Inside: Kerrisdale Lumber Kerrisdale Village Farmers Market Sweet E’s Pastries and Sweets

www.KerrisdaleInsider.com

June 15 - August 31, 2015

Publisher’s Note On the cover is Travis, a farmer from Forstbauers Farm in Chilliwack, who sells his produce at several farmers markets. In this issue we celebrate the Vancouver Farmers Markets’ 20th anniversary. Kerrisdale Village Farmers Market is still relatively young as it enters its 5th season. The market is a place to enjoy fresh local food and community spirit.

Kerrisdale residents can look forward to the Corn Festival on August 15 and Seniors’ Day on September 5.

Hello, summer! Kerrisdale has so much going on during the sun-filled months ahead.

Beautiful Elm Park offers lawn bowling, tennis and field sports. What better way to cool down than a wade in Maple Grove Pool? It opens for the season on June 20. This is also an excellent place to hang out for a picnic.

In July, enjoy musical evenings by the pool every Friday night (6:30-7:30 p.m.). Kerrisdale Play Palace (located inside Kerrisdale Arena) is a fun indoor option for the kids. Children eagerly await summer break, and some mark the conclusion of their school years with high school graduation. Spring sports and other activities wind up for another season.

We are delighted to share two more Kerrisdale business success stories: Kerrisdale Lumber is 94 years old and going strong. Read about Mark Perry’s family business and the story behind their logo featuring a man standing beside a horse and wagon.

Father’s Day is June 21 so plan to celebrate with brunch at a local restaurant or bring dad a special treat home from Benton Brothers Fine Cheese or Gem Chocolates. If he likes clothing, treat him to a gift from Andy Trott’s Menswear or Hills of Kerrisdale. Buchan’s Kerrisdale Stationery has greeting cards, party supplies and unique gifts. The Perfect Gift has jewellery for dad. How about a round of golf at McCleery Golf Course? Look in the directory at the back of this magazine for a variety of wonderful options.

Sisters Eleanor, Kathleen and Theresa Tsang opened Sweet E’s Pastries and Sweets 10 years ago and they are still creating delectable goodies ranging from bite size pastries to delicious cakes. When I was there recently I had the pavlova and I am hooked on this summertime favourite!

Whether you choose to dine on a restaurant patio, invite friends over, explore the neighbourhood by bike, or sit in your garden and appreciate the flowers, take advantage of the outdoors and enjoy this most loved season.

As you are shopping in the village this summer, enjoy Concerts Under the Clock on Saturday afternoons brought to you by the Kerrisdale Business Association. Check out the Kerrisdale Farmers Market on Saturdays.

Kerrisdale Village Farmers Market:

Bringing the Community and Vendors Together Story by Sarah Gordon producers that simply can’t be made at the grocery store. Ask vendors what they recommend, or even how to prepare a veggie that you may be unfamiliar with. They are more than happy to converse. Select a new fruit or veggie and give it a whirl! Choose an apple you may not have seen before, or give kabocha squash a try. At the same time you can feel good about directly supporting the vendors, and B.C.’s economy.

I confess, I have a soft spot for farmers markets. I love to attend them locally and when I travel to other towns I like to seek them out to get an instant connection to the community. Seven years ago I helped found an independent market and spent four fulfilling months volunteering every Sunday to help ensure its success.

Markets combine two things I really enjoy, fresh food and community spirit. At farmers markets you see people from all walks of life come together to shop locally, and partake in a fun forage for food.

Ron Braunagel, Kerrisdale’s market manager, points out that attending this market provides an opportunity for people of all ages and cultures to get out and mingle with community members they might not otherwise have a chance to meet.

I have attended many of the Vancouver Farmers Markets and have seen them evolve over the years, beginning in the mid 1990s with the mini Trout Lake Market, which is now super-sized and thriving, to the relatively young Kerrisdale Village Farmers Market which is celebrating its fifth season.

He says, “It’s a way for people to connect with those who share similar interests, whether they are wine lovers, people who love to can and preserve, or people who just love to talk about food!”

If you have not yet visited the Kerrisdale Village Farmers Market there are a multitude of reasons to give it a try. Fruits and vegetables can be the same price or lower when you buy direct from the farmer – and as an added bonus, you get to know the grower and where your food is coming from.

Personal connections can be made with food 10

berry seconds may not be “pretty” but they are ideal for making preserves. Or buy in bulk and share the bounty with a friend.

2015 marks Vancouver Farmers Markets’ 20th anniversary. Special edition merchandise sporting the iconic tomato logo ranging from bamboo t-shirts to bags, water bottles, wooden crates, umbrellas and tea towels is being sold to celebrate this milestone event.

Show your support and pick up an item, or buy it as a gift for a food-loving friend.

Robyn Walters, VFM’s West Side district manager, says the East Boulevard location, next door to the Kerrisdale Arena, offers plenty of shade on a hot sunny day and is an ideal spot to host the market. Both vendors and shoppers love the spot as it is situated so close to nearby businesses. It is a natural fit to do your Saturday shopping and combine it with a walk around the market.

