About

These cookies were inspired by Daryle Ryo Nagata, executive chef of the Waterfront Centre Hotel in Vancouver. He is a true mixture of East and West, with a Scottish mother and a Japanese father. These cookies make good use of herbs from the hotel’s herb garden and fresh herbs are essential for the best flavour.
