired from Canada Post.

“She’s a natural leader — as a mother I suppose you would have to be — very well organized, has great ideas and is in love with food.

It was natural fit; it took me a while to see it,” said Schulhauser “She’s a good boss,” said Diane. “She treats everybody the same and lets everybody do their thing.”

As business has grown, Schulhauser has

spent less time in the kitchen.

“I feel like I’m in the way and I think that’s a good thing because that means I have good people, they know what they’re doing and they don’t need any kind of micromanagement.”

Her 12-to-14-hour days largely involve customer service, answering emails, getting groceries, teaching cooking classes and assisting her staff.

“I’m not surprised” at her success, said Diane. “She’s very determined and works really hard at it and has the right attitude, makes sure she has the right people around her. She pretty much does everything right, I think.”

In a cooking world typically dominated by men, all but two of Tangerine’s 21 staff are women. In a business world likewise dominat-

ed by men, Schulhauser’s three companies are going strong.

“I don’t feel different. I don’t feel disadvantaged at all or left out or anything. I don’t buy into any of the stereotypes either,” said Schulhauser. “(Tangerine is) kind of a safe — so to speak — place for women to cook because it’s a kinder, gentler kitchen and there’s no yelling here, there’s no swearing here, you get a lot of support. Not like women need to be coddled or anything, but it’s more of an opportunity to grow if you’re not worried about hierarchies or the old boys club.

“I know that a lot of people drop out of the industry after a while anyway and it seems more so for women, so hopefully if I can keep

them in a little bit longer that’ll be good.”

■ ■ ■ ■ Fresh food is on Schulhauser’s radar beyond ingredients. She keeps tabs on food trends, taking foodie vacations across the United States and attending the annual Las Vegas Wine and Food Festival, where “mere mortals” mill about among food celebrities like Bobby Flay, Giada De Laurentiis and Gordon Ramsay.

“It’s fun to try new things and to rediscover something that you maybe used to cook but they’re now presenting it in different ways,” said Schulhauser.

Last year, meat balls were big. She’s noticed short ribs making a comeback.

It’s not about filling your belly, it’s about the crafting of a dish now, and I think that’s really something that more people are discovering for the first time. — Schulhauser

“My mom made short ribs all the time and they’re great, but for me it was always like, ‘Aw, short ribs, did we get down to the bottom of the freezer?

Aw.’ And always with sauerkraut too.

And now I go to these fancy places and I’m getting short ribs for $50 and I kind of want sauerkraut,” she said with a laugh.

Her goal is to keep things interesting and entice people to keep coming back.

Locally, though, her schedule doesn’t allow much time for going out.

“When I get home, I stay home. And we order in a lot of takeout,” Schulhauser said.

She and her husband Dean Hooker have a penchant for Domino’s Pizza — an “embarrassing” admission, though she is not ashamed of her meal of choice: “I get the thin-crust veggie and I put sriracha on it and it is delicious.”

She’s excited by the growth in Regi-

na’s food scene, a consequence of the city’s general growth.

“It’s a place I said I would never move back to ever, and I’m sure you’ve heard that before, but when I moved back I saw it in different eyes,” said Schulhauser. “Maybe the restaurateurs are willing to take more of a risk now that the population is a bit more diverse. Because if it was just my uncles, well, they won’t even eat here.”

In terms of her own business, Schulhauser is excited for the years to come.

She’s got her mind on a breakfast restaurant, and would like to open a food market, providing rare ingredients and ready-made meals.

“I think there’s a need for it; I think there’s a want. We have a really educated population, they’re really savvy about food now and that kind of thing would serve us quite well.” amartin@leaderpost.com Twitter.com/LPAshleyM

ON THE SCENE #

A LITTLE SYMPHONY FOR WINDS 9.

Music lovers gathered at Government House on Sunday afternoon to enjoy A Little Symphony for Winds, presented by the Regina Symphony Orchestra (RSO).

