A Night of USA Rice, Molecular Cuisine with Chef John Placko

October 28, 2012

0

When FayeClack Communications Inc. sent me an email to join a night of Molecular Cuisine and a demonstrations on different use of USA Rice, it didn’t take me too long to decide.  You could say the email grabbed me in two levels. The lab geek in me came out peeking and I doubt there would […]

Soupstock 2012

October 21, 2012

When about 200 chefs band together to get their voices heard to Stop the Mega Quarry, the crowd comes.  Just like what happened a year ago at Foodstock, foodies came in droves to support the efforts to stop the proposal to build a limestone mega quarry at Melancthon township.  When last year the attendance was […]

Annual Pumpkin Carving 2012

October 20, 2012

It doesn’t feel like it has been a year since the time that I have posted what happened during our pumpkin carving party last year. Just I have mentioned then, this year is our 10th year of doing this tradition, where we invite family and friends to carve pumpkins together.  This weekend we were at […]

The Doughnut Battle at 86’d Mondays at the Drake Hotel

October 16, 2012

One of my guilty pleasures was to dive into the gourmet indulgence that was 86’d Mondays at the Drake Hotel.  I haven’t been coming to these regular Monday events for a while this past summer as I have been away for a vacation and have to double time to catch up with work when I […]

Just as I promised myself last year, this year I was not going to miss the 2nd annual Toronto Garlic Festival.  September rolled in and I was in a lookout for the announcement.  Imagine my happiness when I found out that this year was not a conflict with my Algonquin trek.  In fact, it was […]

Just like any foodie in Toronto, I must confess I am addicted to Food TV Network.  One of my favorite TV shows was Top Chef Masters and on season 2, one of the competitors was Susur Lee.  I don’t know whether it was that he was from Toronto or it was because of the sensibilities […]

Thanksgiving 2012

This Thanksgiving weekend, I have a lot to be thankful for.  First and foremost, it has almost been two years since my change of careers and I am thankful that I am still here and able to sustain it.  I am living the life that I choose to live.  That in itself is a lot […]

Harbord Bakery

Accompanied by Abraham Wornovitzky today, we spent the afternoon scoping the site for a future photo shoot for a client.  I don’t know whether it was the brainstorming we did or driving through rows of restaurants by Dundas West that Abe started to have a serious craving for something sweet.  It was quite amusing to […]

September – TUM’s 1st Birthday

October 1, 2012

4

When my friend Diona Joyce of Kanto told me that the September TUM would be a celebration of its first year, I was taken aback of how fast time flies.  I still remember that time when I first saw the tweets for the first and the second events last year and how frustrated I was […]

One of my most anticipated art shows in Toronto was the Nuit Blanche.  For several years now, I have been a fan and I make it a point to see as much as my feet can do the walking.  Toronto stays awake for one night with a host of art installations scattered all over the […]
