The first episode of the third season aired on Food Network Canada, featuring, yes, the new host (who made his debut on the show’s teen tournament). Ingredients in the three rounds included candy necklaces in the first round as well as caramel-flavoured rice cakes and yarrow for dessert. The main course’s ingredients were rotisserie chicken, […]
With Christmas coming up, why not use the dessert round’s ingredients to create a sweet casserole dish for Christmas morning (who cares if the kids are going to get more hyper? It’s Christmas Day. It’s allowed). In the basket for round three were: crumpets, quince, butterscotch chips and whole allspice. Not too difficult to combine. […]
There are always weird ingredients on Chopped, regardless of whether the chefs are adult professionals or kids! On episode 2, these included “ants on a log” (peanut butter and raisins on celery) and “marshmallow rice cereal” treats (basically Rice Krispies squares, but Chopped never gets food brand sponsorship (why IS that, anyway??), so a generic […]
This past Saturday, the very first episode of Chopped Canada’s teen edition aired, featuring kids between 13 and 17. It was also the first show with the new host, Brad Smith, who is a former contestant of The Bachelor Canada. The kids used ingredients ranging from toaster pastries (chocolate flavoured) to beef and fish sauce. […]
Once again, I had the opportunity to attend the VIP event at this year’s Gourmet Food & Wine Expo. Some old favourites are back, as noted in an earlier post (and some were missing, as well, such as long time attendee, Hank Daddy’s BBQ). Of course, I saw the wonderful people at Muskoka Lakes Wineries […]
One of DelectablyChic!’s favourite events of the year, the Gourmet Food & Wine Expo (not to be confused with the Food and Wine Festival, which was held earlier this year) starts on Thursday with a VIP party and continues until Sunday at the Metro Convention Centre North Building. Many old favourites are returning, including Magic […]
Earlier this year, I joined a group of food journalists from around the world on a mission to explore the cool culinary scene in Israel and in particular, its celebrated breakfast. Indeed, anyone familiar with Israeli food culture will know that no other meal can compete with the ginormous and delicious Israeli breakfast. In most countries, breakfast is a throwaway meal. Not here. Forget about the croissant or muffin and coffee that barely gets you […]
Recently, DelectablyChic! travel writer, Lynn Burshtein and I were invited by Pulse Communications, a travel PR agency, to attend food-related event hosted by Virgina Tourism. Held at ARD (THE LOFT Andrew Richard Designs), it featured delicious delights highlighting the culinary scene in Virginia. There were food stations featuring fried hand pies, Virginia ham, oysters, Virginia […]
The first-ever Toronto Food & Wine Festival was held at Evergreen Brickworks between Friday, September 18 and Sunday, September 20. I have to admit that the event was a bit more fun when it was known as the “Delicious Food Show.” It felt a little smaller this year, without many of the vendors from last […]
The inaugural Toronto Food and Wine Festival (formerly known as the Delicious Food Show) starts on September 18! Sure, it has a very similar name to that OTHER food and wine event in November (but I’m sure no one will be confused), the website makes it sound a bit more casual and more consumer-focused. And […]
