Email us a recent photograph of your view with the estimated time and place to andrew [at] scoutmagazine.ca and we’ll add it to our growing collection. Cell phone shots are fine if they are at least 1600px wide.

    On 17 Years of Teaching (and Feeding) Proper Thai Cuisine, with Pailin Chongchitnant

    It's been a full decade since the Vancouver-based Thai chef/educator released her first cookbook, "Hot Thai Kitchen". So when Scout had the opportunity to interview Pailin to coincide with the publication of the cookbook's anniversary edition, we didn't hesitate to take it.

    On Happy Toasters, Hamburger Phones and Appliance-Appreciation, with Morgan Noll

    If you haven't already paid a visit to Slice of Life Gallery to check out 'General Electric: Digital Portraits of Soft Electronics', Noll's first art exhibition - and you too dig "the design sensibilities of the 60s + 70s and want to stare lovingly into the shiny plastic of kitchen appliances" - then consider the pressure ON.

    From Food as a “Catalyst for Connection” to the Magic of Cats, with Franz Seachel

    The brand new "multidisciplinary arts space focused on wellness through the arts", located in the Railtown neighbourhood, is part retail shop, part venue, and aiming to be wholly accessible. From what we know so far, we love what this community hub is all about. Find out even more in our new interview its founder.

    Talking 10,000-Year-Old Clay, Campfire Tacos, and Anti-Capitalist Wildfires, with Liz Toohey-Wiese

    Currently on sabbatical from her teaching job, when we recently caught up with the artist and educator, she had just wrapped up a solo painting exhibition, and was preparing for a two-month-long stint at The FEELed LAB in Vernon...Fortunately, she had a bit of spare time to share what she’s been up to in the studio and around BC, before hitting the road.
