Oh *Deborah*!!! Wow, wow,wow! This has been SUCH a fun blog! Again, this was proof that something pretty special is going on in Vancouver!!! Have a good rest, you will have deserved it!!!

Rain??? But...but...your ceiling??!!!!

*Deborah*, that improv was too perfect!!! This couldn't have happened if it had been planned to death!!! Wow! You guys are GOOD !!!! Excellent, excellent blog!

Oh, *Deborah* this is NOT good. Good luck getting that looked at before it gets worse. Can someone put a tarp on your roof today??

Which dishwasher did you get?

What a fab dinner!!! And great pics of the Wolf in action!! Gorgeous range!!!!!!! Your counters look great...what are they? Oh and that picture of you? Based on the fact that you had three hours sleep and shopped and cooked all day? Fab, I say! I would have been *under the table, napping*...so I think you did extremely well!

Your kitchen is funky-gorgeous! How much input did Daddy-A have in it? And the sink....ahhhhhh!!! I tried to show the Wolf to spouse last night...he covered his eyes, refusing to look, even though I mentionned the red knobs. I waaaaaannnnt one! (but it won't happen...)*sigh*

Oh *Deborah*! You brave soul!!!! Am so very much looking forward to your blog!!

Wow, Marlene! What size are the bigger ones?

Ah!!! Excellent reward!!! And what do you plan on ordering???

Two more for me: Piano, Piano, Pieno: Authentic Food from a Tuscan Farm and As Fresh as it Gets, Everyday Recipes from the Tomato Fresh Food Café (Vancouver)

Oh, Maggie, how about Sweetgrass Aboriginal Bistro??? They're on Murray, can be found at sweetgrassbistro.ca. Their aim is the same as Les Fougères'...fresh, local, beautifully put together. The entrance is non-descript. A new condo is being built next to it and...well, construction is construction. However, once inside, the atmosphere is relaxed and cosy. The walls are adorned with native artwork which changes monthly. The chefs (who are also the owners) know what they are doing...and, believe it or not, the price is really ok! Wine list: interestingly, no French or Italian here...you will find interesting Australian, New-Zealand, Californian, Canadian.... Enjoy! I have, again and again.... edited to add: oh, and they do lunch beautifully!

Thx for posting the pics, Chris! Nice work!!!

I think I gained that weight for you!!! Wonderful, wonderful, fun blog! Thank you so very very much Henry!

I really liked the look of your table and your plating. Really puts the spotlight on the food. Everything looked divine, from beginning to end. Lucky guests!!! I can't believe how calm you seemed.... Yikes, I would have been scrambling!!

Daikon cakes??? Duck eggs??? I weaken at the knees........

Henry, there would be no brunch for me today if I had been at that table! The Alaskan Halibut looked exquisite...actually, everything looked fabulous!

Your loft kitchen is cool, Henry, and the Huwe kitchen is pretty amazing too!

Oh my!!! This will indeed be a treat. Am very much looking forward to your blog, Henry. And yes, we do very much want a peek of your kitchen....

Jaz, thank you so much for blogging this week! I enjoyed the the way you introduced a drink before each cooking session. I had been missing out but will pick up one of the books you recommended and expand my repertory. Thank you also for letting us dictate your menu! Those marrow bones looked exquisite!! I, too, enjoyed your kitchen layout. Oh, and those cookbooks... Oh, and how was the class last night?

Thx for the pantry shot!

I am beyond impressed!! Those cassoulet look divine!!!

Jaz, thanks for the cookbook pics! Your blog makes me want to mix a drink (or two) and COOK

Count me in from Ottawa Ontario Canada. I'll do my homework this week and come back and share my findings.

Another vote for marrow bones...oh and could we please have a close-up shot of the cookbooks on the window sill?
