What is more tantilizing than watching the Food Network all day long?  Well, if you guessed viewing the imaginative creations from Chef Hamid Salimian then you are probably right.

Chef Hamid is argueably one of the top chefs in Vancouver if not all of Canada.  Reviews in the Globe and Mail, inclusion on Culinary Team Canada's roster and positions at some of the top hotel restaurants  in Canada are the accolades all  familiar for Chef Hamid.  Add some stunning imagery to the mix and you will understand that creating a website for Chef Hamid was one of the most difficult sites to create (I kept slipping on the pool of saliva under my desk).

Chef Hamid wanted a website that would document the food that he creates and give oppportunity for aspiring chefs to recreate some of the components in the photos.  Chef Hamid takes his own photos and I have to say they look like a Professional Food Photographer took them.  Click HERE and click on 'The Gallery' to see what I am talking about.  He also wanted to start a food blog in which he will write about his experiences and offer some tips for those wanting to enter food competitions. 

We tried something different.  The main navigation roles to each section without the need for Flash - so it does work on your iPhone - as the header stays the same.   The footer is a 3-dimensional work of art featuring the spices and ingredients familiar to Chef Hamid.

Take a look through the site!  Click HERE!  I have personally tried the Pickled Beets and the Pine Nut Puree (I substituted Chickpeas due to a nut allergy) and I highly recommend both.  Once you have been tantilized by the photos take a stroll (better drive) to Richmond to visit Chef Hamid at the Apron located in the Westin Wall Center Hotel.  Click HERE for directions and to contact Chef Hamid.
