owntown at Christmas is a magical time. A sparkling mosaic of light and colour, vibrant decorations and bustling city streets filled with shoppers.

You’re invited to make Downtown Vancouver your destination for retail therapy, spa therapy, the company party, a night at the theatre, religious services, free activities for kids ... and the list goes on.

Make sure you’re on that list (Santa’s list, that is) and source all your gift-giving ideas here. From the one-of-a-kind to the thoughtful to the everyday - you’ll find them all downtown.

The Downtown Vancouver Business Improvement Association (DVBIA) is pleased to partner with Business in Vancouver and participating advertisers in this publication to bring you the best of the season that you can only get downtown.

Woodward’s Windows

I

n the 1960s and ’70s, Christmas in Vancouver meant

heading down to the Woodward’s Department Store with your family or sweetheart and seeing the department store’s display windows come to life.

❘

CHRISTMAS DOWNTOWN 2014

❘

When Woodward’s closed in 1993, Canada Place purchased the windows and carefully restored each handcrafted piece. The Woodward’s Windows feature classic holiday scenes with animated characters and elaborate décor. They are a treasured part of Vancouver’s history and a very special part of the holiday magic at Canada Place.

58

Christmas at Canada Place presented by Port Metro Vancouver, December 13-31, 2014, brings the historic Woodward’s Windows displays back for the delight of residents and visitors alike. These important displays are part of Vancouver’s culture, and are iconic pieces of Western Canada’s heritage. The Woodward’s Windows will be displayed along the outdoor Canadian Trail along the West Promenade at Canada Place, adding a magical touch to the city’s holiday décor. For more information about the Woodward’s Windows, or Christmas at Canada Place, visit canadaplace.ca/christmas.

2. Remove duck from the bag and rinse thoroughly. Place the duck legs in an ovensafe cooking vessel. The duck legs should be completely submerged in oil. Place the duck legs in the oven and bake at 225o F for four hours or until the duck becomes fall-off-thebone tender.

3. Remove the duck from the fat and place back at 450o F until the skin becomes golden brown and crispy (10-15 minutes).

CHEF’S NOTES: 1. You can turn the dish into an entrée by adapting the portion size. My family might require two duck legs each, for example.

2. I added Brussels sprouts and grilled white onion to my plate. Feel free to add any kind of vegetable that you like - or none at all.

7. To wrap the wontons: Work with one wrapper at a time, keeping unused wrappers covered with a kitchen towel.

Place one heaping teaspoon of filling in the centre of the wrapper. Moisten the wrapper edges with water and fold in half to form a triangle, enclosing the filling. Bring the two long ends up and over to meet and slightly overlap over the top of the filling. Moisten where the edges overlap with egg white and press together to seal.

8. To assemble the soup: In a saucepan, heat the chicken stock and season with the sugar, soy sauce and sesame oil. At the same time, bring a large pot three-quarters full of water to a boil, salt lightly and add the choy sum.

Boil for one minute; then, using a slotted spoon or tongs, transfer to a bowl and set aside.

9. Drop wonton dumplings into the boiling water. Cook until they float to the top (about three minutes). Using the slotted spoon, scoop out the dumplings and place approximately five wonton dumplings in each bowl. Top with the choy sum and ladle over the hot stock.

2 tbsp peeled and minced fresh ginger

4 soft-shell crabs, cleaned (ask your fishmonger to do this, if you like)

½ cup rice flour

1 avocado, peeled, seeded,

and thinly sliced

1. To make the tempura batter: Put the vinegar, sesame oil, salt and a half cup plus two tablespoons cold water in a bowl and mix well. Put the rice flour, baking soda and baking powder in a separate bowl and whisk to combine. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir gently until smooth.

2. To make the pickles: Put the chilies in a small skillet and set over high heat. Cook, turning occasionally, until lightly charred. Remove from the heat, cool completely, stem and mince.

6. Heat the remaining one-quarter cup oil in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the ginger and cook, stirring constantly, until crisp and browned. Drain on paper towels, season lightly with salt and cool completely. Combine the shallots and ginger in a small mixing bowl and set aside at room temperature.

7. M eanwhile, pour oil to a depth of three inches in a heavy, deep saucepan and heat to 350o F. 8. D redge the soft-shell crab in rice flour, then dip in tempura batter. Put in the hot oil, fry until crisp and golden and drain on paper towels.
