Meeting the Ladies of the Women’s Culinary Network

June 1, 2011

0

This month May, has been a roller coaster of meeting new people and experiencing new things on my pursuit of a career in food photography.  I have mentioned in earlier posts that I have different things cooking in the sidelines and because of this, I met a whole new slew of people.  My quest of […]

Nunu’s Ethiopian Coffee Ceremony

May 29, 2011

0

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 […]

Nunu Ethiopian Restaurant – temporarily closed

May 9, 2011

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 […]

Le Petit Dejeuner

When a good friend calls you up on a lazy weekend and suggests a brunch, how can you say no?  I immediately googled for places that have the best Egg Benedict in Toronto (yep, I ignore the fact that Hollandaise sauce adds inches to my bulging waist :p) .  No matter which review site I […]

My Sushi Comfort Food in Toronto

March 28, 2011

I stumbled by this Japanese restaurant years and years ago, Super Sushi House at Kennedy and Ellesmere in Scarborough.  You see, it’s located right beside the Scarborough gym I used to go to.  I would have gym appointments several times a week and when I arrive too early, I kill the time right at this […]

La Vecchia Italian Restaurant

Waking up today, I didn’t really have a firm plan of what I would prioritize today.  Having changed lifestyles,  I still am trying to nail down a routine to follow.  It doesn’t help that I have so many ideas in my head and I do a little bit of each to keep each one going.  […]

Korean foodie craving

January 14, 2011

0

It’s been a while since my last post.  Things have been quite hectic last month when I have to finish my last days as a chemist and trade it for becoming a full-fledged foodie photographer.  It’s a big jump I know.  Quite bordering on insanity.  But I have a good feeling about this change.  I […]

My Toronto Beer Tour

October 24, 2010

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 […]

My first Canadian Thanksgiving dinner!

October 12, 2010

3

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 […]
