I love hitting the markets in the summer. This morning, I snagged some freshly-picked veggies from the SickKids Farmer’s Market …more

In good weather at King and Bay, you can find Bridgette Pinder serving up delicious roti from her Carib Fusion cart, a survivor of the ill-fated Toronto A La Cart program. With jerk chicken, curry chicken, and beef patties on the menu, it’s what’s not listed that keeps me coming back.
Since early June, I’d been looking forward to the Food Truck Eats event that Suresh Doss from spotlighttoronto.com had put together. As the weeks went by, there seemed to be a lot of pickup in the media and online, and I knew: this was going to be a busy event. So my feet were on Distillery grounds a full 20 minutes early. With my eating pants on and my tupperware and chopsticks in-hand, I was ready to go.
For the last few years, President’s Choice has hosted the 1000 Tastes food festival as part of Luminato. This event rounded …more
A morning of free frozen yogurt from xococava (and Topshop), donuts from Little Nicky’s, and 1000 Tastes later this afternoon. Throw in the MMVA’s setting up, and Downtown Toronto at Queen and John is busy place to be this weekend!
Just as an update to my previous post, here is the haul I snagged from day 2 of Toronto Bakes For …more
The Toronto Bakes for Japan event, a fundraiser for the Japan Red Cross Society, takes place at several locations across Toronto this weekend. You too can hand over a donation and abscond with an awesome haul of treats.
I’m about 10 days away from CIBC’s Run For The Cure and I’ve done no fund-raising. So I am resorting to baked-goods and pictures of kittens in an attempt to get things going in a hurry.
Though we’re mid-way through summer, I thought I’d do a quick round-up of markets in the downtown Toronto core. There are several in a (roughly) 1km radius of City Hall, which makes it easy to pick up fresh local fruits and produce before work, during the lunch hour, or on a weekend. I’ve enjoyed ridiculously fragrant peaches, sweet cherries, and intensely flavoured wild blueberries during my numerous excursions to the various surrounding markets. I’ve also gotten duds too, so when you go, look out for those offering samples – and use your nose.
By now, some of you may have figured out that I love dining out and eating new, as well as …more
