Bar Italia this Summerlicious 2011

July 17, 2011

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 […]

Evergreen Brickworks Food Tour

July 17, 2011

2

It was perfect timing when one day I was hovering looking over many tweets that I saw @ChowBellaTO ‘s invitation to enter a draw to win one of the 8 tickets that they were giving away for the inaugural launch of the Evergreen Brickworks food tour.  It was something that I could not resist.  So […]

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

July 2, 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

1

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

June 15, 2011

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 […]

Malaysian Murtabak

One of the things I love about summers in Toronto (yep, it felt like summer yesterday!), are the many festivals happening all over town.  Some of them don’t get too much publicity as Caribana or the Pride Parade, but it’s equally entertaining and free.  After a long period of rain and gray skies, it seemed […]

Nino D’Aversa Bakery Ltd

In a sea of Korean and Iranian restaurants up here in North York, lies one very distinct Italian Cafeteria/Bakery.  Amidst the sea of foreign characters, the colors of Italy’s flag on a sign beckons you to come in and try their fare.  One day about two years ago,  I decidedly did find time to come […]
