Local Recipes That Are Unique And Outstanding
Recipes.
They are a dime a dozen.
You can find them everywhere, in books, in newspapers, in magazines and of course, on the internet.
But there is a problem.
A lot of them are alike. There is nothing different and unique about them.
But all is not lost.
If you are looking for something different, you can find it right here in Vancouver.
It is a food blog with the unlikely name of, Everybody Likes Sandwiches.
But the blog is anything but about sandwiches.
Its motto is - an uncomplicated journal about food...not just sandwiches.
How true.
