Whoever said that a bad day’s fishing trumps a great day at
work wasn’t too far off, but they probably weren’t a Chef. Don’t get me wrong:
I love to fish and next to my passion for all things food, fishing is a very
close second. Ever since I was a small kid, I’ve had fond memories of time
spent on the water with my father, fishing the whole day away. Those early
mornings were so easy to wake up for knowing the prospect of chucking a baited
hook and some easy fish to trick into taking my offering was the order of the
day.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>To this very day, I still eagerly
drag myself out of bed at ungodly hours for a great days fishing and now have
my faithful friend Maddox, the retriever, to accompany me. Our routine:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Timmie’s coffee for me and a milk bone for
Maddox then the road to our special spot for a day on the river. Not bad….Not
bad at all.<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
As I have matured, I’ve really begun to embrace the Art of
the Fly Fishing. In all its aspects, from learning how to control my drift, to
reading water, matching the hatch and tying my own flies…it’s all fun. There’s
something so beautiful in hiking out into the bush, waders on and a pocket full
of my latest creations to try on Mr. Salmon, Mr. Trout or Mr.Whatever I can
trick into a tussle. I have been very conservation oriented right from my days
of being a boy scout till now, so it’s all catch and release. Just a photo for
me. a sniff for Maddox, a thank you and on your way. There have been many days
where I don’t catch a thing; sometimes it’s because Maddox splashes around too
much, sometimes it might be me, sometimes it’s just not in the cards. I’m not
bothered one bit…I love being one with nature. I realized long ago that it’s
the journey, the drive with Maddox, the morning crisp air and the beautiful
surroundings: this takes my breath away.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I don’t think that there’s anything much better than being hip deep in a
river, the birds singing all around, trees whispering and yourself alone in
nature’s beauty.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Magnificent!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
With my obvious love of fishing I have always been
fascinated with the sturgeon, a prehistoric monster of the deep, well not so
monstrous in attitude but in its potential size! With its unique outer skin,
plates not scales, and its strength, I have always been interested in them. In
fact, the Sturgeon has been a proverbial ’white whale’ or ‘bucket-list’ for me,
as I’ve always wondered what it would be like to catch one and handle it —<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>the power and the size are a bit intimidating
— but it has always been a major attraction to me.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So as you can well imagine this opportunity
to get up close and personal fascinates me to the extreme!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In my Chef life, my love and passion for the best quality in
ingredients is of the greatest importance. To take the time to learn where my
products that I serve come from helps me tell a story to those who enjoy my
food. It means taking the time to forge strong relationships with like-minded
people who are passionate about what they do, inevitably they produce a product
of superior quality. I loved your story about “love at first sight” with the
sturgeon, it made me laugh but also led me to believe that you care so very
much and take immense pride in all that you do. Having been a fan of yours on Facebook
has also led me to believe that you are passionate about food and the you make
full use of the entire fish and nothing goes to waste; this is something I
admire and believe in as well.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Here is a little background on me and where I’ve come from
in terms of food. I started to cook at the early age of 11, I thank my father
for this (for my love of fishing and cooking) as he was the one who inspired me
to cook. I apprenticed at a boutique hotel called the Waterside Inn and worked
in their fine dining restaurant called The Breakwater, under Chef Dirk Noort, who
is currently Chef Instructor at George Brown College. I mentored under Master
Chef D’Orsi who medaled in the category of Fish at Bocuse D’Or.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I was recruited right out of culinary school
to work in the United Kingdom. I had two placements: Mapledurham Golf Club and
The London Street Brasserie, a Michelin Star establishment. I can honestly say
it was a mind opening experience, and one that I will never forget. Currently,
I host food related events like The Diner en Blanc Toronto and I am a culinary
instructor at Dish Cooking School in Toronto, teaching corporate team building
events. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
When I am not cooking with food, I most certainly involve
myself in the food community with my blog Baguettes and Butterscotch, my food
oriented photography, my work as a social media community manager for a gourmet
food multinational, currently working on the photography for a cookbook and as
a food writer/photographer for View the Vibe, National Post and Swallow Food in
Toronto.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So as you can see I am quite
busy with food. I can be found on various twitter accounts but my principle
account is @bnbutterscotch where I have nearly 2100 followers, most are food
lovers from all over the world. I am constantly on Facebook where I post about
food, events, photography, my love of motorbikes, fishing and travel.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Currently, my Klout score is 60 and I am influential about
the topics of food, photography, blogging and event planning. I love using Instagram
to post frequently about food, on occasion about my dog Maddox and current events
in Toronto.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
As for what this adventure would mean to me? I think this is
a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to have a wonderful adventure. For a unique opportunity
to combine my two passions of cooking and fishing together into one is
something too hard to resist! I am ready to get elbows deep into the whole
experience from the aquaculture (hopefully I get to see how sturgeon are
farmed, maybe even tag one), to time spent on the water trying to fish for one
(I know that the fight is incredible) to cooking with every part of an
ingredient that is so unique from head to tail…truly, to me, it is <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>an adventure that I can’t believe I might have
an opportunity to participate in. It would really be something memorable to
write home about…my only regret is that Maddox won’t have the opportunity to
take a sniff of Mr. or Mrs. Sturgeon….oh well, a good photo will have to do.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Here’s hoping for a great adventure in taste and passion.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Yours fondly,</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Chef Nicholas</div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">In every world cuisine, its ingredients, techniques and inspiration
reflect the sign of the times. Recently having had the opportunity to
discover the correlation of the beauty of the exhibit <a href="http://www.ago.net/RevealingTheEarlyRenaissance" target="_blank"><i>Revealing the Early Renaissance </i></a>and the spring menu at <a href="http://www.ago.net/frank/" target="_blank">FRANK</a>
– both currently viewable and tastable, respectively, at the AGO
Ontario – it is apparent the similarities of tastes, influence and
methodology are deliciously and beautifully intertwined.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><i>Revealing the Early Renaissance</i> has been a 10-year labour of
love for Sasha Suda, Coordinating Curator for the exhibit and Assistant
Curator of European Art at the AGO. The gallery is very lucky to host
such a breathtaking collection of Early Renaissance Art; with many of
these pieces never having been displayed outside their country of
origin. The Early Renaissance movement that centred in Florence, Italy
saw a huge shift in how art was produced, significant changes towards
attitudes, and a greater distribution of some of the most important
works happening in Europe.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
</span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">During this time, a growing wealthy merchant class began to
accumulate wealth and property and an attitude for the appreciation of
the “finer things.” This position created a certain anxiety that created
a wanton desire to invest in the church as a means to ensure passage to
heaven. In turn, this led to a righteous growth in demand for spiritual
art. It also revitalized the art of storytelling, new methods of
production and possibility – most significant artists of this period
were making more art than many historians could have originally assumed.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
</span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">During this period, artists worked in workshops as the Master Artist
and had a tight roster of people who worked with them in their ‘style’.
The Master Artist would work on the key or central focus and have their
assistants produce the accompanying pieces or surroundings. The
depictions of subjects during this period showed a more human element,
the newly wealthy commissioned pieces where they could see themselves in
the art, thus making the art more relatable.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
</span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">For the artists of the time, advancements were made through the
innovation of their workshops, converting them purely as artists to true
business men, working in a variety of mediums and achieving a more
sophisticated level of artistry than originally credited…</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
</span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Chef de Cuisine Jay Tanuwidjaja, like the Master Artists of the Early
Renaissance, leads a tight roster of kitchen talent who help him
execute a style all his own. He describes his style as “comfort food
taken to another level.” The spring menu at FRANK is directly inspired
by the region of Florence and Italy. The dishes are well-rounded, and
the flavours heavily influenced with olives, bold punchy flavours of
lemon and garlic, and easy-to-spot quality ingredients.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
</span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">The other night, we tasted an amazing array of these creations, from
exciting amuse bouches like wild mushroom truffle tea and wild mushroom
and polenta bruschetta, to subdued simplicity in the grilled asparagus
and prosciutto salad with lemon garlic vinaigrette. Harkening back to
Old Italy was the spaghetti puttanesca with scallop, while the pan
seared black cod with tomato basil risotto brought contemporary flare to
a classic composition.</span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
</span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">The wine pairings recommended by Fabian Ramirez, Food and Beverage
Manager, worked brilliantly with each course accentuating Chef’s menu
perfectly. Particular nods must go to the spaghetti puttanesca with
scallop, which was very bold, rich and cooked to perfection. FRANK’s
menu at the AGO is most definitely inspired by the exhibits showcased.
It is delicious to know that, like life, food can indeed imitate art.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: small; line-height: 115%;">I would just like to say,
that I am sucker for simplicity in cooking. Make no mistake thought, I WILL NOT
sacrifice quality though, I would much rather take the time to cook from
scratch than use an inferior substitute in its stead. This is particularly true
about my pasta and pasta sauce. If I was asked, trust me, I HAVE been asked a
lot…as a Chef what is my go to meal? I’d honestly say it would have to be
spaghetti and meatballs. Simple, fun and really delicious. This is even more so
now as the days get shorter and there is a bit of chill in the air. As with
many, I gravitate towards comfort foods during the colder months soups, stews
and oh yes PASTA is always on the brain.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: small; line-height: 115%;">When I first learned about the
launch of Louise Prete’s new Tomato and Basil pasta sauce I was intrigued. I
have for the past four years since moving to my new home been growing,
harvesting and making my own tomato sauce and I find it difficult to go back to
generic jarred sauce from the grocery store. So I was a bit optimistic but
still a bit of a skeptic…but I am very happy to say that this is a lovely sauce
made with love and in the true spirit of Italian tradition. Taking a look at
the care that they put into their production of this sauce it’s hard not to take
notice. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Speaking to Micha<span style="font-size: small;">el Malleau, Louises<span style="font-size: small;">'</span> grandson who <span style="font-size: small;">has taken his inspiration from <span style="font-size: small;">his <span style="font-size: small;">Nonna and tra<span style="font-size: small;">nslated <span style="font-size: small;">that passion into this new l<span style="font-size: small;">ine of fine foods. He stresses<span style="font-size: small;"> the use<span style="font-size: small;"> </span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span>of time honoured tradition, quality of ingredients, basil, olive oil
and fresh onions and most importantly garlic. Made with care and love in small
batches there is an incredible depth of flavour, beautiful body and richness in
colour to their sauce. Not common in most run of the mill jarred sauces available
to the consumer. You can really appreciate the aroma and taste when you prepare something as simple as a dish of pasta or used on pizza.</div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Their winemaking philosophy
is quite straightforward and has been embraced by great wineries for centuries.
To put it simply, “great wines come from the best grapes grown in the best
vineyards and winemaking techniques are simply utilized to capture the essence
of the grapes provenance and character.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>What that means is that they do not exclusively rely on their own grown
grapes but seek out the very best that the Niagara region has to offer from
various farmers, thus ensuring a consistent, high quality grape all the time.
They go a step further by hand picking and sorting 100% of their grapes before
the production cycle begins. Quality right from the very start! </span></div>

