A little while ago the folks at The Siren Group invited me to an event featuring a new product called Skillet Bacon Spread. Given my love for bacon I was intrigued but unable to attend, so the folks at The Siren Group were kind enough to send some of the product […]
A few months ago I bought the Food Grinder attachment for my KitchenAid Stand Mixer. Ever since I bought it, the grinder has been sitting in its box tucked away into the corner. I bought it because I have visions of making my own sausages. Since we haven’t reached that […]
In Toronto, winter is finally making its way on out. Finally. We didn’t have such a terrible winter but there’s nothing like 5 or 6 months of cold and grayness to mess with your emotions. The days are getting longer and the sun is starting to shine a bit brighter. Summer, […]
Many of you are probably wondering what the heck Charcutepalooza is. I’ll start at the beginning.
When I put together my 2011 food goals, one of my goals was to experiment with charcuterie (sausages, ham, pâtés, and other cooked or processed meat foods). Not necessarily just eating them but making […]

It’s no secret that I love all things bacon. If it contains bacon I’m usually sold. So I was walking through Whole Foods the other day when I stumbled upon DAS Lollis. They had about 4 flavours of the lollipops on hand in really bright coloured packaging […]
For the past maybe 5 or 6 years I’ve put Julia Child’s on my Christmas wish list. For some reason no one has EVER bought it for me. I was ordering books from Amazon a few weeks ago and decided to finally make my own […]
The other day I had the most wonderful food day that I just had to share.
