PEAK’S PEOPLE, PLACES AND EVENTS
Is spring finally here?
It is tough to tell what with the fact that we live in the Pacific North-wet.
But next Friday is the first Squamish Bespoke Market of the year. That is a good sign of spring in our community. And yours truly will be there serving Peak Provisions tasty eats. Along with The Wine Syndicate serving delicious wine to pair with our food.
Bespoke Market is a community of passionate makers, creators, artists and so much more.
Shannon Lorenz is the founder of the Bespoke Market. Her passion for community and events that bring people together is incredible.
Shannon is a Squamish local and long-time Sea to Sky event producer and coordinator. It seems only natural that her vision of the Bespoke Market brings so many of us together in one location.
This is a really fun event. Showcasing a selection of vendors from throughout the Sea to Sky corridor (and Vancouver too).
With over 80+ vendors scheduled to be there, I have no doubt the whole family will want to come.
There will literally be something for everyone (even Dad and Grampa).
Check out the link below to see the full vendor lineup.

Saturday, April 29 | 10am - 4pm
Sunday, April 30 | 10am - 4pm
Where - Squamish Railway Museum BC
On Friday evening, from 4 - 9pm, I’ll be at a booth with Jeff from The Wine Syndicate. Be sure to come say ‘Hi’ and keep us company.

Bring on Spring and the Bespoke Market… some sunshine would be awesome too.
PROVISIONS WE LOVE
Plant-based perfection…
One of Vancouver's most popular and delicious vegan restaurants is bringing their items to Peak Provisions counters.
Kokomo founder (and Squamish local) Kaite Ruddell is passionate about healthy vegan food. And she makes it taste bloody amazing as well.
She has created some of the most delicious vegan dishes that will have you craving them weekly (in some cases, daily).
Kokomo has a selection of take-home items that make your mid-week dinners the best. And they are really healthy and good for you on top of their great taste.
Every one of her locations feels like you’re stepping into summer (even in January).
We are unsure if/when to expect the Squamish or Sea to Sky Kokomo location to open…
But at least now we can pick up some of their most popular items here in Squamish.
Laksa Broth
Chickpea Curry
Caesar Dressing
Tahini Dressing
And more…
Let me know if there are any other of Katie’s creations that you would like me to bring into the store. I see her almost weekly at the lunch bar so I’ll be sure to let her know.
In the meantime… come in and stock up on your favourite Kokomo supplies.
AT THE BAR
Pretty excited about this announcement…
Our new spring menu is in full swing and in case you couldn’t tell… I love providing you all with incredible food.
Below are three dishes that I will most likely eat one of (or all three) each day:
Hummus 11
We make this Hummus with love, fresh in-house. We use organic chic peas, bulgar wheat, a touch of smoked paprika and Spanish olive oil. Served with toasted Pita chips and fresh veggies.
It is a perfect item to share or snack on by yourself. One of my all-time favourite dishes without questions
Shaved Spring Salad 14
North Arm Farm is such a magical place in Pemberton. I could go on about my love for them forever… but I’ll save that for another time.
The Shaved salad flavours are exactly how I would imagine Spring should taste.
The freshest vegetables from North Arms Farm are shaved and topped with crunchy toasted sunflower seeds, tangy feta, and a champagne orange vinaigrette. This dish will leave you dreaming about the warmer days and nights to come.
Burrata 16
My love for Burrata is second to none… seriously, it is the best.
We're talking creamy Burrata cheese paired with 16-month-aged prosciutto… (I would eat those two items on their own) Then those two tasty treats get drizzled with honey and balsamic. Finally, sprinkled with citrus salt and basil and served with crispy crostini.
This dish is dangerously good.
Spring is here and we will have all sorts of new and exciting things to share with you in the coming weeks.

Come in and hang out with us at the bar soon.
We’ll be here waiting for you.