There are so many different uses a<span style="font-size: small;">nd </span></span></span></span></span></span>a
multitude of ways to cook<span style="font-size: small;"> them up...sunny side up</span>, scrambled, poached etc. it doesn’t matter the
result is always fresh, delish and a great source of protein. </div>

to make this a bit interesting for those who follow me and to bring out the
awareness of the importance of what our Egg Farmers do to provide us all with
their lovely produce. I am having a <b>contest</b>. Please visit <a href="http://www.eggfarmersofontario.ca/">www.eggfarmersofontario.ca</a> and get
informed with an “Egg-ducation” by watching one of their videos and leave
a comment on this post with one fact that you learned for a chance to win a $50
gift card to the Egg-citing and ever so delish <a href="http://www.chezcora.com/home">Chez Cora</a>! I will randomly pick a

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I
have always loved potato salad and have in my own recipe incorporated eggs as
many do. Bacon has also made its home nicely with many of my potato salad
recipes in the form of bacon bits…so it made sense to use these as my flavour
base for this dish. The spin on the
deviled egg is the incorporation of freshly grated parma in the whipped egg
yolks, dijion mustard, paprika, mayonnaise and seasoning blended until it is
pillow light and fluffy and then piped back into the whites.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Something’s
are truly sacred in cookery, especially at holiday times...the presentation and the carving of the
turkey is a penultimate moment for the whole family to share. What I am writing today
may have some traditionalists turning in their graves or at the very least burning their aprons in effigy…I am
suggesting a different way to roast a turkey.
I will go even farther than that…dare I say that turkey isn’t just for
holidays anymore.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I
am not saying that the prep time is reduced to minutes but I can certainly tell
you that if you follow my method on preparing such a delish and healthy choice
of protein…it will cook perfectly, quickly and simply! Gone are the days of
having to cook a turkey for the majority of a day only to result in dry, tasteless meat that hangs around too long like an unwanted guest.</span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I
have to admit that I have only cooked turkey for my friends and family a very
few times…partially it was due to my Father saying that turkey is
dry and not to his liking. Also, my own preconceived thinking of the same. When I think back to my childhood days,
visiting friends and family during the Holidays, remembering the sheer horror
of having to suffer through and washing down turkey drier than the desert, you
can imagine that it left me with a very negative impression. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Now,
I can tell you that in my professional Chef days, we roasted tens to hundreds
of turkeys a season for banquets, a la carte and for clientele pick ups. Suffice it to say, I have a pretty good idea
of what works and how best to cook a beautiful bird. One of the major problems is that white meat
and dark meat cook at different rates, causing there to be an uneven end
result. Also, the size of the bird and the stuffing work against an even
distribution of heat and a juicy tender outcome.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Taking
a look at the process to simplify your turkey preparation, follow these steps
and you will enjoy a much more desirable and tasty outcome. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Why
do you ask that we do this? Well, to put
it simply, turkey is delicious, juicy, healthy and economical. It shouldn’t just be considered around the
holidays and has many uses or follow-up uses after the main meal…but I can tell
you that if you cook your bird following these instructions…there might not be
much left over as you might think.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Preparation time is a day
or two ahead of the date desired to feast.
It’s a simple step-by-step process though.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Brine
is crucial to the process to increase flavour and juiciness in the end product.
My brine recipe is included below. If
you buy frozen…leave the turkey in a baking pan from frozen for about 5
days…let it defrost naturally. The brine
is easy to make if you prep all the ingredients first.</span></span></div>

