The casual summer dress is pretty much a uniform for many women rather than the standard t-shirt, capris (or shorts) and sandals. It’s something that can be dressed up or down with accessories and shoes, making it very versatile, whether you’re going grocery shopping, going out for brunch or a dinner date with your significant […]
With the weather warming up and bathing suit season coming earlier than usual, I have gone into turbo-mode trying to get fit for all my pretty summer outfits. This mixed bean salad is the perfect afternoon snack or light meal for everyone trying to get in shape for summer, but is so delicious that you […]
One of my favourite Yonge and Bloor area restaurants is Wish Restaurant on Charles, just east of Yonge. Known for a while as The Black Skirt, Wish offers delicious lunch and dinner choices as well as a weekend brunch and is definitely a place to go if you want to get away from the hustle […]
Gourmet quick bite restaurants are popping up all over the city, but few are anything like SLICED Gourmet, which recently opened on Bay and Elm. This restaurant, with its rustic interior, features both packaged, ready-to-eat sandwiches as well as the standard pressed with delicious fillings such as fig and prosciutto, a delicous-sounding Nutella-based sandwich called […]

I recall having lunch there when it first opened and sandwiches were always served with a small side salad. Not […]
I love curry. While it is one of those subjective flavours that people either really love or really hate, I find that a hint of curry is the perfect addition to compliment many types of dishes. This South-Asian spice has travelled across the globe, flavouring dishes in almost every country. While it is known as […]
I tried Delica Kitchen on Yonge and St. Clair, one of the growing number of gourmet “mid-food” (not “fast food,” but not “sit down service” either) eateries around Toronto. The philosophy of the restaurant, according to the website is “not to create trends” but to stick with things they find good. While the food isn’t […]
At Porchetta & Co., you only have two choices: A slow-roast pork sandwich or a slow-roast pork plate (called the Porchetta Sandwich and Porchetta Plate, respectively). There are, however, many different sauces and accompaniments to choose from. From cheeses to mushrooms to braised rapini, these can be used as toppings (sauces and toppings range between $0.25 […]
