Bean curd sheets, or tofu skins, are often see as savoury items at dim sum (fu pay guin). However, it was a mystery ingredient on the third episode of the third season, along with white Saturn peaches, black peppercorns and vanilla powder. If you look at it from a dim sum perspective (even though it’s […]
I just realized that I haven’t used ingredients found in the dessert basket yet, so this week, I’m going to discuss what can be made with the following ingredients: carrot juice, baba ganoush, sesame candy and tamarillo. Tamarillo, according to Wikipedia, is a shurb-like fruit, with a taste that is tangy and sweet. It also […]
People who know me know that I prefer lighter desserts. With Passover and Easter next week, and both holidays associated with big meals, why not try something lighter? If you remember, this past (Canadian) Thanksgiving, I adapted a baked apple recipe I found online. For Passover (and Easter, too), I’ve modified it a bit more, […]
The financial district’s favourite cupcake shop opened its Yorkville spot today (April 26).

I last wrote about DT Bistro almost three years ago, first about their brunch and then again, their prix fixe dinner. This restaurant, located on Harbord Road between Spadina and Bathurst, was actually where my husband and I got our wedding cake (after a very long search). A bit has changed since the last time […]
I have to admit that I love brunch. Whether it be fancy at a hotel or super-casual at a greasy diner, it’s almost always great. Recently, my husband and I stopped by MoRoCo Chocolat (Mo and Ro stand for Montana and Rory, children of the owners, and the “Co” is, of course, chocolate) in Toronto’s […]
