That's it. I am closing the magazine with this beautiful looking Vegan Cheesecake. I hope you enjoyed reading through it and most of all I am hoping you might open it again, one day.
This will be a kind of epilogue. I want to dedicate this first issue (and who knows if I will have the time on my hands again to continue the series) to all my Canadian encounters. My time in Canada was not at all always hearts and candy, and I am incredibly grateful for all the support and opportunities along the way. Beginning with the Marcopoulos and Sabraw family that took me in like a daughter, Patrick Cousineau and all of his team that introduced me to the food industry with the best pies in the world (the fruit pies are also accidentally vegan, by the way). My first true friend Ramona, and her husband Razvan. Syedda and Don, hello baby Kye! Have fun annoying Uncle Mark :) !
I dearely miss the Bridgeland 'Bodega' and all of its great people, Mikala and Sam, Jess, Brendan and Rebekka, Jeremy and Megan, Micha, Connor and Hermosa and our landloard Brian who helped me incredibly whenever there was a problem. Sunni and her Icelandic beats & ballet. Los Czechos, Ondrej up front, you helped made me feel home and understood and you know how to party! Vreekenzie, my true Canadians, I will be back to the 'home'land for your badass wedding!
I want to thank Darren from 'downtownfood' for giving me a job in fine dining with zero experience, helping me to save the money to do a trip like this, Heather for making a few months more tolerable :D and the servers I met here that turned into great friends. Meaghan, Kate, Eloise, Sara especially, I miss you! Furthermore, thanks to Tim and Tess and the great Italian lunches ;) and the biggest hugs to Larry and Denise Scammell, who hired me for just 2 months, and gave me a lot of hours to make the dream of the great North-American roadtrip come ture. You guys rock and are my example for a supportive family! Ryan I love you. Thank you Rene for pimping our ride, twice.
thank you thank you thank you thank you
all the best, Kris