Weekly entertainment is also on the menu at Kerrisdale Village Farmers Market. Live music performed by local musicians inspires spontaneous market place dancing by people of all ages. Once a month families will be pleased to discover face painters and balloon twisters on site, and weekly you will find a supervised Kids’ Zone with little tables stocked with chalk and bubbles for some extra market time fun.

Walters describes Kerrisdale Village Farmers Market as “the little brother of the Saturday markets,” so if you are not keen on the big crowds of some of the other weekend Vancouver Farmers Markets, this is the place for you.

Each Vancouver Farmers Market is unique and has special events programming to fit the community. Kerrisdale residents can look forward to the Corn Festival (August 15) and Seniors’ Day (September 5).

Grab your shopping bags or market basket and walk, cycle or drive (there is plenty of parking in the area) to explore this wonderful asset in the heart of Kerrisdale Village.

Here you will find produce, bread, sweet treats, prepared food, plants, flowers and crafts made by talented local artisans. You will also find food trucks and a coffee truck to fight off hunger and caffeine pangs while you shop. Some vendors have regular schedules and you can find them every Saturday, others will make surprise visits, so you never know quite what you will find from week to week – and that adds up to shopping excitement.

Kerrisdale Village Farmers Market takes place each Saturday from June 13 through October 10 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. You can count on finding as many as 30 to 40 vendors there each week. www.eatlocal.org/markets/kerrisdale

A trip to a farmers market is like a treasure hunt. You never know exactly what you will stumble across, and it can make for some very spontaneous and delicious meals.

Here’s a little tip from the Vancouver Farmers Market pros: consider buying in bulk and you may save a little more money. Talk to a farmer and inquire if they sell seconds. For example, June 15 - August 31, 2015

Kerrisdale Lumber:

94 Years Old and Going Strong Story by Sarah Gordon Photos by Sandra Steier

In 1992 Tremayne’s son, Mark Perry, followed his father’s footsteps and became the company’s president. He has been actively involved with the day-to-day operations for the past forty years.

There is a story behind Kerrisdale Lumber’s logo featuring a man standing beside a horse and wagon. The gentleman is Bert Perry, and he was responsible for paving the way for two subsequent generations of the Perry family to carry on his legacy.

Kerrisdale Lumber had been operating for a few years when Bert bought the store from his employer in 1931. Bert had been the store’s first and only employee. The original location was at West 40th Avenue and West Boulevard. In the 1930s the shop moved to its present location. At that time four other lumberyards were also operating in the area.

Mark recalls Kerrisdale Lumber being a great place to play as kid. He was given odd jobs like sweeping and was paid a small amount for his work. Like his father and grandfather, he has always lived in the area.

In 1948 Bert’s son Tremayne Perry joined Kerrisdale Lumber. He started out as a yardman piling lumber and driving a truck, and eventually worked his way up to manager.

In 1964 Bert retired, leaving Tremayne to run the business.

was done to modernize it. In the 1990s the building was given a heritage style renovation to celebrate its rich history.

When asked how he would describe his business Mark says, “it is a hardware store, building supply and lifestyle improvement store.”

This area of the store has grown due to its popularity. Mark says it makes the store feel funkier than a traditional hardware store. He indicates, “It took awhile for contractors to wrap their heads around this concept, but the masculine and feminine sides co-exist well now.” An added perk, male customers can simultaneously shop for a gift for their partner!

You may not equate home decor with a hardware and building supply store; however, 12 years ago Mark and his team realized more women than men were coming in for hardware. They cleverly responded by bringing in products that would be attractive to female shoppers.

Lyle Perry, Mark and Alejandra’s son, is the company’s vice-president of operations. He came on board one year ago after earning a master’s degree in business administration.

Mark says, “He brings a fresh set of eyes to the job” as he had not previously worked with his father.

Mark credits his wife Alejandra Perry’s eye for design. When their children were grown she joined Kerrisdale Lumber as the home decor purchaser and was given the task of creating a new department.

If you are looking for a way to spruce up your home or find a gift it may very well be at Kerrisdale Lumber.

contractors. Mark says, “It has been a welcome surprise to win over customers from larger lumber distributors. We have done so by offering outstanding service and very fair prices on commodity items.” He mentions that they have found a niche by carrying a high quality grade of wood, which has endeared them to a number of clients.

extremely proud of the people he works with.

Many of his staff have been with the company for a very long time, ranging from 15 to 40 years. Some employees started working part-time during high school and have never left. “It is satisfying to see them marry and succeed by buying their first house,” Mark says.

With record setting months for new builds on Vancouver’s Westside, many local projects are purchasing lumber, plywood and reinforcing bar due to convenience and pricing.

As a proud local Mark loves the area. Yes, he admits, there have been a lot of changes, but he believes, change is a good thing. He concludes, “Kerrisdale is a lovely spot in one of the most beautiful cities in the world.

