Diverse entertaining options are available at some of Canada’s best restaurants including Vancouver’s Diva at the Met
www.metropolitan.com/xmas2010.htm
December 8, 2010; Vancouver, B.C. – This winter, the renowned chefs of Metropolitan Hotels want guests to entertain stress-free by leaving the shopping, cooking and cleaning to them. That’s why each Metropolitan restaurant has offered holiday dining options that play to each chef and restaurant’s strengths and unique style.
“The holidays is the season for celebration and spending time with family and friends,” says Caroline Neish, corporate director of food and beverage for Metropolitan Hotels. “By offering a variety of spectacular and yet value-driven choices for our customers, we hope that everyone can focus on enjoying his or her holidays with what is most important.”
Diva at the Met’s Chef Quang Dang has created menus for each special day of the season, with sumptuous dishes ranging from a more traditional butter-poached turkey breast, through to true Cascadian options such as Vancouver Island scallops with a duck “pho” broth. As is now tradition, Lai Wah Heen’s lineup includes its sumptuous New Year’s Day buffet that combines traditional Chinese classics like Peking Duck and abalone with international favourites such as Roast Prime Rib and sushi. Hemispheres Restaurant is already running its Christmas around the World Luncheon menu. Lai Toh Heen is planning a reprise of its successful Christmas and New Year’s Eve dinners. Senses Restaurant will feature the luscious libation of Champagne to anchor its offerings. And Habitat Restaurant, the newest Metropolitan restaurant, also plans to be the focus of celebrations in Canmore with special dinners and its Twelve Days of Christmas festivities.
The entire range of Christmas and New Year’s special events can be found at www.metropolitan.com/xmas2010.htm.

Su Foster Jewellery offers new lines perfect for holiday gift giving
Available at both Fab Fair and on East Side Culture Crawl with online store coming soon
November 2, 2010; Vancouver, BC: This holiday season, choosing a unique, fashion forward present for your loved one is made easy with two new locally-handcrafted lines from su foster jewellery+art+object: Salad Days, a collection of stackable rings; and the Twisted and Hammered collection of high-end filigree statement pieces.
Working on a similar concept to the charm bracelet, the new Salad Days collection includes hand-crafted sterling silver rings that can be worn individually, or stacked, swapped and changed depending on whether the moment calls for pared-down chic or a bold splash. Current designs are inspired by nature, including seed pods and leaves, and new issues in coming seasons will be easily mixed and matched with previous editions. This makes them a great gift that can be added to over the years. Affordable and an easy fit for this winter’s lady-like trend, Salad Days rings have a finish that that will develop a deep patina over the years. Matching post earrings are also available.
Intricate filigree earrings and necklaces make up the Twisted and Hammered collection. Available in both sterling silver and 18K gold-plated sterling silver (and sometimes both in the one piece), the collection is at once delicate and bold. Some of the most iconic pieces in the Twisted and Hammered collection are made up of painstakingly crafted filigree balls incorporated into elegantly dangling earrings and necklaces.
Those buying for the man in their lives will appreciate the West Coast collection - a range of silver men’s rings taking inspiration from B.C.'s natural surroundings: bark, rainforest, driftwood and yes, rain. The pieces are both substantial enough to create a statement, but still appropriately refined.
To make it easy for holiday shoppers to pick up distinctive presents for their fashionable friends and family, pieces from all three collections will be available from the su foster jewellery+art+object table at the Fab Fair Winter Show at Vancouver’s Main Street Heritage Hall on November 20 and 21 (www.fabfair.ca). Su Foster’s workshop at 1177 Parker (at the back of the Mergatroid Building) will also be open to the public during the East Side Culture Crawl, November 26, 27 and 28 (www.eastsideculturecrawl.com). Holiday shoppers will also be able to pick up items through an online store, launching in the next few weeks at http://shop.sufoster.com.
Throughout the year, pieces from the Salad Days collection are available at Forsya Boutique & Gallery (2206 Main Street, Vancouver; www.forsyaboutique.com), while West Coast collection rings are available at Lloyd's of Gastown (157 Water Street, Vancouver; lloydsofgastown.tumblr.com).
su foster jewellery+art+object is a local company that consists of the slightly hippy-like Su Foster working away in her cosy, Eastside studio, focusing on small details of jewellery design that would send other people either crazy or blind. Su graduated from the Jewellery and Small Object Design program at Kootenay School of Art in Nelson, B.C. In 2002. Since then she has worked as a professional goldsmith alongside world-class artists and has continued her education both locally and abroad. www.sufoster.com

