August 31, 2015 Monthly Recaps I basically spent this month trying to catch all my favourite fresh summer fruits before they vanished for the season, but here’s what I was up to in the meantime: How is it possible that I had never been to Wvrst before this month? I’m not quite sure. I organized […]

August 2, 2015 Baked Sunday Mornings Today we’re celebrating Martha Stewart’s birthday with a classic yellow cake/chocolate icing combination from Baked Occasions. Matt has a deep love for Martha which he writes about in the book, and while I wouldn’t consider myself a disciple, I can appreciate her domestic goddess-ness and attention to detail. This […]

Photo from Food Network Website Straight to the Quickfire this week everyone, and I have to say I’m pretty excited there’s only one more episode left after this. Lisa’s in the Top Chef Kitchen with Mark Thuet and his business/life partner Biana. They own Petit Thuet (Real Talk: the macarons I bought there ages ago […]

March 20, 2018 Beef & Pork I had my first encounter with Beef Bourguignon around the time I started this blog back in 2010. I had just watched Julie & Julia, and so like every other food blogger newbie, I attempted Julia Child’s recipe that Julie Van Rosendaal adapted for the slowcooker (read about that […]

March 27, 2012 Top Chef Canada It’s a episode full of pregnant ladies this week, with our Season 1 host Thea back for this episode.

June 21, 2018 Cocktails Last Summer, I was obsessed with Frosé, and documented my trials extensively here. By the time I figured out the best way to make it, Summer was over and I had no use for my new skills. Well, Summer’s back in full effect and I only have one goal*: TURN EVERY […]

November 30, 2015 Monthly Recaps This month started with a trip to London, which I will write about soon, and was obviously the highlight of the month (and year!). We almost don’t need a separate recap for November, except for a couple special things (coughFRINGScough): Back in September, Drake surprised us all with the grand […]

August 10, 2015 Salads For a long time I have had a very real, very negative reaction to strawberries and goat cheese in salad. This stems, no doubt, from my aversion to Milestone’s, which I have explained at length in the past. They had* a salad with this combination on the menu in the early-mid […]

August 2, 2018 Cakes, Cupcakes & Icing Do you remember the book Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See? I totally remember reading this as a kid, and it still holds up today, because it’s one of my friend Francis Levi’s favourite books! Francis’ mom, my friend Nicole, asked me to make a Brown […]

March 22, 2018 Bread Let’s recap this Oscar feast so far, shall we? First up was our red carpet snack, the Goat Cheese Spread with Garlic & Fresh Herbs. Then, the star dish, Beef Bourguignon, accompanied by My Favourite Mashed Potatoes and my house salad (kale, apple, parm, pecans and a honey dijon vinaigrette). Since I […]

This month was relatively quiet leading up to a quick road trip to Cleveland at the end of the month to see Jay-Z & Beyonce’s On The Run II Tour! I have a few recommendations should you ever find yourself there: First up: Mabel’s BBQ. I heard about this on the House of Carbs podcast, […]

I’ve been slowly emerging from my winter hibernation, and had an excellent month of eating, both out and in, during March. I felt like I was back on my blogging game, so you’ve already read about what was going on in my kitchen. Here’s what else was happening: March kicked off with the Oscars, and […]
