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 […]
Paris is known as a fashion capital and when most people go to Paris they go shopping for the latest fashions. Not I! In terms of fashion I only bought a pair of Bensimon sneakers and a backpack (don’t ask). What I really stocked up on was food! Here’s a rundown of the groceries […]
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 […]
If you’ve been reading my blog over the past few years you know that I probably love traveling as much as I love food. When I can combine my gastronomic pursuits with traveling (which I always find a way to do) then the trip will likely be amazing.

After my last successful macaron-making endeavour I decided to give it another go. This time I set out to make another one of my favourite macaron flavours — salted caramel. I decided to consult with the current king of the Paris macaron scene, Pierre Herme. I sampled some of Pierre Herme’s […]

Ever since my meal at Chez Omar in Paris I’ve been dreaming about couscous with vegetable stew. So of course I spent a while trying to find something to replicate it.
The closest I came was this recipe over at Smitten Kitchen. Interestingly enough their quest for a couscous recipe was triggered […]
I just got back from a fabulous week in Paris (France). Paris isn’t new to me, I spent almost 6 months studying there while in university about 6 years ago. It was time for another visit. While living there on zero income I didn’t get to take full advantage of all the […]
I’ve always been a fan of crepes. In high school there used a “creperie” near my high school where I’d stop off for breakfast or sometimes lunch (oh how I miss my days of disposable income). My fave combination was always salami, tomato and cheese. Clearly I was into health food.
