Over this past year I've developed this immense love of cooking. I don't have a lot of spare time to do it, but when I do get the opportunity... it's love.
I'm the type of person who comes home from a crap day at work and bakes to make herself feel better. I don't veg out on the couch, grab a bag of chips and pour myself a glass of vino... Instead I break out the flour, sugar, eggs and butter and get experimenting.
My mother is an amazing cook. She's the type of genius that can throw together a bunch of random ingredients - a pinch of this, a handful of that - and voila! It's a masterpiece! Shame I didn't inherit her genius cooking skills. C'est la vie.
She probably picked up on my love of cooking/lack of skills because she gifted EC and myself two cooking demonstration classes for Christmas.
Quince is a quaint little cafe, boutique food shop and bakery by day, and a cooking school by night. It's located on Burrard and 2nd nestled amongst the high-end automobile dealerships.
The owner Chef Andrea Jefferson was our expert demonstrator of the evening and the theme was Hawaiian Pupus. She demonstrated step-by-step procedures to creating our North Shore Fish Tacos, Ahi Tuna Poke on a Fried Dumpling Skin and Guava & Rum Glazed Pork Ribs all washed down with Tropical Mai Tai (heavy on the rum).

The next day we somehow found ourselves looking up flights to Honolulu. Funny what a little taste of the island will do to you.
