Arabesque

Thursday was a day that reminded me I was in Canada.  Finally the snow storm came and it blew hard.  That day I was going to meet two friends to cook up a whirlwind of business schemes and I started questioning the idea of meeting at Dufferin farmers market located downtown by Bloor and Dufferin.  […]

Brew Year’s Day at The Stop’s Green Barn

January finally felt like January (finally!) with the frigid cold air greeting my face as I stepped out in the open.  Looking from the inside, it seems comfortable and toasty-warm sunny.  But this cold doesn’t stop me from my resolve.  This year is the year I seek out what Canadian foodies do in the winter.  […]

North York blessed with its own Burger Priest

As I mentioned in a December post, I have found myself a part-time teaching job that I grovelled a bit to prep for. After a year of having my own schedule, it takes a while to get into the swing of something so regular once again. As things are starting to get into a pattern, […]

Christmas Cookies

December 24, 2011

One of the traditions I have embraced each Christmas here in Canada is having a cookie bake-off marathon with my friends.  It started when my friend Monika invited me over to bake cookies to give as gifts for her Polish friends.  Growing up, my idea of cookies are always simplistic sugar cookies, sometimes buttery, sometimes […]

It’s that time of the year when seeing friends is top of my list. This Sunday I reserved for seeing my friends from Ryerson.  One of us lives at Yonge and Eglinton and for that reason, our choices for a brunch place was limited within that area.  Seeing most brunch places have mixed reviews, I […]

Noel Nosh at Ottawa St. Farmers’ Market

Recently, I have my earliest Christmas gift. I found myself a part-time teaching job that would afford me to stay longer in my pursuit of food photography. The gig would start by January of the coming new year and that leaves me with under a month of freedom to be the master of my own […]

Feeding my hungry dragon at Mickey’s Pizza

I met Sandi Stoyan at a networking event last June with the Women’s Culinary Network. Deep in conversation with two other members, I see the passion and animation of how she expressed her love for food. It was like a magnet that drew me into the circle of banter. I later learned that this kindred […]

Bibingka and Tita Flips

One of the things I was lucky to have when I was in Manila was bibingka.  This sweet-savory treat most commonly appears only during the Christmas season, signalling the start of Misa de Gallo.  It’s Filipino tradition to rise up and early for mass that starts at 4:30am for nine days before Christmas.  As a […]

Murray’s Sandwich Emporium

December 3, 2011

It’s rather rare that I rave about a sandwich.  Two of my closest friends go absolutely nuts on the sight of good bread and I find it amusing.  This is because I have grown up at a place where rice is king.  So for me to blog about how absolutely amazing a sandwich is really […]
