The mystery ingredients in the main course basket for this past weekend’s episode were: crab meat, pesto, mini pizza calzones and alfalfa sprouts. It sounds a little bit weird, but it can work. The crab meat and calzones can be broken down, mixed together and used as a stuffing for the chicken, while the alfalfa […]

The Knockoff by Lucy Sykes (she’s Plum Sykes’ twin) and Jo Piazza and narrated by Katherine Kellgren centres around Imogen Tate. Imogen is the 40-something editor-in-chief of Glossy, a fashion magazine and […]
Many old favourites are back, including Trevor Kitchen + Bar, La Société, Sassafraz and One. Lee and Bent are also on the list, Luckee is not. Also missing is the restaurant at the Drake Hotel. Perhaps they’re just sitting this one out and will be back for Winterlicious 2016. Who knows? Prices remain the same […]

I want it all when it comes to my […]

Maple fudge was one of the items in the main course basket, along with soft pretzels, chili fries and corn on the cob. So what should one make with that? Why not pulled maple turkey over pretzel and fries cake? Topped with corn and kale salad? Maple fudge – would you use it for a […]
From delicious breakfast items like shakshuka (I had my first there!) to soups (always comes with delicious baked-in-store bread), sandwiches and salads to their wide range of caffeinated drinks and pastries, Aroma Espresso Bar is one of my favourite places to grab brunch or lunch. In fact, this Israeli-based eatery is popping up all over […]
