The One of a Kind Show kicked off Thursday at the EnerCare Centre (formerly known as the Direct Energy Centre) at Exhibition Place. For those of us looking for holiday items, especially items to add to the tree (or, if you’re like me, for the tree – my tree doesn’t go up until the first […]

Cookies: A New Kind of Dessert Bar at The Red Bench
I recently had the pleasure to speak with Elie, one of the owners of Toronto’s newest cookie, tea and froyo bar, The Red Bench, located on Yonge, south of Bloor. The name, The Red Bench, was inspired by an actual red bench near co-owner (and Elie’s wife) Deena’s home in Paris, France. According to Elie, […]
Matzoh, Lamb and Tabouli: Some Easter and Passover Dinner Photos
I don’t typically share personal dinner photos that take place in my home, but I thought I’d show readers what I made over the long weekend. My husband is a non-observant Jew and I’m a lapsed Catholic who was educated in an Anglican girls’ school (I guess I’m an unofficial lapsed Anglican). However, despite not […]
Brunch at MoRoCo Chocolat in Yorkville
I have to admit that I love brunch. Whether it be fancy at a hotel or super-casual at a greasy diner, it’s almost always great. Recently, my husband and I stopped by MoRoCo Chocolat (Mo and Ro stand for Montana and Rory, children of the owners, and the “Co” is, of course, chocolate) in Toronto’s […]

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 […]

Creating Perfect Cupcakes
Cupcakes are always a popular treat. They are delicate, cute, and can be made in almost any flavour that can be imagined. Although I usually like to keep the cake flavours pretty basic- vanilla or chocolate are best- the frosting is an excellent vehicle for fun flavours and interesting colours. Basic buttercream can be coloured […]
