Hazelnut Field Roast – A Vegan Alternative for Thanksgiving

With Thanksgiving just a week away for Canadians (and under two months for those of you south of the border), some of you may still be looking for food ideas, especially alternatives to the standard turkey or ham.  Recently, I was invited to a tasting event at Whole Foods Yorkville that included items that were […]

Yes to Fresh: Downtown Toronto Lunch Spot

Yes to Fresh, a not-so-fast food place on King and Jarvis is a mix between Freshii and Sandwich Box.  The menu features sandwiches, salads as well as rice or noodle bowls and diners can pick what they want with their meal via a slip of paper on a clipboard, similar to Freshii (unlike Freshii, there […]

Balzac Coffee on Yonge and Bloor: Coffee, 1, Food, 0

The newest location of Balzac Coffee opened at the Toronto Reference Library on Yonge, just north of Bloor just a little over a month ago and recently, I stopped in for some breakfast.  I’ve been to other Balzac locations before, including a very artsy spot at the Distillery District, so I wasn’t expecting too much […]

Revisiting Hue’s Kitchen on Yonge and Bloor

We first visited this restaurant over two years ago when the site was still called Prospere Magazine.  Things haven’t changed much –  meals are still ordered from a slip (similar to those seen at dim sum restaurants), with a huge range of soup noodles (both rice and wheat based, beef, chicken and vegetarian choices as […]

A Four Course Tasting Menu at Scarpetta Toronto

For my birthday, my husband and I celebrated by having dinner at Scarpetta’s only non-US location.  Scarpetta, which means “little shoe” or that crusty piece of bread used to soak up sauce at the end of the meal is located at the trendy Thompson Hotel.  Founded by celebrity chef Scott Conant, there are also locations […]

Extra Caffeine in Chocolate Keeps You AWAKE

In Grade 10, our science teacher told us why many of us were so tired during afternoon classes.  It was because we had lunch, and during the digestion process, the food turned into sugar and that was what made us sleepy. In school, we weren’t allowed to have caffeine with us in class, so I […]

Dining in Manhattan: Cafe Lalo

While the days of the dial up modem and AOL are now long gone, to many social media obsessed, the late 90s movie, You’ve Got Mail! is seen as the very first movie about online life.  Though it seems that Starbucks was the major “star” when it came to real places (side note: one thing […]

Dining in Manhattan: Eating Italian at Eataly

Eataly is perhaps one of the most interesting foodie spots in New York.  Part market and part restaurant, this 50,000 square foot space, it is the American location of a space of the same name located in Torino, Italy. The New York location has several sit down dining spaces, each specializing in a different type […]
