The crappy thing about winter is that there are far fewer things to can. If you’ve been following the blog you know that this summer I transitioned to pickling instead of making jam. I also preserved some peaches in syrup and made my fave Peach Jam with Pinot Noir and Cinnamon […]
I’m currently having a bit of a love affair with Londontown. While Paris will forever be my lover, London holds a special place in my heart as well. You may remember that I was in London over the summer. I had no plans to return so soon but the stars aligned and I found […]
A few weeks back I was in Chicago for a quick jaunt. My sis had been raving about brunch at Art Smith’s Table 52 so we hit it up that Sunday. I had the shrimp and grits and she had the fried chicken and waffles. While my shrimp and grits were delicious […]
A few weeks ago over at Sizzling Communications invited me to attend a butter tasting of Stirling Creamery at Lynn Crawford’s restaurant Ruby Watchco. Seeing as butter is my middle name I was definitely going to be in attendance.
An event based around butter is certainly a […]
I’m not sure what switch has been flicked in my brain but recently dessert has been a big deal for me. Sure, I’ve always been a dessert kind of gal but I’d usually be happy enough settling for a few squares of chocolate, an apple pie from McDonald’s (my kryptonite) or a cookie […]

For this trip I decided to do something a bit different and signed up for a cooking class. I know a few people that have done this on their vacation and highly recommended it. What I really wanted was to sign up for an intermediate or advanced pastry class but I couldn’t find one […]
I recently received an invite from the lovely folks at Coach to an event at the Coach store on Bloor in Toronto to celebrate the launch of Gail Simmons’ book .Gail of course is a judge on Top Chef, the host […]
As I mentioned in a recent post, I love me some beef cheeks. I like them so much that after first making them I called the butcher to order 5lbs of them so I could always have a stash of beef cheeks in my freezer. They are that good.
When I got […]
