I am not that familiar with Lebanese cooking. Kelowna is rather slow when it comes to ethnic cuisine to be properly established within the restaurant scene. When I was growing up in Prince George, Northern British Columbia, during the 1990’s it was a completely different story. I grew up knowing the spice of a… Continue Reading
In London decent food wasn’t hard to come by but frankly memorable meals were. At least that was the case for my husband and I on our honeymoon. That is until we went on our Secret Food Tour London featuring traditional British fare in the area of Borough Market and London Bridge. See the video… Continue Reading
I am a huge fan of second, third and even tenth visits. When I find a place that meshes well with all my travel criteria I can’t help but return. It’s like I become fixated and want to experience everything over again. This can, at times, lead to let downs. I’ve been to Vegas over… Continue Reading
Where do you take someone who has never been to San Francisco before? This was a question that plagued me before my most recent trip to San Francisco. My fiancé and I were veterans. We’ve been over seven times combined and so we have our old favourites and a long list of things to do… Continue Reading
Continuing on with the theme of food tours this month, and believe me there’s more to come when I hit Oahu, I have to share one of the best food tours I have ever experienced right here in Canada. Vancouver Foodie Tours. How many times have I been to Vancouver? and my subscribed readers should… Continue Reading
With all the local artisans, cocktail revolutionaries and new chefs creating new restaurants arriving almost monthly, Kelowna has become a place to eat, drink and be merry. Recently, Expedia.ca approached me asking for my own suggestions on where a local would eat in the heart of Kelowna. I’ve thought about doing a blog post like this… Continue Reading
Where has the time gone? If you’ve subscribed to my newsletter you probably know that I am newly engaged! And little did I know what that really meant. I was never the type to plan her wedding at the age of 10 with Barbies and teddy bears strewn across my bed. Frankly, I had told… Continue Reading
Things never quite work out how you planned them to be. This is especially the case while traveling. Before departing Canada I had customized our own tour of the Champagne region for 6 people. I arranged the train tickets (Paris to Reims, Reims to Epernay, Epernay to Paris) with a stop at the Veuve Clicquot… Continue Reading
I remember hearing that the Louvre only has 10% of it’s collection on display in Paris. If you haven’t been before it is a massive museum and would take you over a month to explore every room and see every piece. That’s a daunting thought for a first timer hoping to visit the museum but… Continue Reading
I love wine. I visit plenty of wineries. I enjoy learning about the ancient elixir. Trying to pair it with meals is a delicious trial and error. I even enjoy photographing it. But I have to be honest. I don’t know that much about it. I guess I know more than the average person because… Continue Reading
Hi! I'm Murissa and I live in the Okanagan Wine Valley of British Columbia, Canada. I enjoy traveling around the world for food and local spirits. I consider myself a Champagne enthusiast and enjoy sharing my conquests on this website since 2011. Follow along as I explore my home wine valley and dabble in the occasional globetrotting. Soon to be raising a foodie of my own come July 2018!
