Spectrum Oils

By emily ⋅ November 23, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

Simply put, Spectrum is passionate about healthy fats. Spectrum started over twenty years ago with the purpose of making healthy oils available to the Canadian public. That commitment and vision hasn’t dimmed one bit. Whether artisan olive oils and trans-fat free spreads, or supplements like Flax Oil and other essential lipids, Spectrum committed to bringing you the best there is.

Canadian company Spectrum Naturals would like to show Canadians how a small change in their cooking habits can add new variety of flavours, to liven up everyday meals. When cooking with oil, most Canadians reach for the olive or vegetable oil. Nothing wrong with that, but by reaching for Coconut Oil, Asian Stir-Fry Oil or Walnut Oil next time, dinners can offer a whole new level of taste.

Toronto Underground Market (TUM)

By Karen ⋅ November 18, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

The Toronto Underground Market (TUM) is a social food market for the community to sample the food of Toronto home cooks. It is a venue for budding entrepreneurs to showcase their products. These vendors are not necessarily chefs, although some will be. This is a new kind of community market; not a farmer’s market, or a food festival, but something completely unique and new to Toronto.

The driving force behind the TUM is my sheer amazement at the wealth of delicious, professional quality food being made in home kitchens. The TUM will provide an opportunity to let the broader community taste this delicious food that would otherwise only be consumed by friends and family.
