In the late 1960s Andy Warhol famously stated: “In the future, everyone will be world-famous for 15 minutes.” Certainly an argument can be made that Warhol’s theory has been borne out on social media, where varying degrees of fame can befall anyone, at any time. Warhol was also innovative in transforming everyday commercial objects – […]
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, […]
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 […]
For the appetizer round, the mandatory ingredients were chicken breast, stout, parsnip and jelly rolls. A little bit weird, but not a complete throw-off. Not that difficult to figure SOMETHING out, either. What I’d make would be sweet and sour chicken sliders topped with parsnip slaw. This would work very well both as a passed […]
Maple fudge was one of the items in the main course basket, along with soft pretzels, chili fries and corn on the cob. So what should one make with that? Why not pulled maple turkey over pretzel and fries cake? Topped with corn and kale salad? Maple fudge – would you use it for a […]
Ummm, sure? Yes, rainbow coloured “fruit ring” cereal (think Froot Loops) was one of the mandatory ingredients for the main course of Episode 21. This was along with rabbit legs, spicy pickled green beans and port. Yes. What a weird basket. Difficult, too. But one needs to use the imagination in order to win, right? […]
So what do you make with ingredients such as elk, microwave cake (mix), saba and fenugreek? Roulade, filling the elk with fenugreek, ricotta, spinach and a bit of cake. The dish would be served with some orzo and some vegetables. Would you be able to make a main course with MICROWAVE CAKE?? (GROSS!) First of […]
The mystery basket ingredients for the appetizer round of episode 18 wasn’t all that difficult if one is very creative. They were: hot chocolate, cooked oxtail, harissa and black plums. With hot chocolate as one of the ingredients, the first thing that popped in my mind when I was watching was a mole sauce. Since […]
