MISSION INSPIRATIONFarmers’ markets offer

everything from cof-fee, craft beer, music and face paint to high-quality organic fruits and veggies. As a local market shopper, Vancouver chef Ned Bell

gets inspired to create and cook whenever he

wanders through a local farmers’ market. “How can you not be with so many ingredients at the peak of freshness and quality?” he

says. Ned believes there are tons of little things we can do that make big differences. “To me, driving my

Toyota Prius makes a big difference in small ways, every single day.” Toyota B.C. wants to know what inspires you

at your local farmers’ market. Create a dish with ingredients from your local farmers’ market for this

week’s mission and let us know by adding the hashtag #FoodeeApproved to your #gastropost. We’ll feature

some of your ideas in next week’s paper!

MISSION PARTNER: TOYOTA

Ding ding ding! It’s officially the time of year where we ring in the opening of all the wonderful food markets you can take stock of in our fine city. This week, make it your mission to celebrate this fact by sharing a meal using the beautiful ingredients found at farmers’ markets. Perhaps

you’ll share bright produce or a snack from a unique vendor, or maybe you’ll pay a visit to a restaurant that takes pride in cooking only what’s fresh. No matter the

method, make it your mission to show us just how magnificent your local market is.
