To Sip

Award-winning chef and respected figure in Vancouver, BC’s farm-to-table dining scene, David brought to life well-loved restaurants Farmer’s Apprentice and neighbouring Grapes & Soda. In 2019, he opened Ubuntu Canteen, a neighborhood cafe-restaurant with an ethos rooted in community, sustainability, and regenerative practices, where the menu evolves on a weekly basis to accommodate the season’s freshest local and organic ingredients.

Even if most guests come bearing a bottle of wine, there’s something special about being treated to a cocktail when you arrive at a dinner party. We teamed up with David to bring you the first of four recipes:  the Plum Blossom Spritz.
