Leftover bits and bites Notes on the local restaurant scene plus a reader’s recommendation eggs, turkey, good wishes and good wines, Table K NOWING that readers might be plugged with Easter Hopping staff have gone to the Tasty Morsels file and put together a tray of lighter restaurant industry canapes, ors-d’oeuvre and party snacks for easy digestion.

PEPPI'S RESTAURANT LTD., 150-25th STREET, WEST VAN- COUVER, 922-1414 After 27 years under the culinary guidance of Alfredo and Joseph Verdicchio, Peppi's has officially changed hands. West Vancouver District Council approved a transfer of Peppi’s lease at its March 25 meeting, and, as of April 1, the restaurant will be run by Klaus Fuerniss, Bill Sleeman and john Withers. Fuerniss, the working partner in the restaurant, has an extensive background in five-star European and Canadian hotels. He was also the first general manager of the Vancouver Trade and Convention Centre and the vice-president of Expo 86. While Fuerniss says the Italian tradition of Peppi’s food will be kept intact, the restaurant’s menu will be updated to include more seafood dishes and some lighter entrees that will be consistent with modern palates and cuisines. The restaurant and its new seaside terrace will be open seven days, and Fuerniss says Peppi’s will also be adding a Sunday brunch to its repertoire. Peppi’s is blessed with one of the Lower Mainland’s most beautiful locations. its new own- ership faces the challenge of mak- ing sure Peppi’s food matches the restaurant’s waterfront grandeur.

THE CANNERY SEAFOOD RESTAURANT, 2205 COMMIS- SIONER STREET, VANCOUVER, 254-9606 In celebration of the Cannery's 20th anniversary, the Vancouver seafood restaurant has published the Cannery Book of salmon stories and seafood recipes.

Horseshoe Bay's pioneering Sewell family, which established Sewell’s marina and continues to be a major force in promoting salmon fishing and conservation, is featured prominently in the book in black and white photos sur- - rounded by massive spring salmon and such glitterati as Roy Rogers. The book is both a tribute to B.C.'s rich salmon heritage and the enduring quality of the Can- nery restaurant. READERS’ RECOMMENDA- TIONS: At various times during the year, Table Hopping feature staff will wads into the old Table Hopping mail bag for recommen- dations from readers of what they think are good, perhaps overlook- ed, places to eat on the North Shore.

The friendly laid-back atmosphere sets the mind at ease and serves the digestion well....the food ...is simply scrumptious. The homemade soups and generous- sized sandwiches are truly delicious — not to mention the in-house desserts and muffins....’” Start spreading the news....
