The Red, White, and Green

Vancouver's famous Granville Island Public Market is an incredible source for local, farm-fresh produce

I’ll be in Vancouver later this week, so I thought it would be fitting to mention that the city recently joined the Meatless Monday Canada effort. The Canook movement and website are still in the works, but will be partnering with Meatless Monday stateside to help spread the movement across the north.

Since Vancouver is known for its devotion to local and sustainable food — not to mention a diverse ethnic population that serves up some of the most lauded Chinese, Japanese, and Indian cuisine outside of those countries — I have no doubt that its foodie inhabitants will have endless resources for tasty vegetarian fare.

For your next Meatless Monday, check out this recipe for Coconut Curried Vegetables from renown Vancouver Indian restaurant Vij’s (which I’m looking forward to visiting when I’m there!).
