I am writing from Calgary, AlbertaWithout doubt, my oiafrvte cookbock is the Rebar cookbook fromthe reastaurant of the same name, in Victoria, Canada. The recipieshave a strong vegitarian influence, but not excusively so.The books also strongly recommends sourcing organic ingrediants fortheir health benefits and flavour. This fits my own bias.The photos are great and the recipes, very easy to understand.And there are helpfull ingredient substitution and additions as well.Although the recivies are fabulous, I think themost interesting fact is the unexpected ingredients one findduring the process. For example adding small pieces of driedapricots to chocolate ckip cookies creates a great cookie.And, my oiafrvte recipe is the corn dance cakes whichtaste fantastic with the addition of smoked salmon(which we source from our oiafrvte supplier on Salt Spring Island)Unfortunately, I have never eaten in the restaurant itself. I havemissed tow opportunities to date having arrived to date to be able toget through the line ups in time.Getting hungry .
