Oh So Eggsotic
We've outgrown the Easter egg hunt, but getting hopped up on chocolate we're never too old for. Rather than gorge on sickly sweet creme eggs, we're treating ourselves to Thomas Haas.
A recent inductee into the BC Restaurant Hall of Fame, the patissier is a master at making whimsical cocoa creations like flower pots, roadsters with caramel wheels and eggs painted with leopard spots.
We suggest throwing your name in the hat to win one of his enormous edible creations (pictured) or for a guaranteed fix, take home a nest of egg truffles filled with blackberry honey-infused milk chocolate, passion fruit-tinged white chocolate and lavender lychee-flavoured dark chocolate ($5.50).
It's the kind of nest egg you don't sit on.
