Celebrity Chef captivates our city with his Conscious way of eating. If you had asked me five years ago about attending a workshop focused on vegetarianism, I would have thought twice about it before even considering it. Now a days it would be a hard thing to refuse because, in all honesty, after all the [...]

This assignment was quite ambitious.  “You get to go to two events on the same night!”  Wow!  How great is that?  Cool factor, pretty high up there.  Entertainment value: mid-range.  Actual experience: not so great.  This is how it all went down… According to my scheduling, this was the plan…

When you hear bone marrow, tongue or brain, the word “food” probably isn’t the first thing that comes to mind. The Black Hoof is a restaurant that specializes in charcuterie and other not-so-popular animal parts. It’s not a place for vegetarians, weak stomachs, and definitely not if you’re squeamish (well, squeamish in the sense of [...]

A couple of months ago I was fortunate enough to have gotten invited to attend a theatrical performance called A Taste of Empire. A Taste of Empire is a solo performance by Jovanni Sy (actor/writer/amateur chef), where he told stories of conquests, imperialistic desires and colonialism while preparing a Filipino dish in real time.

If you’re looking for a high-quality coffee experience, as well as light-as-air crepes, you need to check this place out.  Krepesz is located at 253 Augusta Ave., right in the heart of Kensington Market.

Kenzo Ramen has served North Toronto for many years, their location at Yonge and Steeles pulling in steady and loyal business.  However, just last year they decided to pack up shop and move their japanese noodles to just west of Dundas Square, a perfect location as its within walking distance from Ryerson University, the hospital [...]

My cousin Jocelyn told me about Böehmer restaurant on Ossington after she saw a review of this restaurant on TV not long ago.  At first, I wasn’t overly excited about this place because there are so many “to-try” restaurants out there already.  It wasn’t until I walked passed this stunning restaurant on a warm summer [...]

Whenever people ask me where they can find good gelato in Toronto, Dolce always comes to mind.  I’m sure if you’ve ever been to Little Italy during a warm summer evening, you will see a huge lineup at Dolce even when there’s another gelato place just down the street.  Is it worth the wait, you [...]

What we love about these warm summer days is that we can enjoy some good ol’ outdoor eating on the patio and to every good meal there’s always a great sidekick something healthy and tasty like a great dressing, sauce, and hummus! Hummus is high in iron, vitamin C, and also has significant amounts of [...]