<div class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Once the brine has done its
job, remove the bird and pat dry removing any of the spices or other flavouring
ingredients from the cavity or the surface.</span></span></div>

will need to get this bird done correctly and safely…Roasting pan, sharp knife
(Chef’s Knife), flavouring items (mire poix), butter, herbs and other
seasonings.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">We are going to go ahead
and butterfly the turkey, we do this to reduce the thickness of the bird,
therefore reducing the cooking time, allowing for a higher heat application and
shortened cooking and standing time. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> We remove the spine of the
turkey, using the knife and guiding it along one side of the neck towards the
pope’s nose (the butt) and then repeat on the other side…be careful as you get
closer to the hips of the turkey you may need to exert more force….a sharp
knife will do wonders.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Once the spine is removed,
do not discard; instead place it in the roasting pan. We will not waste any
part of an animal that we know has some use, in this case to add flavour to the
juice that collects at the bottom of the pan.</span></span></div>

<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin-left: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">When the spine is removed,
the next step is to remove the rib cage and the breast bone. Using your sharp
knife…I use a boning knife (pictured) to run along the ribs and the breast
meat…you can do this by hand as well if you feel a bit barbaric…I don’t mind
either way will do.</span></span></div>

<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin-left: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">The breast bone is a bit
tricky…I run the knife along both sides of the bone scraping the meat off
little by little…and then with a flick and a tug you can remove the breast bone
in one piece. It does take a bit of finesse but once you have learned how to do
it…its very simple.</span></span></div>

splayed out without bones except for in the wings and legs you have a
choice….to season or not to season? I mean it has been brined and should be
full of flavour…so it is your choice…another choice you have is…to Roast or to
BBQ? In this form, this bird is great on the BBQ, sear it off at a high heat
and then reduce and cook till done…yum!</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Getting back to roasting,
the next thing to do is tuck in the wings and the legs. The easiest way to tuck
in the legs is to make two incisions on the lower part of the breasts and tuck
each leg in one at a time. The reasoning is to compact the bird, like trussing
a chicken in order to make it cook evenly.</span></span></div>

turn our focus to the roasting pan…we will place all the trimmings minus the
fat into the pan, we will also add aromatics, here I have placed: peppercorns, onion, lime, cilantro, carrots
and trimmings. This will infuse and roast in a rich lovely flavour into our
bird. This is what I call blessing the
pan.</span></span></div>

sage is traditional herb and a large amount of butter. Making my way in between
the skin and the meat I make pockets of flavour in the breast, leg joints and
thighs…I am drooling now, things are looking great!</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">A good friend of mine recently asked that…it's a tough question.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I guess there are a few reasons why this is
so…first Mississauga is mainly suburbia and most people who live here are
content to stay at home during the week to cook at home then rushing off to
send their kids off to after-school activities or watching the boob tube after
a long day, long commute home. This unfortunately, doesn’t foster a thriving
foodie community, at least I don’t think it does.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">That being said, given time
and effort one can find a few gems in far ranging cultures to satisfy your need
for good food while staying in the 905 area code. Here below I’ve compiled a shortlist
of a few of my fave places to go. These are in my opinion my choices for great
food, some cheap and secret some are legendary.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>If you have others to suggest please do so for the benefit of my friend
and myself! If you disagree tell me why and who is better as I am always
looking for new choices.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">This is by no means a
definitive guide to dinning in Mississauga, but I would confidently say that
this is a pretty darn good start for those who are adventurous and looking for
goodeats closer to home if you live in the 905. These are not comprehensive food reviews just my
recollections of past visits and advice. Look for future posts or the archives
for more comprehensive reviews of each location.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-weight: normal;">Breakwater is the only restaurant
in Mississauga to have a 3.5 star rating from </span></b><i><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Toronto Life</span></i><b><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-weight: normal;">, the </span></b><i><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Award of Excellence from Wine Spectator</span></i><b><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-weight: normal;"> and a </span></b><i><span style="font-size: 10pt;">CAA 4 Diamond Award</span></i><b><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-weight: normal;">. But more importantly,
this is where I apprenticed my culinary before heading to London, United
Kingdom. The dining room is stunning, the food innovative and the service is
impeccable. Truly a unique and wonderful dining experience one that I would
reserve for special occasions. Port Credit is truly the jewel of Mississauga
and I would suggest a lovely walk about town before or after your meal which I
am sure will be memorable. </span></b></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">I have on many
occasions visited the Inn and enjoyed a lovely meal. In particular, I have
enjoyed their lunch and brunch menus both of which I would recommend. The menu
ranges from continental to French influence; the wine list leans towards VQA
and is pretty adequate.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Their tea
service is quaint and encompasses most traditional favourites. Very reminiscent
of the Old Mill, in style located in beautiful Saw Mill Valley area of
Mississauga. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Why this place?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Great for business lunches, ladies of

