I bought a fancy electronic peeler today – I thought it would be a good test with almost 75 pounds of apples that I planned to turn into sauce. The apples were fresh out of a cellar and from our tour of Eastern Ontario. It’s almost 11pm as I write this and I am awaiting [...]

Here is an add-on to the previous Street Food post. I was happy to find something in Ontario to share. We visited Prince Edward County for Maplefest yesterday. One of the stops was the Black River Cheese Company and parked outside was the Buddha Dog Airstream Trailer. This pretty much sums up what streetfood should [...]

It’s Sunday night as I write this – still reeling from a 12 hour food odyssey that took Dana and I through some of the most beautiful country we have visited in a long time which was paired with meeting some of the nicest and most passionate foodies we have met a long time. We [...]
Oddest recommendation from a butcher..

We went to the market on Friday. My normal meat man was not in so we ventured a little further south and had a fantastic experience. A friendly butcher recommended about 1 pound of prime rib for person and when he served it up that somehow added to 6.5 pounds for 4 people. I figure [...]

Chef Heston Blumenthal has had a major impact on food – along with Fernan Adria, Herve This and others, he has changed the way that people think of food and widened the possibilities of the gastroimagination by combining science and cooking. Heston’s restaurant in Bray, England has had a tough few weeks – it seems [...]

I have a penchant for discovering myself in new situations and environments and learning all that I can about things which are unknown to me. I love exploring the unknown – it represents growth, learning, passion and so much more to me. My ultimate favorite thing to explore is people – learning from and about [...]
