Something new to the Edible Valley podcast are episodes featuring Darren Howlett. We have asked Darren to research various ingredients, from rutabaga to cinnamon. The sky is the limit in Darren's research and what facts he can dig up. This episode he was asked to look at the delicious tuna fish. With many varieties in the sea, this is a subject that has many talking points. Enjoy!

After much hard work completed by Jon, the Edible Valley studio is up and running and it was time to invite a guest to join us in studio. We were lucky to be joined by chef and author Joseph Forest, chef-in-resident at Innisfree Farm in Royston. After 25 plus years in the conventional restaurant and catering business, Joseph was chosen to join the team at Innisfree. He is now learning about food as medicine, ancestral ways of eating, and traditional ways of preserving the harvest. Joseph and Blayne could talk for hours about these subjects and will have many more meetings over the summer. Thanks Joseph!

This week Jon and Blayne met to discuss some current events and to experiment with some more new equipment. Exciting news including the menu for the BC Shellfish Festival Gala dinner, and a very lucrative contest! Also the North Vancouver Island Chefs Associations Pasta Day is sold out, Blayne is back on Facebook with a new group for Comox Valley Paleos, and Jon is soon getting some much needed rest with a maintenance closure of Atlas Cafe.
