Mother’s Day is on Sunday May 11th this year. Instead of just buying the typical flowers or chocolates for Mom, I would much rather treat her to an experience we can partake in together. From high tea to cooking lessons, here is a list of 10 ideas for Mother’s Day gift experiences in Vancouver.
Faubourg’s decadent High Tea is a culinary adventure fit for the most deserving of mothers, filled with gourmet treats such as delectable macarons, delicate fruit soufflés and savoury canapés.
Join Modern Mix Vancouver in celebrating the launch of KARMA BEADS at Thomas Sabo Richmond Centre on Thursday April 24, from 6pm to 9pm and you could enter to win your very own KARMA BEADS bracelet.
Start your Easter egg hunt early this year at Chez Christophe Chocolaterie and Patisserie. The Burnaby Heights shop has dedicated an entire line of exquisite handmade chocolate sculptures to Easter, featuring wonderfully imaginative creations of eggs that are almost too artistic to taste.
Already within 10 minutes of this cooking class and demonstration, I was already learning a practical array of skills that I could take home and apply to my own cooking. For example: how to make pesto from scratch, how to caramelize onions, and how to roast tomatoes.
Macaron-making is a delicate art. The shell ingredients are simple but it’s the proper tools, techniques and timing which determines your success. I knew, like many others, I would greatly benefit from an instructor to teach me the best tips and tricks in baking a successful batch of these French pastries.