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Is one of two
restaurants in Mississauga, the other being West 50 Pour House & Grill that
are owned by a partnership that has been developing the restaurant scene in
Mississauga. I can be honest the results have been mixed, in my opinion it has
been a bit of the case of more style over substance so far…but I have been very
hopeful that this will change. Ten being my choice to enjoy for a wide variety
of wines and spirits with great finger food and a busy night life over the week
and especially on the weekends. There is a dress code, this is definitely a
stylish establishment and not my reco if you are looking forward to a quiet
night. The wine list is very strong and diverse with VQA, Australia and Italian
wines being showcased very well, they were awarded the Wine Spectator Award in
2012 for their selection. Here's a comprehensive review from a friend Stella a.k.a <a href="https://twitter.com/foodieyu" target="_blank">@Foodieyu</a> on twitter and her amazing <a href="http://www.foodjunkiechronicles.net/2012/05/ten-restaurant-wine-bar.html" target="_blank">blog</a> Food Junkie Chronicles</span></span></div>

for AYCE sushi regardless if it is in the 905 or the 416.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The sushi and the service has always been
consistently good. The restaurant is traditionally decorated with a modern
twist, the menu selections cover the gamut of sashimi, rolls to cooked
favourties. Reservations are taken with larger groups and I would highly
recommend that you do as seating is limited and this place does do brisk
business. </span></span></div>

unique gem of a restaurant has been a fixture in Mississauga for as long as I
can remember. The Port Credit area has gone through a very serious and intense
revitalization, tourism increases every year and the Thai by the Lake has been
witness to all these changes and more.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I
don’t have much to say except that if you like authentic Thai/Viet cuisine, you
must visit! It is truly that good! There are a few locations listed on their
website but I can only reco the Lakeshore location. Give them a try you will
not be disappointed, at last update I believe that the renovations have been
completed and I believe that there is a roof top patio…I will have to check
this out asap!</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Located near the
heart of Mississauga is Emerald Chinese Cusine, probably the most popular
Cantonese restaurant in the 905 area code.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I have been here on numerous occasions, well known specifically for
their Dim Sum and a very noisey dinning room and long line-ups this place is
not for the uninitiated.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It can be quite
daunting to come late into Dim Sum service, however, if you are like me and
prefer to come early, enjoy a cup of jasmine tea, read the paper and wait for
the chefs to come in to open the full menu at 11am than yes, it can be very enjoyable.
Let me explain, the kitchen is open and will steam everything thing and
anything on the Dim Sum menu but if your cravings lean towards fried noodles
and the like…you will have to time your visit to grab a table just before the
full menu is opened. The Dim Sum is good, not excellent but most definitely
some of the best that you can get in Mississauga. </span></span></div>

treatment if you become a regular.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">This is a secret gem that many who have lived in Mississauga for
years do not know about.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is a small
cluster of restaurants in an otherwise under-used plaza on Dixie Road south of
Eglington. But, those who have ventured and discovered this small food court
have loved it. The food tastes range from Korean, Japanese, Chinese vegetarian
to Wonderful Cantonese cooking. Each stall vying for your business, making the
quality of food surprisingly good. It is probably the busiest part of the mall
especially on weekends.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I have been
visiting this location over the years and will actually drive from Etobicoke
and have a meal from time to time. A must visit…please keep this place a secret
between us as I would hate to have to fight for a table with you. Just
kidding….</span></span></div>

awesome spring rolls right in front of you.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>What makes this place special?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The Dim Sum are cooked to order, steamed to perfection and served to you
without any pretention.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This place is as
basic as you can imagine…Styrofoam plates, squeeze bottles of hotsauce and
bottles of soya sauce from the serve yourself fridge are what’s in order.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But the food makes up for it all and the
price is to die for…it is beyond cheap.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>One caveat, don’t come expecting noodles or a very wide assortment of
Dim Sum, but what they have on offer is the best you can get, fresh and
hot.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They are also a Chinese bun bakery,
go for the baked BBQ Pork Bun, without a doubt the best I’ve ever had.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They sell out everyday.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Come here for the Dim Sum and leave with
their buns and frozen Dim Sum for you to try to steam at home on your own!</span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Why this
place?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Good freshly steamed Dim Sum,
restaurant quality wholesale prices and of course the baked BBQ Pork Buns!</span></span></div>

<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Admittely, I
haven’t been here in quite sometime so I had to refer to other reviews to see
if my memories have served me correctly.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>What I can tell you is that my Parents like this place and I used to as
well. Sam Woo has the best BBQ Meat, Roasted Pork with Crispy Skin, Soya Sauce
Chicken and Roasted Duck in the city.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I
have had their Dim Sum here in the past, I can’t really say that it stood out
but many people will tell you it is still very good.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What I do love is their selection of late
night food, their Roasted Duck and Noodles in soup is devine, their Wonton
Noodle Soup is a fave, their stir-fried noodles and congee are excellent. Not
too expensive especially if you go in a group, which I strongly believe is the
best way to experience Chinese food as it gives you an opportunity to try more
stuff.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This place can get busy, Dim Sum
in particular so plan ahead.</span></span></div>

Heck, even in the Winter I still think it's BBQ Season, looking for a few hints on how to make the perfect grilled anything? Well, you have found a pretty great place to learn how. Over the next few post I'll be going over some basics to help you through some BBQ basics to keep all year round!</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Today, we will begin with grilled vegetables. Simple, easy and quick.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyaeDll3hPmOwv2-V1w1L3LsqxJkqyg5DuVmWBNUaV8bib-WkAQOwve4Z8rzmG81USFcOJz-go5550wlvaUQol2fvrvyZvhPOHPxNK2mRVA7F2nYka2LJCvr23AAv_ANylJLJXz7OcYjLA/s1600/grilled+veg.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyaeDll3hPmOwv2-V1w1L3LsqxJkqyg5DuVmWBNUaV8bib-WkAQOwve4Z8rzmG81USFcOJz-go5550wlvaUQol2fvrvyZvhPOHPxNK2mRVA7F2nYka2LJCvr23AAv_ANylJLJXz7OcYjLA/s1600/grilled+veg.jpg" /></a></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Adding grilled vegetables to your repertoire on the BBQ is simple and a great way to add variety to your diet. Salads are lovely and should be part of any BBQ but I think that grilled vegetables are a great addition not to be overlooked.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">When you are planning to head out to your local grocer or farmer's market keep grilled veg in mind. I would suggest the following on the grill anytime: asparagus, eggplant, mushrooms, peppers and a many more. Once you have them back at home and are ready to cook. Treat them like you would any great piece of meat. Marinating them will boost their flavour, make it easier for you to cook and will make any dinner guest or family member drool with anticipation.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Olive Oil</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Minced Garlic</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Thyme - Fresh or Dried</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Balsamic Vinegar</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Worcester Sauce</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Cracked Black Pepper</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Kosher Salt</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b>Hints</b></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Eggplant and Mushrooms are like sponges they absorb olive oils and other flavouring very readily. Make sure to use enough so that they cook easily.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Use Zip-Lock Bags for marinating purposes.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Cut the vegetables in to pieces that will help in aiding you to cook them uniformly.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Do not mix vegetables with meat in the same marinade - this could lead to food borne illness.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">ENJOY!</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></span>

