Last night was the first season finale of Chopped Canada and I have to say that the ingredients were quite interesting. In true Chopped style, the first round required contestants to use not only chicken livers, but also watermelon, green onions and dulse (a dried and salty, purple coloured food that is somewhat similar to […]
I didn’t notice this until I browsed J.Crew’s latest pieces where sizes 000 and XXXS are now available in its regular sizing (petites still end at XXSP and 00P). Even as a relatively tiny person, I think it’s getting a bit too crazy. Do women really have such low self-esteem that they need to feel […]
For myself, soup is not only a comforting dish, but what I enjoy most is the room you have to play when cooking a good soup. A simple twist of the wrist with your seasoning can completely change your dish! Currently, I am on a bit of a “curry kick”, specifically yellow curry, I swear […]
Moses Znaimer’s Ideacity is an extraordinary conference. Not only does it have 50 exciting and insightful speakers from a variety of fields, but the speakers themselves become quite engaged in the 3 day event. In fact, many past speakers return to attend the conference annually. Albert Nerenberg hypnotizes select members of the audience “I was […]
Well, at least they weren’t all used in the same round. Chicken skin was up first, along with green beans, prunes and sweet apple cider. I probably would have stuffed the chicken skin with prunes, quinoa and tomatoes, serving it with a bean salad and an apple cider dressing, but that would probably have taken […]

As part of event, select women were invited to ask Martha some questions. DelectablyChic’s own Tara Uzra Dawood was one of them. Here is a snapshot of her […]
I first came across shakshuka at a local Aroma Espresso Bar, an Israeli coffee chain that has been popping up all over Toronto (I know that New York has a few as well, but I think Toronto has more per capita). This egg and tomato sauce dish is delicious, and great for not just breakfast […]
Scrubs in the City is one of Toronto’s most fresh and fun-filled social events. Now in its 13th year, the annual fundraiser has raised a total of more than $2.4 million for SickKids. Guests at the event Some silent auction items These year’s theme was Soirée Under the Stars and net proceeds will support the SickKids Operating Suites Redevelopment […]
I have no words. “Strawberry parfait” (it looked more like a gelatin parfait packaged in a mold, but it was hard to tell. Anyway, it looked gross) was one of the mandatory ingredients in the competition. However, it wasn’t for the first round. In Round One, the chefs had to create a dish using ostrich, […]
