Chef Daryle Ryo Nagata
I find the boys stories as interesting as the room. Especially the family background of Chef Nagata whose GrandFather and Father were sent to Lethbridge against their wishes by a government panicked by World War Two.
Quite a story here.

Seasoned cookbook author and food columnist for the
Globe & Mail,
Lucy Waverman, has paired up with
Beppi Crosariol, wine columnist for the Globe & Mail to bring us an inspiring book,
The Flavour Principle, full of delicious recipes and thoughtful wine accompaniments.
Every great dish has a centre of gravity, a flavour or essence that pulls together other ingredients into a coherent and compelling whole. Indian curry spices, fiery Thai chilies, lemony citrus, smoky barbecue rubs—these are all flavours that we adore and that get our taste buds asking for more. Flavour is, quite simply, what makes us passionate about food and drink.
At last, here is a cookbook that focuses on this fundamental concept.
Organized around eleven distinctive tastes, from spicy to tart to bitter and beyond,
The Flavour Principle features more than thirty gorgeous menus with complementary—and sometimes surprising—beverage pairings. Covering flavours from all over the world, this cookbook is a journey around the globe. Modern and eclectic in approach, The Flavour Principle has broad appeal to food and wine lovers. Like A Matter of Taste before it, The Flavour Principle sets a new standard in food and- beverage pairing cookbooks.
The Flavour Principle
is a leading Canadian food writer. Author of eight cookbooks, she has won numerous culinary book awards and honours. She is the food editor of the popular Liquor Control Board of Ontario magazine, Food and Drink (600,000 readership), and writes a weekly column for The Globe and Mail’s Life section and a bi-weekly columnin its Style section.