is a whole world that many people don’t know about…while you are comfortable in
your bed dreaming your dreams an entire workforce of people are busy creating
and working away. Many of the things that we take for granted that are bought
and sold everyday somehow just appear without a second thought about how it got
there and who makes it...now I am not saying that we should reflect on
everything that comes to us on daily basis, but I think that sometimes we
should all just take a moment and appreciate the ease in which these things
come about.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Bodoni MT","serif";">Let
me paint you a picture. It’s past
midnight and in a small local artisan store, there is a buzz emanating from
within, the lights are off but there is a glow coming from the basement. The
sounds of mechanical equipment, the hum of someone giving instructions and the
faint sounds of a small radio playing classic rock fills the space and at once
completes the picture. It is what I see in
my mind’s eye as I have imagined what it would be like to be a night owl
perched in a tree watching a small local bakery store produce some really
wonderful good eats. A romatic view? I
suppose, but one that I am certain isn’t too far off. Working the night shift
is something that I have done myself…I feel that it is best to refer to that
part of my life and experiences through these rose coloured glasses, as
the reality is sometimes not nearly as pretty.
Let’s be honest, its tough work and I admire those who soldier on and
create something special that many take for granted. </span></span></div>

is simplicity to the store, a smell that brings you back to the country and the
good ole days…the Knead Bakery is a charming store that has from the very
moment of my first visit and forever more have a special place in my heart. The
bread is fantastic, the sweets are delish and the passion for this artform a true
labour of love. I am visiting afterhours
late at night to get a rare glimpse into the world of what it is like to create
all this deliciousness on a daily basis. Heather L is working yet another
double tending the store during the day and coming back into train her staff on
the in’s and out’s of creating some of the best bread in Toronto. Heather tells me, “that she truly loves what
she does.” Her dedication to the art of
making great bread is truly amazing, her knowledge, passion and will to working
as hard as she does is inspiring. I
think that in her sleeping hours, the few that she has she is constantly dreaming
up new ways to create bread…some of the combinations of flour, yeast,
ingredients are unique and the results speak for themselves. </span></span></div>

choose to photograph Heather in her element as I find it fascinating how she
does what she does. Being that I am a Chef, I have had my fair chance to make
bread and pastries. It’s a mandatory course requirement, but honestly, I don’t
have the aptitude to be a good baker…it’s all about precision something that
I’m not about...well at least when it comes to baking. It truly is unique that Heather combines
maths, formulas and precise measurements to produce an end product that dare I
say it…has a soul. It isn’t just bread or a pull a part cinnamon, apple and
raisin loaf…you can taste the care, the thought and the love that went into
making it…and I love that.</span></span></div>

a shame that in today’s society we are all so busy rushing around, being slaves
to the clock and our devices. That we
are constantly under the scrutiny of our individual productivity and how it counts
more than one’s quality of life. We here
in North America are always constantly on the perpetual treadmill or putting
the axe to the grindstone. In my heart,
I have always asked why? Why, can’t we be more like our European counterparts? They work, but they take great care to ensure that they have time to enjoy, the
simple things, good food, good family and great conversation…not so here I feel...it
is truly sad.</span></span></div>

I sit at my desk taking a moment to pause before I get down to the heart of
writing this blog post. I take time to reflect on the experience that I and my
fellow media took in tonight at RAKIA Bar.
It is this pause to reflect that has got me thinking, how refreshing it
is to sit, talk and relax with friends and enjoy each other’s company. Those of you, who know me and know of my
involvement with Diner en Blanc, know why I dedicate my time for such an event. It is in the very essence of my love for joie
de vivre that encouraged me to participate and found/host the Toronto event. RAKIA Bar located in the trendy up and coming
hood of Leslieville has at its core a laid back eurocentric mentality that is
sorely lacking in this rat race city. People
today are way too concerned with work, paying bills and bearing the bonds that
weigh each and every one of us down. In
my opinion, this has got to change; it is so refreshing to see this new
addition to our fair city. Here at Rakia
Bar, you are encouraged to come and stay awhile, sip and enjoy lovely artisanally
created fructose based spirits, that are as sophisticated to the nose as they
are to the palate. Along with the
sipping, there are the bites to accompany and accentuate these unique and
lovely brandies. The guys, who are
behind the movement of introducing Rakia wish to encourage you to come, chat and
stay awhile.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-CA" style="font-family: "Bodoni MT","serif";">What is Rakia? Rakia encompasses all types of fructose based
alcoholic spirits. The Rakia family includes
Eau-de-Vie, Calvados, Schnapps, Palinka Brandy, but by any name Rakia is a
social thread that connects the cultures of much of Europe. At the roots of many eastern European
cultures there is a form of Rakia. Mostly
created by using ingredients of what was readily available: the must of spent grapes, the abundance of
fruits and their regional climate. Individually,
each culture created their own form of “Rakia” but not necessarily specifically
known as Rakia – but it is in the similarities of the distillation methodology/consumption
that makes this a unified classification possible. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-CA" style="font-family: "Bodoni MT","serif";">Its popularity has spread all over from
France and heading into the heart of Eastern Europe – Rakia has flourished not exclusively
with the upper class but will all classes. The New York Times describes it as, “Fruit’s
essence captured in a bottle.” Rakia is
an all-natural, artisan distilled fruit-spirit that is meant to be sipped,
savoured and contemplated. It is the traditional offering that one receives as
a guest in one’s house, usually accompanied with a small taste of whatever is
available.</span></span></div>

unique formula that sticks to the traditions of Eastern Europe but have
incorporated twists to cater to our North American sensibilities in terms of
cocktails and a lovely menu. Having the opportunity to have been invited to the
media event hosted by Mary Luz and her company Sizzling Communications, I
experienced a great detailed education into the world and craftsmanship of what
makes fine artisanal quality Rakia. I wish to thank them; it was a lovely
evening and a truly enjoyable event. I will most certainly want to share this

