Cherry Picking at Cherry Avenue Farms

So what do you do when the cousin that is visiting you have been here a couple of times?  Everyone says that the third time is the charm.  Does that mean I have to top the previous two visits?  We have done all the obvious Toronto draws (CN Tower, trip to Niagara Falls, etc, etc).  […]

This summer seems like I don’t have enough time to get around Toronto.  So many things happening the same time, this foodie is way behind my blog entries.  I will try to catch up and that would mean you guys would be immersed with posts from me.  Life of a foodie, never boring ;) I […]

Food Truck Eats!

July 2, 2011

One of the things I miss about my country is the availability and variety of street food.  To be able to grab a quick, freshly cooked low-maintenance kind of meal is a gift when you have to eat on the run.  It seems that the City of Toronto has strict regulations of what can be […]

Rotary Canada Day International Festival and Ribfest 2011

After a decade in Canada, you’d think that I would run out of first times.  Despite me living in Scarborough a few years ago, I never really got into trying out the local festivals.  Half the time during the summer, I am somewhere else, driving and exploring far out of the GTA.  This year, I […]

High Park Sunday Morning

June 26, 2011

I found myself hiking through the trails of High Park early this morning, looking for a special spot.  I chose the park for my client, Jackie, who wanted an on-location portrait for her daughter, Caitlin.  I’ve always wished the High Park is right on my backyard.  Sprawling 400 acres in the heart of Downtown Toronto, […]

Future’s Bakery and Cafe

One of my most favorite places in Toronto is this casual Bakery/Pub/Cafe up at the Annex, Future’s Bakery and Cafe.  I came upon it about three years ago through an internet meetup.  This place is always brimming with people.  With really cheap prices, free WiFi,  it’s a haven for UofT students on a budget.  A […]

Fred’s Not Here at King St W. – Permanently closed

One of the most influential people I have met since my move to Canada is my personal trainer, Dwayne Walker.  I have met him back in 2002 and I have followed him around since then.  He is what you can call my personal happy pill as his optimism is infectious and he can make you […]

Gladstone Hotel New Menu Food Shoot

And so it finally came, my first restaurant food shoot.  All the prepping and practicing and finally I face the real thing.  Exhaling deep,  I walk in the Gladstone Hotel, a historic art-oriented boutique hotel, at Queen St West, accompanied by my friend and food stylist, Abe Wornovitzky. I skipped coffee that day.  With the […]
