Welcome to Culinary Goods a journal written by Trevor Walker. It includes a growing collection of simple recipes that I refer to when cooking for our own family and some reflections on (mostly) culinary topics. Feel free to post comments and share your own family's tried and true recipes.

We are Hopping at Plenty!

Plenty Pantry Boxes for Easter

Plenty Pantry Boxes for Easter

We’ve created some Pantry Boxes for Easter.  There are two versions with the one in the photograph above featuring Similkameen Honey (possibly the best honey ever), Bonnie Bea’s Oatcakes, a Denman Island Chocolate Bunny, and Green Tea Mints.  It is $26 and the second version with Strawberry Fig Jam instead of the honey is $22.  They make wonderful hostess gifts or presents for family and friends.

Rebecca has created two wonderful displays in the front windows.  One features her adorable and quirky animals (featured in a window last Easter as well and in a previous Journal article here). She creates an eclectic array of stuffed animals representing endangered creatures from around the world including the: Western Harvest Mouse, Grizzly Bear, Northern Leopard Frog, Woodland Caribou, Nuttal’s Cottontail Rabbit, American Badger, Red Wolf, Asian Elephant, Wild Water Buffalo, and Vancouver Island Marmot.  We have several Nuttal’s Cottontail Rabbits at Plenty that would love to be adopted as Easter Bunnies!

The other window features beautiful antique botanical prints that we are selling in partnership with Jean Hutton, whose framing studio is across the street at 1031 Fort Street.  We also have a selection of her large botanical prints inside the store.  Below is the image of a print similar to some of the ones we have in stock.

Also, for Easter we have our fantastic chocolate (see my previous posts about our selection of artisinal chocolates) as well as Denman Island Chocolate Bunnies and on Thursday we will be receiving a shipment from Soma Chocolatemaker that’ll include a few of their amazing chocolate bunnies.  We have Chocolate Wine Sauce from Dana at the Hot Chick Spice Company - a wonderful Easter treat!  Chocolate covered local hazelnuts make a great Easter treat too.  Also, we have a colourful selection of baskets for the occasion.
