Great balls of Fire – Dragon Fruit
Posted in Fruit, tagged dragon fruit, fruit, healthy eating, kiwi on April 30, 2009 | 2 Comments »
Although I consider myself to be very open minded, I find that it’s the oddest things that I can struggle eating. Tripe? Gizzard? Heart? Brain? Tongue? No problem. A new fruit?

The more I learn about beer, the more I know I have yet to learn. The statement “I don`t like beer” once made sense to me – however it makes less sense as I learn more and more about beer from around the world. We live in a day and age that makes sampling the [...]

I went to the 17th annual Good Food Festival and Market this weekend at the International Center (near the Airport in Toronto`s west end). My Father and I thought it was our first time at the event until we walked the halls of the show and had a feeling of deja vu and think we [...]

I have so much respect for those who work so hard creating food for our tables. My brief insight into the lives of farmers, fishermen (and women) and those who support them is one that leaves me doubting that I do what they do. long hours, unpredictable yields and pricing are made more complicated by [...]
Infused vinegars from Niagara

There was a long time in my life that I didn’t think much about vinegar – it was something that came from a bottle and I considered it to be something manufactured as opposed to crafted. Vinegar is much closer to wine and beer than the commodity I considered it to be and, at it’s [...]

This post is brief but may be one of the most useful ones we’ve shared in some time – we’ve spent some time compiling the expected harvesting seasons of fruit and veg that are commonly pickled and preserved in Ontario. This chart is based on estimates for Ontario and can vary from year-to-year and your [...]

A new event on the Toronto Food scene snuck past many last summer – a small one-day event focused on creating a single table that would sit 500 people (it was very long) and brought the best chefs in Toronto together to provide $5 samples for the public. Luminato is a festival that greets Torontonians in [...]
