The new menu, which includes succulent dishes like heirloom carrots and sugar snap peas (shaved heirloom carrots, sugar snap peas, hydro bibb lettuce, corn shoots, honey sunflower brittle, crisp spiced chickpeas, […]
Recently, I had the opportunity to attend a food bloggers’ event at Cirrilo’s, a cooking school in Etobicoke. The event celebrated Canadian celebrity chef, Michael Smith’s new video series (who was in attendance), Lentil Hunter, where he travelled to five different countries, trying various lentil recipes. The countries were: France, Italy, India, Dubai and Morocco, […]
This time, the gross ingredients mostly came in the first round, with candied fruit rolls and yellow mustard in the same basket. Nothing against yellow mustard, but it’s just not as good as the grainier kind. Anyway, the contestants, two from Toronto and another two from Calgary, set out to create a starter using those […]

Recently, I decided to give an Italian-inspired meal an East Asian twist. Making meatballs Asian (dim sum) style and serving it with rice and seaweed noodles rather than wheat. This is not a difficult recipe to make. It’s basically a simple meatball recipe, but steamed rather than pan fried or baked. Ingredients: 375 g of […]
The 2014 Toronto Fashion Incubator (TFI) New Labels was held at One King West Monday night, featuring presentations of designs by four finalists. The winner of the contest was Miriam Baker’s AliceAzur, a brand that, according to the program, “specializes in fitting women with a D cup+ bust.” This is interesting to note as I […]
I am honestly not surprised at this. The Montreal-based brand has had issues for years, and bad PR plus the lack of “style” is what caused the Jacob’s downfall. They’ve slowly eliminated brands (they had a girls’ line back in the 80s and 90s, lingerie/lounge wear, as well as Jacob Homme. I think Jacob Homme […]
So after more than a year of opening in Toronto, I’ve finally made my way to Daishō, the Momofuku restaurant located on the third floor of the complex (I went to the Noodle Bar for lunch a couple of months ago) next to the Shangri-La Hotel. For those who are unfamiliar, Daishō’s meals are meant […]
Wait, didn’t they have chicken thighs LAST WEEK? Anyway, it was on the ingredients list again this time (first round), and unlike the previous episode, contestants actually cut the chicken into smaller pieces so that it would cook quicker. Unfortunately, judges were still left with undercooked (and therefor inedible) chicken. Other ingredients in round one […]
I had the opportunity to visit the Kelly Claman/JAC BTQ a pop-up shop earlier this week (despite the horrible rain!). The store, which is located in the Adelaide and Spadina area, will be open until the end of May and features items by designers such as Kain, Whitney Eve and OFF DUTEE, all brands distributed […]
