Putting Aboriginal Cuisine on the Map – Aboriginal BC

April 9, 2015

Aboriginal Tourism BC recently partnered with nationally award-winning Toque & Canoe – an online magazine and blog about Canadian travel culture. Editor-in-chief Kim Gray will be producing several stories in an arms-length collaboration with us over the course of this year. Her first story showcases the growing trend of Aboriginal-inspired cuisine throughout Canada. We sat down with her to get an insider’s perspective for the making of “Tasting Turtle Island – Aboriginal Cuisine goes Mainstream”.

Aboriginal Tourism BC: Let’s start with Vancouver bistro Salmon n’ Bannock. We hear you recently ate there.

Kim: You bet I did. I was with my mom, who had flown from Kelowna to Vancouver to meet me. I was in town because my daughter had a skating competition. I called up Inez Cook, the bistro’s co-owner, and even though it was the final weekend of Vancouver’s Dine Out Festival and the restaurant was booked solid, she found us a table. She knew I was keen to experience the restaurant. (Thanks Inez!)