Kerrisdale will survive and flourish as it always has.”

In addition to lumber and home decor the lifestyle improvement division of the store is also excelling. Mark points out that barbeques are a huge part of their business. He says, “Outdoor kitchens are a fast growing trend.”

Sweet E’s Pastries and Sweets: A Family Affair

Story by Sarah Gordon Photos by Sandra Steier that their children needed a balanced life. As a result, their four children (the Tsang sisters also have an older brother) were exposed to dance and music, and in turn their parents led by example. Their father pursued calligraphy and their mother was interested in Chinese brush painting.

The Sweet E’s sisters’ humour and energy is as appealing as the treats they create in their sweet smelling bakery. Eleanor, Kathleen and Theresa Tsang admit that all have their sibling moments, however, this dynamic trio is so connected that they seamlessly complete each other’s sentences. Not only do they work together, they also share a house.

For as long as any of them can remember Eleanor had always been interested in cooking. She was a big fan of television cooking shows long before the Food Network came along. In fact, she laughs when she recollects watching Graham Kerr’s “The Galloping Gourmet.”

Eleanor is the bakery’s pastry chef. She trained at the Pallisades Hotel and alongside Vancouver chef, Lesley Stowe. Kathleen comes from the world of museums and Theresa is a long-time Vancouver Opera stage manager. Merging three artistic backgrounds has its merits as their collective talent shows up in their edible creations. Kathleen is the manager and largely works in the storefront, while Theresa lends a hand in the kitchen when she is not consumed with an opera.

When asked how they all ended up in artistic careers they say their parents were influential.

Their father was a doctor and their mother was a pharmacist and they strongly believed 26

In 2005, Eleanor’s younger sister (Theresa) and older sister (Kathleen) banded together to support her dream of owning and operating a “cosy contemporary” bakery. The search took nearly two years to find the perfect location. The Tsangs were determined to find a space that was not only the right size, but also centrally located. They wanted Sweet E’s to become a destination bakery, and indeed customers do travel in from White Rock and North Vancouver for their sugar fix.

essential businesses close by including the pharmacy, liquor store and green grocer.

Many of their clients are locals, and they are very familiar with some who come in several times a week to purchase muffins and cookies.

Not only are the pastries and sweets visually beautiful, they are also original. Eleanor has made many recipes her own. Instead of spotting a lemon meringue pie in Sweet E’s display case, you will find one of their most well loved creations – the lemon meringue cake. The carrot cake is another crowd pleaser.

The team works long 12-hour days, five days a week. Over time the bakery has evolved from creating time consuming custom cakes to focussing their efforts on smaller bite size pastries – but have no fear, you will find a good selection of four and six inch cakes and tarts in the display case (special orders for larger size cakes are available on request).

Sweet E’s is known for its fresh fruit pavlova which is only available during the summer when berries are available. Strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, blueberries and chocolate cherries play starring roles when they are in season.

It is a small family business and everyone helps out. Kathleen chimes in, “no one escapes.”

Even their mother is actively involved. She has become the resident expert in making mini tart shells, which she rolls and presses.

Her daughters have lovingly nicknamed her “Tartomatic.”

To get your bearings, Sweet E’s Pastries and Sweets is located next door to the Red Onion restaurant on West 41st Avenue. It is an excellent block for shoppers with so many

chocolate wafts through the air.

When pavlova exits the stage the Northern Spy apple pie makes its grand entrance in the autumn. They discovered this little known apple at the UBC Apple Festival and while it is not an aesthetic beauty it has a winning taste and is perfect for baking.

Their customers are loyal. Over the 10 years they have been in business they have witnessed children who used to come in with a parent now grown up and able to drive on their own to the bakery. They recall little children being sent into the shop while their parents waited outside so that they could learn how to select and pay for their purchase.

At Christmastime, in addition to assorted seasonal tasty treats, Sweet E’s proudly offers a two-bite fruitcake. The sisters say fruitcake has its share of followers. If you don’t care for it, perhaps you have not tasted a good one.

This delectable morsel is the perfect addition to a Christmas cookie platter. Sweet E’s has also taken artistic license with the mincemeat tart by introducing cranberries and cherries to the recipe.

On the weekends Sweet E’s brings in freshly baked bread from Batard Boulangerie located in east Vancouver. Year round they sell Christopher Brown’s (owner of Batard) award winning marmalades. Attention marmalade fans: “The Bitter End” single malt whiskey Seville marmalade won the 2015 gold medal at the Marmalade Awards in England.

A bakery is a happy place, and often involves celebrations. The smell makes people happy.

Theresa laughs when she mentions having seen customers sniffing their way along W. 41st towards Sweet E’s when the aroma of

The three sisters enjoy Kerrisdale for its hometown feel. They appreciate walking down the street and recognizing people.

Kathleen chuckles and says, “It has a King of Kensington” feel. If you need a refresher, watch the YouTube clip to see the opening street scene and you may very well agree!
