PAMELA DURKIN WRITER: TURNING OVER A NEW LEAF PAGE 62 “I’ve always adored fresh salads but had gotten into a bit of a ‘leaf-rut’—always tending to rely on familiar favourites.

“David Prystay was a memorable subject to photograph, first due to his non-stop sense of humour as he walked me around his lush and vibrant Penticton farm, educating me on all the local animals, wild and domesticated, hoping to find a dead rodent to show me. Also, his total aversion to being photographed made it a fun challenge to try to keep him in one place long enough to get a good shot.” Lia Crowe is a stylist, creative director, photographer and writer.

“I’m a personal fan of Thai food (strictly as a consumer) so it was interesting to see the individual ingredients that go into a Thai dish before being cooked. It was quite fun to organize all those ingredients in to one image and I do love the label on the fish sauce bottle.” Don has photographed numerous high-profile events, including the Olympics, World Hockey Championships and a Royal wedding.
HEIDI FINK WRITER: SALTY, SOUR, SWEET & SPICY PAGE 50
“Thai aromatics are among my absolute favourite ingredients to work with. It was a joy to play around with recipes using them to enhance my other favourite ingredients: local produce.” Heidi Fink is a chef, food writer and culinary instructor, specializing in local foods and ethnic cuisines.

“Summer in the Okanagan. Those words evoke images of lakes and orchards, but for me they also harken to music and wine, outdoor theatre and friends — the ingredients for my perfect summer evening. I’ve selected six from a multitude of events to choose from this summer. I hope you’re able to take it at least one of them, and make special memories that will last a lifetime.” Brenda has been writing for many years, in addition to doing graphic design, book production and fibre arts.
