Last night was one of the biggest night of my year. I got to visit with Byron (whom Dana jokes is my cheese boyfriend) and we planned the cheese trays for the holiday season – if you missed the tips on buying holiday cheese you can see why I do this here. Buying cheese for [...]

We have posted a lot of text-rich posts recently – so it’s time for a photo post. Hope you enjoy – it was a lovely Saturday! We started at the market at the BrickWorks: From there it was off the the St Lawrence Market:

My Mother (aka Me Mum) is from Nova Scotia. Long cold winters gave way to wet cold springs. Wet cold springs gave themselves to the spring bounty and wild Fiddleheads are a spring tradition of the east coast (and increasingly around the world). These lovely creatures (who got their name after the scroll of a [...]
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 [...]

You’d have to wake up around midnight in order to gather your stock, pack your wares, and head down the road from Port Perry (about 60-70 minutes away). Your aim is to get to the market by [...]

Today’s post is about Vacherin Mont D’Or - a glorious cheese from Switzerland that is available once per year – right around Christmas. It is from Switzerland, made in the Jura mountain region and the foothills below named the Canton of Vaud: This is unlike most cheese I’d ever had – an unlike anything I even [...]
Cheese, Glorious Cheese

Cheese is one of my all time favorites. I refer to my cheese-man as my heterosexual life partner, or cheese boyfriend for short. We often shop at the St. Lawrence Market in Toronto and cheese can be 25%-30% of my weekly grocery budget. It took years to find a passionate, friendly cheese man who had [...]
