Foodists is a collective of like-minded food worshippers. We breathe and sleep in order to eat and drink. Have something to share with us? We'd love to hear from you. If it's something to eat or drink, even better.
An afternoon with some of Vancouver’s most innovative, inspiring, and creative minds who work with food to innovate, unite, and create change.

How many pumpkin pie posts are too many? None I say! Especially when it’s Thanksgiving time again in Canada! A few years back I wrote about how I attempted to make pumpkin pie the old fashion way, and in the end…