Bar is a truly unique Toronto feature. It is at its very essence a meeting
point where one can come after work, meet old friends or make new ones, enjoy
food and Rakia and reflect on the day in a lovely atmosphere. Rakia and Food
are inextricably linked and is at the heart of how it is meant to be consumed.
Rakia Bar’s kitchen is proficient and is a hub of activity as Chef Brook
Kavanagh creates dishes inspired by the bar/salon culture of Central and
Eastern Europe fused with Canadian sensibilities especially in their brunch
items.</span></span></div>

have to admit that I have yet to enjoy a full meal of the Eastern European inspired
menu. From what I have seen, their food
will impress. They offer a brunch on the
weekend and a full menu throughout the week for dinner. But what I can say with certainty is that the
guys are as passionate about their food as they are about Rakia. You can hear it in the voice and soul when
you discuss their food, I will most definitely be having a meal sometime very
soon, brunch (which I love) in particular. I’m really excited
about their brunch which sounded absolutely magnificent. What I can and will rave about are the mezze
that they prepared to accompany each of the individual Rakia’s for the tasting.
They were delish and complemented each of the different flavours either by
enhancing/contrasting the Rakia. </span></span></div>

times, the flavours that came out of the combination struck me as a revelation

my senses. It was truly an epiphany that
I had not up till then experienced as it relates to spirits. Never have I ever experienced such a complexity
of taste, clean on the tongue, smoothness in throat and warmth all at once, it
has left me craving. Incredible!</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I would like to extend a personal thanks to the creator of
the Grilled Cheese Sandwich. I think that we all owe a deep sense of gratitude
to it’s creator…ummmm….we actually do not know who invented the grilled cheese
sandwich. That is truly a shame! However, most food historians can generally
agree that the combination of cooked bread and cheese were indeed ancient foods
known across many continents and wide ranging cultures. The earliest reference of these types of
sandwich have been found in ancient Roman cookbooks, therefore it is generally
accepted that the modern grilled cheese descended from these ancient roots. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Fast forward to modern times, the question of who invented
the modern incarnation of grilled cheese as we know and love today is still
unknown. But, culinary evidence suggests
that the modern grilled cheese sandwich was first served back in the late 1920s. With the advent of affordable process cheese
and sandwich bread to hit the American market and the government issued
cookbooks sharing grilled cheese recipes that were used on WWII ships to feed
the troops, this documented proof makes it clear that it was around this era.
It wasn’t too long afterwards that school cafeterias across the nation began
serving these tasty, inexpensive sandwiches to students of every grade. The
usual accompaniment…Tomato soup out of a can! What a classic combination! Which is still
very popular to this day, my OH my how things have changed!</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Nowadays, grilled cheese is big business and has gone gourmet…and
I love it. There are as many ways and methods to slap two pieces of bread
around some gorgeous cheese and make it taste so good. What is incredible, no matter how you dress it
up…it still feeds the soul. It is and
always will be the ultimate comfort food.
This brings me to this year’s The Grate Canadian Grilled Cheese Cook-Off
2012! Sponsored by the Dairy Farmers of Canada, it is a culinary competition
focusing on Great Chefs, Great Innovation, Great Fun and most importantly Great
Cheese! </span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The competition was fast and furious, each Chef showcasing
two sandwiches each in head to head competition. It was very clear to me that
their culinary influences and geographic diversity played crucial roles in how
they each envisioned their culinary creations.
No one was holding back and there were bragging rights on the line. As a Chef myself, nobody wants to be second
best….or first loser. So it was all fun and games but you can tell lots of
thought and execution went into their creations.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">As serious as the competition was, the caliber of judges at
The Grate Canadian Grilled Cheese Cook-Off were a who’s who of the gourmet
elite in Canada. Judges were hand-picked for their expertise in Cheese of all
kinds and most importantly for the love of Cheese. This year’s judges
included: Elizabeth Baird a Canadian culinary
icon, Sue Riedl – Globe & Mail Life Writer and creator of the blog Cheese
and Toast, Rita DeMontis – National Food
Editor & Toronto Sun Lifestyle Editor and the Big Cheese himself Kevin
Durkee – Restaurateur and Owner of <a href="http://www.cheesewerks.ca/" target="_blank">Cheesewerks</a>. What an esteemed panel…the
Chefs job was definitely going to be hard taking into consideration the level
of expectation each of the judging panel will hold them to.</span></span></div>

presentation, flavours and uniqueness to offering both a savoury and a sweet
dessert grilled cheese creation. They both looked stunning and the smells
wafting in the air were in a word intoxicating! Well done Jason!</span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">The
Niagara region brings together some of chef Jason Bangerter’s favourite
things...grapes and cheese. They are the perfect pair. Niagara Gold is a
delicious cheese with nutty notes and a lovely texture. The saltiness of the
prosciutto and the sweet and sour pop of the pickled grapes make for a very
satisfying cheesy treat.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Memories are a powerful reminder of
how things used to be. They can help enhance and reinforce good times in one’s
past. When I was a kid, just old enough to go out on my own trips of discovery
in Toronto. I discovered Mr. Greenjeans at the Eaton Centre and had many a good
time with friends having burgers, shakes and all sort of homey goodness. Time
has passed and many things have changed since those days but Mr. Greenjeans is
still a great reminder of how things use to be. As part of their 32<sup>nd</sup> Birthday
Celebration I was asked to come and rediscover and take a walk down memory lane
and have a nice meal at one of Toronto’s most nostalgic favourites. </span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I hadn’t visited in a quite a long
time but Mr. Greenjeans looks haven’t changed much from my fond memories. We
got the choice to sit in the atrium portion of the restaurant which was lovely
and airy. Our server was very pleasant and very friendly. Just like how I
remembered it to be…the music playing retro hits was a great way to spark
conversations amongst my friends and I. Many times it felt as if I were back in
high school again…that was a great fun. Got all of us harking for the good ole
days. </span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Taking the advice of our server and
our personal cravings we ordered a variety of favourites and classic menu
items. Everything from Crab Cakes, Wings
and Calamari to start were on order…I think everybody loves calamari…well at
least we do! We also ordered a
variety of drinks ranging from a really well done Spicy Caesar, Peach Pit, Blue
Gummy Bear Martini to a Classic Vanilla Float….oh yes! </span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The drinks and starters came promptly
and we were happy with everything. To be honest, this is not fine dining but it
isn't reasonable to expect that level of cuisine. The stand out was the Wings and
Calamari which were done well and the portion sizes where as we had remembered…on
the large side, which was great because we were hungry!</span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">We had some time in between courses to
look at the menu and talk about our past experiences at Mr. Greenjeans…the
common theme that kept on coming up was how fun the place used to be and still
is. The food was always known for its generous portions and diner classics like
burgers, shakes and wings. These where good then and I am happy to report that
they are still good to this day. </span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">We ordered a few mains including their
Perfection Burger and their stuffed Chicken Supreme and a Spinach salad to give
some semblance of a healthy meal…please note that the salad was served with a
warm BACON dressing. The fact that I
could order the burger my way was a very nice touch…I believe that more
restaurants should take colours on their burgers. I ordered mines with a smile
hoping for a nice medium done burger…happily, it came just that way.
Impressive. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Did we have enough space for
dessert? At first it was like…I can’t
eat anymore….but the server tempted us with a few that were delish and
lovely. We ordered a classic Crème Brulee
with fresh strawberries and a Monsterous Choco-Fudge-Brownie dessert that was
beyond our expectations. It wasn’t on the regular menu but on their special
Birthday Menu…I firmly believe that this could and should replace their current
offering of chocolate on their full menu. That’s my 2cents. Anyways, it was very
nice way to end the meal.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Memories have a powerful influence over
people, that being said, Mr. Greenjeans is one of those establishments that
draws on those feelings of the past, happy thoughts and childhood experiences
and does it well. To be realistic the food was pretty average, but I
can say that we enjoyed our visit, it was really nice taking a trip down memory
lane. </span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Excellence, is a tough word to define as it relates to the
culinary world. Can it be found in the beautiful plating of foie gras custard
in a delicate intricate pattern? Or, can it be illustrated in the use of an
ingredient picked at its peak perfection and treated simply? In my opinion it must be both. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Let me explain, in order to achieve excellence which should
be the goal of every restaurant. Well at least it should be their goal to strive for it. Cause without it…or the
striving of it…they would cease to exist or even worse, they would cease to be memorable. In this cut throat world that is the restaurant business, the worst thing that could possibly happen to you is for you to be easily forgotten.
As is very obvious and evidenced by the numerous restaurants that have
come and gone the way of the Dodo bird…</span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">To describe a restaurant as EXCELLENT…it is a hard and daunting word for
me to use when describing my culinary experiences. It is NOT a word that I toss around
lightly…the reality is that excellence is fleeting but not a myth. It is very hard to attain and can be so easily lost. Many restaurants go through peaks and valleys
and a guests may visit at the wrong time…it happens to all establishments. But,
the goal should be there to challenge and inspire! I am not a food snob, far
from it…I enjoy food as much, if not more than the next fellow be it a burger joint or a michellin stared restaurant in Spain. I am always
open to any and all experiences fine dining or not and will think within that
framework of what I am experiencing. It is not fair nor even an easy comparison
to hold one against the other and judge which is better.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">On a recent road trip to Niagara on the Lake, I had the
pleasure of dinning with great friends at one such restaurant which I believe
you will agree strives for excellence and in my opinion achieves it in spades.
The restaurant in question is Treadwells Farm to Table Cuisine in Old Port
Dalhousie. Executive Chef and Owner Stephen Treadwell is the true mark of what
heart and soul looks like on a plate. It
is very evident that he and his brigade strive for this in his culinary creations
and more importantly his tastes. Further, Front of the house Manager and
Co-Owner James Treadwell leads their team and provides flawless service and
knowledge of Wines, Food and Overall atmosphere. Happily this is a partnership
that works very well together. </span></div>

