The Canadian Opera Company’s (COC) Operanation is one of my favourite events of the year – especially its VIP dinner. Catered by 10tation Event Catering and held at the COC’s the Four Seasons Centre fo the Performing Arts, the meal was definitely, in some ways, “different.” The first thing I noticed when I walked into […]
I just realized that I have NOT posted a recipe on DelectablyChic! in ages. So why not do one now? I’ve been experimenting with food again recently, and decided to make a soup which can double as a sauce when heated. All you need are the following: This is the size you want the apples, […]
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 […]
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 […]
Mystery basket ingredients for the main course were not all that weird this past airing. They were whole chicken, malted soda, dried goji berries and raisin bran muffins. Thus, the first thing I thought of was stuffed chicken, using the goji berries and muffins. The malted soda could be used as a marinade for the […]
I had the chance to experience Porzia‘s new menu on April 15 through an invitation from its PR company. It was served cocktail style with cheese, crostini as well as pasta and dessert. The food was excellent, but the environment was far from that. In order to truly taste the food, attendees had to hover […]
In an effort to cut down on “traditional” carbs like wheat flour breads, rice and potatoes, I’ve been scouring the Internet for recipes which contain none of those ingredients. One can only have so much quinoa, after all. When I was looking up recipes for chickpea flour, I came across socca, a flatbread from the […]
You’ve probably seen the picture on Instagram. I made this baked tofu recipe a couple of weeks ago and my husband and I enjoyed it very much. It’s not directly inspired by any specific tofu recipe (though it’s based on the maple dijon chicken I made in late 2013) I’ve seen online, just something I […]
Recently, I decided to give an Italian-inspired meal an East Asian twist. Making meatballs Asian (dim sum) style and serving it with rice and seaweed noodles rather than wheat. This is not a difficult recipe to make. It’s basically a simple meatball recipe, but steamed rather than pan fried or baked. Ingredients: 375 g of […]
A while back, I posted a picture of a whole chicken I made in a slow cooker. This was inspired by a recipe I found over at The Little Kitchen and something that I intend to make for my family this coming Easter weekend. My husband and I are only having my parents over, so […]
