6) Winter Health, Naturally
(3rd Seasonal Theme)
Winter Health is perhaps even more vital than other seasons. Although it’s always optimal to live a healthy lifestyle, the winter adds the challenge of vitamin depletion; joint aching cold; short, dark days that reduce the call to the outdoors; and an overall reduction in energy that tends to make exercise a novelty rather than a routine. Let some of our locals like The Coastal’s Chef Mark Giffin, and Holistic Nutritionists from Conscious Catering and the Canadian School of Natural Nutrition in Halifax, swirl in on a cold wind with healing advice for your winter health.

It's a treat to eat at The Coastal. You're going for breakfast, but you're getting an experience. There is a tremendous amount of pride that goes into Mark's cooking... and talent! The presentation is clever, and the tastes... intentionally scrumptious! In his recent past he was behind the scenes at Halifax Waterfront's Bish restaurant. He runs his own show now: The Coastal. He states to follow how The Coastal came to be and why he now 'loves' what he does...

Weren’t we tickled to read the cover of The Coast recently to find Chef Mark Giffin’s McCoastal breakfast sandwich on the front cover, the week after we got his “Les Oeufs Hiver” recipe ‘for you’ to enjoy! :-) Chef Mark Giffin is turning brunch into an art (a mouth watering one!) and we’re thrilled to have him as our CRUSISIS Everyday Gourmet for Winter 2010, offering our first ever breakfast recipe! Admittedly, although everything is made form scratch, this recipe is still a bit rich. But we chose it since it was delish’ AND you can get all the ingredients and winter vegetables you need to make it by walking down to the market.
