Paris is without any doubts a very special city. Even with a week of crappy weather it can be charming. For food lovers it is totally overwhelming.  There is a tonne of French bistros that will serve somewhat ordinary food. But one thing I’ve never been disappointed about in Paris are the sweets. You can get a [...]

This year my family decided to take a little getaway to the Okanagan. Although I haven’t spent much time in the Okanagan, I am very familiar with the reputation the area has for being renowned for it’s vineyards and amazing wineries. One day last week my Mom, Dad, partner Brendan and I piled into the [...]

Lately, I’ve been really craving my favourite thing to eat – Chinese food. I love it. I could have chow mein, sweet and sour pork and Chinese vegetables every day of my life. I would even be happy about it. When I think about my favourite foods, I think of more savoury, meal type dishes [...]

This Spring the Toronto social scene is fawning all over the cocktail. Now Magazine featured the subject on their cover with their rendition of the city’s top 10 recently; the LCBO designated a sub-site to the traditional recipes and appreciation of early cocktail culture (notably influenced by the success of the Manhattan-friendly “Mad Men”); and [...]

In that mega playground for adults, there is everything you need to fulfill many spheres of pleasure and good food is one of them.  All the major chefs in North America have a joint in Vegas and even some Europeans Michelin star chefs are present. Of course, you won’t find them in the kitchen but they are behind [...]