The concert featured Alice Ho: “Corthurnus” Trio for Flute, Cello, Piano; Poulenc: Trio for Oboe, Bassoon, Piano; Pierne: Pastorale Variations; and Gounod: Petite Symphony for Winds.

Gounod composed his Petite Symphony at the request of his friend and mentor Paul Taffonel. It is described on the RSO’s website as “elegant, delicate and sweet.”

“Poulenc’s Trio for Oboe, Bassoon and Piano exemplifies woodwind virtuosity,” the RSO’s website says. “Pierne captures an idyllic scene; and Alice Ho’s exciting work, ‘Corthurnus,’ stimulates the imagination with a rich palette of instrumental colours.”

Sourcing heirloom seeds at made-in-Canada event

By Erl Svendsen The event of the year for gardeners is coming soon.

Seedy Saturday was started by Sharon Rempel who was searching for local heirloom vegetable, flower and wheat varieties for an 1880s garden project at the Grist Mill and Garden in Keremeos, B.C. Her first event in 1990 at the VanDusen Botanical Garden in Vancouver brought out 500 people. She talked about seeds, and the group swapped and bought their own. A few local seed companies were on hand selling open-pollinated varieties as well as representatives from conservation and health organizations.

Since then, the event has spread across Canada, the United States and Europe. Seeds of Diversity (www. seeds.ca), a charitable non-profit organization interested in preserving heirloom seeds, helps local Canadian groups host Seedy Saturdays and Sundays.

Seedy Saturdays everywhere follow a very similar model to that first one in 1990. There’s usually a trade show where local seed companies have heirloom, open-pollinated varieties for sale. There can be several local organizations interested in health, food security, sustainability or farm issues. And like Sharon’s first event, there are usually presentations about local or regional food issues and opportunities, gardening or new trends in food production.

You may be wondering what all the fuss is about heirloom seeds. I’ve found growing heirloom varieties connects families and cultures across generations.

A friend of mine found some of her late grandmother’s bean seeds.

She planted them to see if any were viable and to her surprise, enough came up to continue the saving-growing cycle that her grandmother had practised for decades. Because of my Norwegian heritage, I was curious to try ‘Norsk brun’ (Norwegian brown)

beans last year. They grew like gangbusters and ripened in early September. They make excellent baked beans.

Seeds cannot be stored forever — they lose their viability with each passing year, even under ideal storage conditions. They need to be planted out periodically to generate fresh seed for storage. And it might surprise you to learn that not just hippies, tree-huggers and hipsters are interested in preserving heirlooms seeds.

Growing heirloom seeds has gone mainstream, thanks to the burgeoning interest in community gardening and organic farming. Furthermore, the federal government has long had an interested in preserving old varieties (and wild crop relatives) for their potential to contribute to new variety development.

The Plant Gene Resources Centre in Saskatoon, part of Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, is a literal storehouse of seeds through time and

from across the world. Many other countries have similar seed banks.

BENEFITS TO GROWING HEIRLOOM VARIETIES: ■ Diverse and represent a huge storehouse of genetic information ■ Locally adapted in terms of climate, soil, pests and disease ■ Expect a longer harvest window because they are not as genetically uniform as modern cultivars ■ A longer harvest window means you can eat fresh produce over a longer period instead of everything ripening at the same time ■ You can expect a harvest every year because their variability ensures that some will be adapted to whatever the growing conditions might be. On the downside, they may not be resistant to recent disease and insect pest invasions.

Scrimgeour didn’t stop at black and white

By Ashley Martin WHO? Jane Scrimgeour WHAT/WHERE? Her seven-storey condo in west Regina WHEN? Scrimgeour moved into the unique 1977 condo complex in 1993 and began renovating in 1996. It was a years-long process and cosmetically has been the biggest shift.

WHY? Scrimgeour grew up in England around lavish homes. When she came to Canada, she brought some of that taste with her. Her previous decor was replete with wing chairs and antiques in soft colours and lots of gold.

Then one day four years ago, she woke up and decided it was time for a change.

