As someone who enjoys health and wellness retreats, embarking on a foodie excursion to Chicago would require me to adjust my expectations. There would be a dearth of fruits and veggies at mealtime, to be sure – after all, the city is known for its deep-dish pizzas, hot dogs, and pierogis. In fact, it was […]
…what a disappointment! I spent much of Friday up there, just to see what it was all about. After all, the mall has been around for more than a year. I knew, going in, not to expect Woodbury Common in New York, but I wasn’t thinking that it would be DREADFUL, either. Especially the food […]
Well, not exactly a “farmer’s market” in the sense of Brickworks, but definitely delicious treats and more! The pop-up will be outside the Club Monaco flagship store on Bloor and Avenue Road from now until mid-fall, according to the press release. Vendors are P&L, Boxcar Social, Sweet Woodruff, Philip’s Ice Pops and The Bake Shoppe. […]
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 […]
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, […]
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 […]
Many old favourites are back, including Trevor Kitchen + Bar, La Société, Sassafraz and One. Lee and Bent are also on the list, Luckee is not. Also missing is the restaurant at the Drake Hotel. Perhaps they’re just sitting this one out and will be back for Winterlicious 2016. Who knows? Prices remain the same […]
