A few weeks ago, DelectablyChic! was invited to a cooking demonstration courtesy of a public relations firm to learn more about Panasonic’s new suite of cooking appliances that include an induction cooktop and built-in convection oven. The event was held at The Richmond, an event space in the Richmond and Spadina area of the city […]
Celebrity chef, Mark McEwan, launched his campaign, Dine & Discover, which raises funds for research at Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre at his restaurant, North 44 on Tuesday. This was a cocktails and dinner party featuring speakers such as Dr. Michael Julius, Vice-President of Research at Sunnybrook Research Institute as well as Mark McEwan himself. The […]
This past weekend, relatives from many cities, including Hong Kong, Singapore and New York gathered in Toronto for a big reunion. It was four nights of dinners (plus one luncheon hosted by yours truly) featuring three nights of Asian food (two nights of Chinese and one of Chinese inspired Japanese) and one catered by DelectablyChic!

The Gourmet Food and Wine Expo has ended for another year and it was definitely another year of success for them, judging from the massive crowd that was in attendance on Friday night. In fact, the crowd was so big that it was pretty difficult to navigate from station to station, meaning that it was […]
The Gourmet Food & Wine Expo, held once again at the Metro Convention Centre, is back for another year with a VIP evening this Thursday and will open to the public Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Once again, the event will feature delicious foods from various restaurants and food companies across the country as well as […]
The annual Taste Canada Food Writing Awards Gala was held at the Arcadian Court, Queen Street yesterday. This ceremony honours food writers in four categories, in both our official languages (in other words, four categories in English and the same again, in French): Culinary Narratives, General Cookbooks, Cultural/Regional Cookbooks and Single Subject Cookbooks. The event […]
I recently returned from a short stay in Paris. The thing I like most about Paris is its consistency- there are some things that will just never change. The beautiful old structures will always remain, Parisians will always smoke like chimneys (despite the indoor smoking ban!), and the food will be just as good as […]
There are those who believe that classics should remain classics and no one should make changes to them, especially when it comes to food. If done carefully enough, twists can be a good thing, especially if it is properly named (i.e. not like the Brad Pitt Chanel ad I discussed yesterday). In fact, I think […]
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 […]
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 […]
