Sourcing Local Food in the Dead of Winter
Despite the blustery cold *appearance* of winter, local food is still bountiful…if you know where to find it. Here’s a guide on where to find local food in Toronto throughout the winter, including a listing of winter CSAs, farmers’ markets, and grocery stores.
Chicken Soup for the Sickly Soul
Oh man, was I sick last week. Somehow I managed to have a 24-hr flu at two separate occasions in one week. That’s 48 hours of un-fun-times folks. Once my stomach regained its sense of gravity, it called for something warm, easy to digest, and most importantly, super easy. This one checks off all three.
Local Garlic: Like Mangoes off a Tree
Have you ever been to a tropical country and eaten your favourite tropical fruit, be it pineapple, mango, or banana, and noticed how incredibly awesome it tasted? If you have, the “yum” moment was probably closely followed by an “ah-ha” moment when you realized that the imports we receive here in Canada can’t possibly compare [...]
Sorry about the blog strike
It seems as if my cookie strike inadvertently translated into a blog strike. And a kitchen strike actually too.

Workshopping a Healthy Muffin
I held my first home-based baking workshop last week and the results were sweet…like potatoes!
Local Pancakes / Un-Enlightenment Pancakes
Ok, many people think I’m all about über health all the time. Yeah, okay, so I eat vegetables for breakfast. But that doesn’t mean I can’t have pancakes for dinner. Which is exactly what I did tonight. The perfect antidote for my fatigue, hunger, and day-long crave-fest for all things sugary and carbo-hydrated. It’s funny [...]
Warming Winter Soup
I have to admit, I’m not always sure what to do with a lot of root vegetables. And it being the winter and all, we tend to always have a drawer full of them slowly wrinkling away. Quite the sad state. I thought today that those veggies needed a superhero: someone to accept them for [...]