“Your home is your castle, you need to embrace your home, to feel very comfortable in your home,” she says. “For some people … this would not be their comfort level at all.”

HOW? It happened gradually, first with paint — a mauve colour called cool wine, which she found at Yarnton’s. Then she bought some black chairs, and started spray-painting things silver — her friends call her the spray-paint queen. She redid her flooring, replacing some of the ivory coloured carpet with a “tuxedo” shade and adding some slate laminate.

In 2007 she opened up her kitchen and gained more space by adding a moonshaped countertop.

She has swapped in other paint colours more recently, with pink, green and grey adding to the largely black and white decor.

She describes the finished product as urban chic.

Scrimgeour is a huge fan of jewel tones.

She’s strict with her colour scheme — linens and utensils on display match the accent colours — and has tried not to overdose on black.

For new items, she frequents HomeSense, Bouclair Home and Jysk, and has discovered some good finds at Rona, Sears Clearance, London Drugs, Salvation Army and Value Village.

SPACES She likes to repurpose as much as possible. She has spraypainted lamps, sconces and baskets for inexpensive decorating. She once used the fabric from a sundress to redecorate a side table.

What she can’t reuse, she sells on Used Regina or donates.

While renovating can be overwhelming for some people, Scrimgeour is fuelled by it.

“Change can be fun, change can be good, but sometimes change can be very stressful and if you’re out of your comfort zone it can be very, very uncomfortable for some people. But when it comes to home decor, there’s not too much that would scare me.”

She and her husband Rick lived in eight different homes during their marriage.

“It became a bit of a hobby” to move, she says. “These days they probably would call it flipping … and we didn’t necessarily buy a home in order to live in it for a year and then resell it. We just really enjoyed change.”

Her favourite room in the house is her bedroom — “it’s my oasis,” she says. She’s enjoyed having a feminine bedroom since childhood.

“My father, he always made sure that I had a really, really girly bedroom ... He always made sure I had pretty sheets; they always had little rosebuds on them or they were pink.”

He once built her a padded headboard to match a comforter.

Scrimgeour loves the different levels of her condo — it’s good exercise, she says, and has lots of character. The bottom two levels are entrances (a back door on the first level, front door on the second); one middle level is a landing.

The downside is the home is so narrow it’s difficult to get anything up the stairs.

In summertime, the large gazebo-covered patio is like an added room. She brings a bit of the indoors outside, and vice versa. amartin@leaderpost.com Twitter.com/LPAshleyM

A wonderfully charming bouquet of floral aromas

By James Romanow A complaint I hear periodically about German wines is “they’re too sweet.”

I find the comment odd because trocken (dry) riesling is made and exported from Germany for quite reasonable prices. Indeed, many of them are much nicer than competing wines from other countries like Australia.

If you like a wine with a mineral finish, and a pleasantly brisk acidity you need to spend more time exploring the riesling grape. Most people drink wine that is glorified coolers — mostly fruit juice with a healthy alcoholic kick (e.g. zinfandel). To fans of such beverages, I and pretty much the entire wine trade (all of whom insist on championing riesling), are wasting our time.

The reason I champion riesling is that the stuff is the perfect food wine.

A trocken riesling does the same job sauvignon blanc does of cleaning the dust of the day from your tongue when you come home. Both

share the same juicy citrus profile, however riesling tilts the bouquet subtly towards floral aromas that can be wonderfully charming if you take the time to smell the roses.

I came across a couple bottles at the Co-op in Saskatoon and quite enjoyed them. If you can’t get there, watch for any trocken riesling you see. Ulrich Languth Trocken Riesling is a perfect example of why dry riesling should fit in your wine cupboard. This is a great pasta and cheese wine, especially with pork sausages or other lighter meats.

It has a very slightly floral bouquet, a crisp citrus entrance, a smooth mid-palate and a lingering stony finish.

The minerality of Mosel wines is always admirable and this glass should silence the most strident “I don’t drink sweet” critic.
