Growing up in British Columbia, as a little girl I loved watching the Canadian TV series “The Beachcombers”, set and filmed on the Sunshine Coast of B.C. My dad, a business man and bush-pilot once flew the main character, Canadian celebrity and actor Bruno Gerussi in his float plane up the coast. I cherish the black bear stuffed animal that Mr Gerussi left with me one night while I slept. So you could say these bites are a tribute to the Beachcombers and my west coast roots.
