Those of you who work in Toronto’s financial district are in luck. Bakery/café and SoHo favourite, Maman has opened north of the border and features delectable southern French treats. DelectablyChic! had the opportunity to attend media event on Bastille Day where we had the opportunity to sample cocktails and some of the treats, both savoury […]
A new app is available on iOS and Android (though it is currently invite only). If you are looking for lunch (or even breakfast or dinner) and are near the King Street area (pretty much Jarvis to the east, Liberty Village to the west and down to the lake in the south), you can use […]
When I was in my early 20s, I begged my parents to send me to a finishing school in Switzerland. A bona fide school where I would be trained in social graces, international etiquette and everything that goes with a standard finishing school curriculum. We even found one and asked for an application. I was […]
Episode 26 is season 2’s finale, so there won’t be another Chopped Canada write-up until season 3 premieres, probably some time in 2016. For the main course, the mystery ingredients were: trout caviar, lotus root, brunost cheese and butterscotch rice cakes. Kind of a random box, I think. I know some people complained about the […]
My husband and I decided to celebrate our fifth anniversary early by going to the Niagara region. That was where we got engaged six years ago. Since we both love food, we decided to take a cooking class. Though we stayed in the Falls, the class was at the Wine Country Cooking School at the […]
Ingredients for the appetizer from episode 25 were: Lobster, cream of mushroom soup, matzoh crackers and grape jelly. The first thing I thought of were those rice casserole dishes one sees at Hong Kong style diners (cha chaan teng) and some dim sum places. So why not do something similar with quinoa? Quinoa, after all, […]
It’s Canada Day, so we are taking the day off! Meanwhile, if you live in this country, I hope you have an amazing holiday! I hope the weather where you are will be nice for gorgeous fireworks and barbecues! My husband and I are going to relax, have brunch at our usual holiday spot and […]
Marilyn. Campbell’s Soup. Everyone is familiar with Andy Warhol. And a travelling exhibit, Andy Warhol Revisited, curated by Revolver Gallery from Los Angeles, is popping up in Yorkville starting tomorrow, July 1, 2015. Taking over the old Guess? and Porche Design spaces on Bloor, just west of Bay, the exhibit will be in town until […]
The mystery ingredients in the main course basket for this past weekend’s episode were: crab meat, pesto, mini pizza calzones and alfalfa sprouts. It sounds a little bit weird, but it can work. The crab meat and calzones can be broken down, mixed together and used as a stuffing for the chicken, while the alfalfa […]
I typically don’t listen to novels, but I felt that a book about an online publication HAD to be an audio…on my iPhone. The Knockoff by Lucy Sykes (she’s Plum Sykes’ twin) and Jo Piazza and narrated by Katherine Kellgren centres around Imogen Tate. Imogen is the 40-something editor-in-chief of Glossy, a fashion magazine and […]
