Marisa:
Reason: What characterizes Canadian cuisine? This is a question I am asked again and again when travelling or living in other countries. Visitors to Vancouver often ask the same thing, they want to know where to find a typical Canadian meal or where to have a truly Westcoast dining experience. In Vancouver, the food we love is inherently multicultural. This international influence makes us creative and inspired
in the kitchen. Our British Columbian context adds a dash of tradition to our dining, which can be found in local staples such as cedar plank salmon and braised maple butternut squash. Vancouver is home to an urban farming movement that is growing faster than we can keep track.
People here appreciate organic and local produce, making us passionate about fresh ingredients. Each of these things contributes to our distinct food identity as ‘Vancouverites’, British Columbians, ‘Westcoasters’ or Canadians.
