Nick and Niagara Street Café

Jen — Mon, 23 Jan 2012 22:16:27 +0000

Despite having heard about it numerous times, I hadn't made it out to Niagara Street Café until late last November. Boy, was I sorry that there weren't any earlier visits. With time ticking away, I thought I'd post this sooner than later; it's Chef Liu's last week, and here's why you want to check NSC out if you can!

Yummy porchetta grilled cheese at Porchetta & Co. Gooey cheese, well-seasoned porchetta, and caramelized onion jam between two slices of white bread. Satisfying.

Shopping & Treats At Crafternoon Tea

So this past weekend, I baked some of my chocolate chip cookies for Crafternoon Tea, a fund raiser tea and craft market combo. Run by fashion maven Nathalie-Roze, this was a good chance to have tea and find some locally crafted goods for holiday gifts. Though I was never sure if I was buying things for someone else or myself! Warning: many photos of tasty food and beautiful crafts (mostly crafts).

Le Chat Botté

Jen — Wed, 16 Nov 2011 19:30:16 +0000

For my first meal back on Swiss soil, I opted to have lunch at a Michelin-starred restaurant: Le Chat Botté at the hotel Beau Rivage. Framed by an intensely blue sky of a sunny spring day, the blindingly white and stately hotel faces Lake Geneva and the ever-familliar Jet d'Eau. A fitting start to my trip.

Geneva, April 2011

Jen — Wed, 16 Nov 2011 19:29:40 +0000

In my youth, I spent three months traipsing around a city of chocolate, clocks, and cows: Geneva, Switzerland. Ostensibly to refine my French, I revelled in my independence abroad. Given that I was almost 16, a “good kid,” and had a total of $400 for frivolous spending, you can imagine how not-crazy I was. Still, ...more

Salted Caramel Truffles From Nota Bene

Jen — Sun, 30 Oct 2011 19:57:38 +0000

I love that Nota Bene has these salted caramel truffles as an after-dinner option. It’s got a liquid caramel centre that explodes on your tongue when you bite into it (pro-tip: pop the whole thing in your mouth and let it melt). Simple, delicious, and perfect for those times when you want something sweet, but not ...more

Toronto Underground Market Takes Off

Jen — Sun, 25 Sep 2011 14:16:42 +0000

Toronto’s interest in food and food events seems to have reached a fever-pitch; food trucks, food fundraisers, and the proliferation of farmer’s markets in every mall parking lot give a good indication of this. Latest on the scene is the Toronto Underground Market. Self-described as a “social food market,” cooks, both new entrepreneurs and seasoned chefs alike, can show off their culinary ...more

Molasses Spice Cookies

Jen — Mon, 12 Sep 2011 15:30:51 +0000

I love molasses spice cookies. That chewy texture and deep molasses taste is so good, especially with a cup of coffee. Several years ago, I undertook a quest to find the right recipe that matched the molasses spice cookies that Starbucks had. I'm not sure I found the recipe, but after several taste-tests from my fellow SB addicts, we found one we liked and then of course, I tweaked it to my tastes.