by the end you will see that I would just end up gushing over and over about
how much this establishment hit every note and left us all very satisfied. I
will let the photos tell the story, making comments as you go along. I will
just say that if you consider what was experienced at Treadwells in terms of
location, service, ingredients and culinary magic, you must put this place on
your foodie bucketlist. It is truly that EXCELLENT!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">Along with my passion for food that I started since I was a kid growing up and learning to cook from my Father. I also developed a love and passion for travel. My day job allows for me to put aside time and funds to let me set out and fill my soul with wonderful experiences near and far. I thought to myself....self would it not make sense to combine my passions for food and travel together...the answer a resounding YES! </span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">The Black Walnut
Manor is a beautiful boutique B & B located in Vineland, Ontario.The owner operators
Carole and Mike are the consummate hosts attending to every detail to make your
stay as enjoyable as possible. Upon
our arrival we were struck by the quaint surroundings, the lovely pool, the
beauty of the suites and the food.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Carole is
magnificent in the kitchen, the food that she creates for her guests is
mostly
locally sourced and presented simply and is very tasty. You can tell
that she
has a passion for food and has a definite flair for presentation. The
food that Carole prepared for us on our visit was lovingly prepared,
delicious and very satisfying. The rooms are decorated in various styles but are all elegant, comfortable and luxurious. With orchards, farms and wineries so close by I think the only tough choice you will have to make on your visit is which place to visit first? </span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">Ever since I was a young kid growing up in Mississauga, my parents have
always tried to put their spin on western food. One food that I enjoyed was
pizza a la my parents…thick and gooey good. It wasn’t a totally typical Italian
pizza but I loved it. Time passed and my taste buds have grown up, matured and
my love for pizza has just kept on growing! Throughout my university years it was what my
roommates and I lived on...just picturing the mountains of pizza boxes!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">Fast forward, as I went through culinary school and experienced different cuisines
from all over the world I learned the basics of how to make great pizza. I even
worked at a traditional pizzeria for a time and really learned the importance
of the crust, simplicity of toppings and the tradition behind pizza. My work
experience opened my eyes to the culinary world of Italy and inspired me to
travel. Having been to Venice, Rome, Pompeii, Sorrento and Naples…I can
honestly say I have a pretty good idea what real traditional pizza tastes like
and I love it. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">You would imagine that living
in Toronto, with its large Italian population finding traditional pizza like
back in the old country would be simple. You would be wrong. There are so many differing opinions on what makes
a good pizza is as there are stars in the sky. The latest addition to challenge for best pizza in Toronto opened in
The Annex and is called Famoso. On a recent visit to this new restaurant that
emphasizes tradition, adherence to quality traditional ingredients and great
taste it delivers on almost all counts. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><i>“Years ago, on a trip to Naples, we were introduced to the taste of
true Neapolitan pizza and the classic pizzeria. It awakened our pizza taste
buds and we just knew we had to share this with our friends and family back
home...at Famoso, our version is inspired by Neapolitan pizza in its truest
form, using Caputo ‘00’ flour, imported Campania tomatoes, fresh basil,
fior-di-latte, and a fire roasting bell-shaped oven.” </i></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">As the evening began, we were introduced to a unique way to order, we
were instructed to seat ourselves, menus available on the table and when ready
asked to order at a central counter.
This is a pretty brilliant method to ordering, it ensures speedy
service, I can see this being a hit with the hectic lunch crowds. Your order is
brought to your table and any follow-up is via the server. This was a new way
to do things and I liked it. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;">We started our meal with a few drinks an Aperol Spritz, Lemoncello
Martini and a lovely Mojito.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">Then our starters came from our server and we were immediately
impressed with the selection. We received
an order of Roasted Kalamata Olives, lovely marinated kalamata olives garnished
with oregano, feta and chilies. What surprised us was what a punch of flavour
is created with the simple action of roasting them and serving them warm. The
flatbread was stellar, seasoned and warm and oh so good!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">We ordered a series of salads and they were fresh, flavourful and
generous. We ordered a traditional Caesar salad with prosciutto crisps instead
of bacon. This we liked. We also ordered a Gorgonzola Walnut Salad and one of
their signature salads the Blackberry Arugula Salad. As with the Caesar we
liked all of their offerings and would most definitely order any one of them again.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">As with many restaurants that I visit I look for that one standout
appetizer that is a must have. At Famoso, I highly recommend the Prosciutto
Wrapped Mozzarella Balls. These little tasty bits are perfect for sharing with
your dinner guests. Fresh mozzarella
wrapped with prosciutto, baked in Campania tomato sauce, fresh basil and
pecorino romano cheese served with warm flat bread! If you love gooey cheese
and the salty goodness of prosciutto you gotta have this. Divine!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">Now, getting down to the business of things…the pizza. This is after
all why we are all here. The menu is
broken into two principle categories Traditional and New World. Yes, I know
that they emphasize tradition…you wonder why they would offer New World Pizza? A
purists would shudder and even turn their back to even the remote suggestion of
anything not tradition…I’m not certain, all I can think is that they are trying
to satisfy a world of tastes of all kinds.
Sometimes, traditional pizza with its minimal ingredients doesn’t
compute with more western tastes. But I
digress…on to what we ordered that night.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">We ordered a Funghi Tartufo a beautiful pizza consisting of roasted
white mushrooms, oyster mushrooms, white truffle oil, reggiano parmesan over a
beautiful tangy non-cooked tomato sauce. The sauce is perfect, simple, full of
flavour and authentic. The mushrooms are earthy and tasty, I love mushrooms on
pizza.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">Next, we ordered what I consider the ultimate test for any pizzeria
that boasts that they are the best…The Margherita. A traditional pizza named after Queen
Margherita of Italy in 1889. It is in its simplicity that makes this a
challenge. Fresh mozzarella, fresh basil, pecorino romano and extra virgin
olive oil. That’s it…no spicy sausage, no pineapple or grilled chicken.
Simplicity, simply beautiful. You can really tell the quality of the
ingredients, the tomato sauce is excellent, the mozzarella is stringy and
gooey, the pecorino provides a bit of a salty bite making this pizza a good
rendition. Not excellent but good. I would have preferred the crust to have
been baked just a touch longer. There was a bit of disappointment in the level
of sogginess in the centre and I believe that the basil was baked on top of the
pizza as opposed to how it should have been just added on its way to the table.
But it was tasty and good. The quality of the ingredients stood out, it is only
in the execution that I feel that the kitchen will have to tweak. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">The last pizza we tried was one that sparked all of our interest; it
falls into the New World pizza category. It was very popular amongst many that
were noshing down on delicious pizza and drinks. The San Andreas is a
Californian inspired pizza. Bianca sauce (white sauce), fresh mozzarella, and
chili-lime marinated roasted chicken. Baked, then topped with fresh avocado
slices, diced roma tomatoes, diced onion, cilantro, and drizzled with light
cream. It was in a word delicious! The traditional thin crust made with the ‘00’
flour blends well with the new world ingredients to make for one very tasty
pizza. This was a winner. I will order this again in a heartbeat. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"> As our pizzas were devoured our
thoughts turned to something sweet to finish our meals. We ordered a series of

