Vancouver’s dining scene is synonymous with farm-fresh menus, boundless creativity, and a collaborative spirit. It’s no surprise that the city has evolved to become a global foodie destination. Filled with mouthwatering recipes and beautiful photographs, Vancouver Eats presents 90 recipes from 45 of the city’s best restaurants. With recipes for salads (Fable’s Heirloom Tomato Salad with Burrata), soups (Tacofino’s tortilla soup), brunch (Cafe Medina’s fricassee champignons), mains (David Hawksworth’s cherry tomato, olive, and arugula pizza), desserts (Thomas Haas’s hazelnut praline éclair), and cocktails (The Botanist’s Appleseed cocktail), this inspired anthology boasts a collection of original and innovative dishes by chefs who’ve put Vancouver on the culinary map. It even includes a few notable restaurants from Whistler. And best of all, the recipes have been designed with home cooks in mind.

I was recently gifted this cookbook, which is a compendium of some unique and iconic dishes of popular restaurants in Van City. There were a few recipes that are rather simplistic and don’t merit inclusion (in my opinion) such as the pizza recipe. Others are wonderful, depicting the unique fusion of East and West that is typical Vancouver (or Canadian, one might argue!). Preceding a recipe is a profile of the Vancouver chef who created a particular recipe - it’s interesting to read about their culinary influences and experiences in Vancouver. The photography is top notch and if anything, this book is a nice addition to one’s coffee table.

It certainly is a lovely book, but I feel like it's more in the category of coffee table book than cookbook.
