So far I have not yet been to a restaurant where the server would offer wine pairing recommendations based on the food I order - not even at Yew.

In the spirit of trying something new, we started lining up at the very posh looking Jinya Ramen Bar on Robson St.

I present to you a simple but sophisticated seeming (pretentious even) recipe I thought up on the fly - because it is so easy - The Sous Vide Salmon on Cauliflower Purée with Coconut Herb Fried Rice and of course, a fine wine pairing.
