Vangroovy

Because "Vangroovy" is the most stereotyped city in Canada, I felt what I as a newcomer needed to do: ditch the power suits, eat organic, exercise a lot and be laid back all the time.

Here we are in a beautiful Calgary garden. The groovy newlywed young engineer who designed and installed the very Vancouver garden spent his childhood in Richmond. He offers me a veggie burger and with a straight face says, “What’s it like in Vangroovy these days?”

Recipes and photographs are nothing short of gorgeous and if you’ve got friends in Vangroovy (and who doesn’t), this book will delight them to no end.
