As BC slowly starts to open up, we still need exercise patience with staying home and social distancing. At this time, restaurants are still closed, but that doesn’t mean we can’t enjoy the bounty of food that our much-loved local restaurants have to offer. Some of those restaurants have even created meal kits, so we cook and recreate their dishes from home!

Everybody loves a fancy breakfast—hollandaise sauce, maple syrup, diced fruit, freshly-squeezed orange juice, espresso— all the fixings. Is your mouth watering yet? Mine too.
