Given my very minute exposure to Ethiopian cuisine, I missed out on what is the most anticipated event in an Ethiopian meal – the coffee ceremony. Coffee, having historically started from Ethiopia, is a central part of Ethiopian hospitality. Just imagine me learning it belatedly, wincing as I read each word on the article I […]

Maybe it’s my curiosity why the competitors on Top Chef Canada got so worried about trying their flare on Ethiopian cuisine that I said yes without much of a thought when a client, Steve, suggested it last week after a shoot. I have no faint idea whether the food would be bland, spicy, heavy or […]

One of the things that my visiting cousin particularly enjoys are having a taste of different beers from different countries around the world. So I gave him a taste of what little I know. I made him try Canada’s Alexander Keith’s White, Rickard’s White, Molson Canadian, Labatt Blue, Mill Street and Steam Whistle. I like […]

After all this time in Toronto, I never have embraced the holiday of Thanksgiving. I have always found another thing to do, another place to visit, so much so that I never really stopped and consider experiencing it. This year however, I have a visiting cousin from Manila who would be arriving Thanksgiving weekend. He […]
