Chef’s Tasting

Discover the ingredients that bring these dishes to life.
A Culinary Journey Through British Columbia
“Travelling across British Columbia reconnected me with the beauty of cooking from true origin. Every ingredient here tells a story, and this menu is my way of honouring those stories through the lens of my own journey.” - Chef Shiv Kappal
Salmon
Wild Pacific salmon carries the pure taste of British Columbia, shaped by its journey from mountain streams to the open ocean and back again. This remarkable migration creates a rich, vibrant flavour that reflects the lifeblood of the region’s ecosystem and its deep cultural roots.
Bison
Once on the brink of disappearance, bison now roam British Columbia again in small, carefully managed herds. Their deep, earthy flavor reflects the open grasslands they help restore and the cultural significance they hold for Indigenous communities.
Dungeness Crab
Found along the cold, tidal waters of the Pacific Northwest, Dungeness crab is one of British Columbia’s most celebrated coastal ingredients. Its sweet, delicate flavor reflects the richness of these shores and the long tradition of coastal harvesting.
Potatoes
Grown in the quiet Pemberton Valley just north of Whistler, Pemberton potatoes draw their character from an isolated landscape shaped by strict protections and generations of organic farming. The valley’s purity has earned it a reputation as one of the world’s premier seed‑potato regions.
Wild Blueberries
A British Columbia is the world’s largest highbush blueberry-growing region, producing berries shaped by rich soils, coastal rainfall and long summer days. Wild blueberries from these northern forests offer concentrated sweetness, bright acidity and subtle earthiness influenced by the province’s glacial terrain
