The 2014 edition of the Delicious Food Show is only a week away! This delicious, food-related event will feature, as usual, celebrity chefs, how-to workshops and, of course, exhibitors from food/food related brands (and restaurants, too) both large and small – you might even discover a new one as I did last year with Gaga […]
It’ll just be my husband, my parents and me for Thanksgiving this year, so there won’t be a huge turkey with all the fixings. Instead, I’ll be serving turkey breast, which I did two years ago for a smaller gathering. What’s the point of ordering a whole turkey when there’s only four? Sure, I could […]
Celebrity Chef and Chopped Canada judge Susur Lee has decided to compete this year in the the second annual Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation KitchenAid Cook for the Cure Culinary Showdown which will take place on Saturday, November 29, 2014 at the Allstream Centre. Some delicious hors d’oeuvres To mark his participation in the highly anticipated event, Lee […]
Last night was Toronto’s third Diner en Blanc! The weather, once again cooperated and several hundred people, all dressed in white, gathered at Ontario Place for a beautiful dinner in front of the lake. This year’s event was held later than usual – in September rather than late August. In fact, I joked to another […]
My husband and I first went to Sorrel Restaurant last Christmas when it was located on Yorkville Avenue. The dinner we had was excellent and we decided to go for our Valentine’s Day dinner. Sadly, that didn’t happen as the restaurant was a victim of a devastating fire just a few weeks later (we went […]
The Coffee Mill, located on 99 Yorkville Avenue, is closing on September 7. The restaurant has been in the area since Yorkville was a prime hippie spot in the 1960s and offers old school European fare like schnitzel, cabbage rolls and strudel. Until the advent of espresso bars across the city, it was probably one […]
The Grate Canadian Cheese Cook-off to make the PERFECT mac and cheese was held at the Ex yesterday. Contestants, all well known professional chefs from various parts of the country (BC, Nova Scotia, Alberta and Ontario, to be exact) were judged based on criteria such as taste, presentation and originality. Judges included food writers, foodies, […]
UPDATE AS OF AUGUST 26: DEAL IS WORTH $11 B US, BK HQ TO MOVE TO CANADA. It’s pretty much official – Ottawa just has to approve this. Last night, I received an alert from both my Bloomberg and Wall Street Journal apps notifying me that Burger King was in talks to buy donut chain […]
Ahhh….Israeli and other Middle Eastern-inspired cuisines. It’s definitely the latest “it” cuisine here in the city, and like most ethnic cuisines, it isn’t likely a passing fad. I feel that it’s definitely here to stay (because it’s just so good). In my opinion, once a culture’s food rises out of the mom-and-pop, “hole-in-the-wall” restaurants, you’re […]
I can’t believe it took me over one year to have a proper meal at Osteria dei Ganzi, a restaurant on Jarvis Street, near the National Ballet School. The last time I went there was for its media launch in June of 2013, where we had the chance to taste several of their offerings, including […]