Fall for apples! Feature menu shows off our favourite harvest fruit
Chef Quang Dang creates special dishes highlighting apples available October and November
www.divamet.com
September 20, 2010; Vancouver, B.C. – As the weather turns cooler and we wave good-bye to peaches and tomatoes at the markets, thoughts turn to the fall harvest and, naturally, apples. To celebrate the harvest, Diva at the Met’s chef, Quang Dang has created a special fall feature menu using the apple as the common note in dishes that incorporate the bounty of the season.
“The Cascadian region is known for the beautiful apples that we produce,” said Chef Dang. “It seems only natural to showcase them while they're in season. They can be crisp and refreshing, or tender and comforting, depending on how you use them, and they're a perfect complement to anything from seafood through to roasted meats. And, of course, they shine in desserts.”
Chef Dang gets his apples from Apple Luscious Organic Orchard on Salt Spring Island, and throughout the fall, he will use their Winekist – a red-fleshed variety, and their Pink Ladies in the restaurant. He will also be attending the Salt Spring Island Organic Apple Festival in early October to source further varieties from the 350+ different types of apples grown on the island.
Throughout October and November, the following special apple dishes will be available:
Apple & Belgian endive salad
toasted almonds, organic rye croutons, Farmhouse castle blue cheese dressing
Suggested wine pairing: Kettle Valley Sauvignon Blanc, 2008, Okanagan, BC
Apple cider braised pork cheeks
caramel poached crab apples, white bean croquette, whole grain mustard jus
Suggested wine pairing: Cloudline Pinot Gris, 2008, Willamette Valley, Oregon, USA
Maple glazed Vancouver Island scallops
thyme roasted apple & celeriac puree, apple gel
Suggested wine pairing: Kendall Jackson Vintner's Reserve Chardonnay, 2007, California, USA
Apple & pecan brioche bread pudding
spiced apple cream tarts, house made apple cider
Suggested wine pairing: Mount Boucherie Late Harvest Chardonnay, 2004, Okanagan, BC
toasted almonds, organic rye croutons, Farmhouse castle blue cheese dressing
Suggested wine pairing: Kettle Valley Sauvignon Blanc, 2008, Okanagan, BC
Apple cider braised pork cheeks
caramel poached crab apples, white bean croquette, whole grain mustard jus

Apple & pecan brioche bread pudding
spiced apple cream tarts, house made apple cider
Suggested wine pairing: Mount Boucherie Late Harvest Chardonnay, 2004, Okanagan, BC
Restaurant manager Brian Matassa has taken each of the apple dishes and created a distinctive wine pairing for them. In keeping with the Cascadian approach, all wines are from the region, and perfectly highlight the nuances of each dish. “Apples are a lot of fun to pair with wine,” said Matassa. “For instance, the Kettle Valley Sauvignon Blanc first appears fruit forward and sweet, but finishes with typical varietal grassy notes and good acidity, which makes it perfect for matching with the toasted almonds and blue cheese in Chef Dang's apple and Belgian endive salad.”
Along with the special apple dishes available throughout October and November, Chef Dang has rolled out his new menus bearing the unmistakable hallmark of his Cascadian cuisine. The style combines the fresh spirit of the Cascadian region with the multicultural and indigenous influences that have shaped the region's history and applies them to the enviable coastal bounty of ingredients that the area produces.
