Pedi for a Cause, featuring Barefoot Wine and Bubbly was held at Arta Gallery in the Distillery District in Toronto. In addition to the wine, there were delicious (and sometimes, unusual) appetizers from Daniel et Daniel such as truffle popcorn on green beans as well as a rosemary waffle with chicken and pickled cabbage, the […]
This past weekend, relatives from many cities, including Hong Kong, Singapore and New York gathered in Toronto for a big reunion. It was four nights of dinners (plus one luncheon hosted by yours truly) featuring three nights of Asian food (two nights of Chinese and one of Chinese inspired Japanese) and one catered by DelectablyChic!

The Gourmet Food and Wine Expo has ended for another year and it was definitely another year of success for them, judging from the massive crowd that was in attendance on Friday night. In fact, the crowd was so big that it was pretty difficult to navigate from station to station, meaning that it was […]