just that good! </span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">Grilled cheese sandwiches are a big deal in Toronto. A VERY BIG deal! Trust me, I know. You see it when people are willing to attend a Food Truck Event, pay for parking and wait in line for over 2 hours for a grilled cheese sandwich, ya know we’re all crazy for grilled cheese! Today is a special day for us here at baguettes and butterscotch. We are extremely pleased to have an opportunity to do a Q & A with the pioneers of the grilled cheese revolution in Toronto.</span></div>

pies, baked goods, muffins, squares, cookies and I was her wee sous chef. In
1988, she purchased “<b>The Courtyard Tea
Room</b>” in Perth and it ran for 18 wonderful seasons. She was a fixture in
Perth, everyone knew her and the Tea Room - cottage goers, locals, and families

uncles and cousins from Jamaica; brother in law from Antigua. This of course means every family occasion is
filled with all types of cuisine from ox-tail to papaya salad & sticky rice
to roti to pho noodle soup. Growing up

<b>7. Who develops your sandwiches? Where
do you get your inspiration from?</b><br />
<br />
<i>We don’t have an executive chef or a big
production test kitchen someplace. We
get inspiration from our travels around the corner and around the world. We
live to eat and travel. Those great meals
and great culinary travels bring our menu to life. Take our HOUSTON Grilled
Cheese. Houston was the first place we
had a family-vacation with Taylor. Tons
of memories, tons of great meals. So we
took that inspiration and started to braise our own beef brisket, house-made
BBQ sauce, a bit of Texas – right here in Toronto. Same for our BEIJING Grilled Cheese. People thought we were crazy making a
cheese-centric Chinese item. But when
you taste the Asiago, with the BBQ Pork, slivered green onions, Hoisin grilled
on our signature Green Onion Potato bread.
It will change you. It’s so
good. And that Grilled Cheese was
inspired because we got married in 2008 and spent our honeymoon at the Olympics
in Beijing.</i></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Some of my fondest memories of my childhood have been centered
around the kitchen. Pots clanging, water whishing and splashing, the snap
crackle and tap of a wok being tossed in a small colonial L-shaped kitchen with
a double sink with a window above it. The figure working busily away wearing an
apron isn’t my Mom. It’s my Dad. Yeah, in my household this has always been the
case. I’ve read that in recent times that men are not only bringing home the
bacon, they are cooking it too more and more these days. I thought to myself…humpf…this is what my
Dad has been doing all along…what a trailblazer, what a trendsetter!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">Yeah, at a very young age many of the great bonding moments between
my Father and I have been kitchen lessons. Let me say a few things for the record just in
case my Mother reads this…my Mother IS also a good cook in her own right. It’s
just that her cooking style lends itself more towards the utilitarian side of
things. My Father cooks with love, passion and imagination, you can see it in
the food he cooks, the way he seasons things and the happiness that he gets
from the people who he cooks for. In other words, he cooks with the same
feelings that I do. I am my Father’s son…and I am so thankful for him to have
taught me his passion and style.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">My very first recollection in the kitchen was the day that
my Father first taught me how to cook rice. It’s simple now and I am sure many Chinese
kids grow up learning to cook rice at an early age. But for me, this opened my
eyes to a new world more exciting than after-school cartoons, homework and
hanging out with my Big Wheel Gang on our dead-end street in Mississauga. After my Father got home from work, I would be
in the kitchen ready to cook rice, listen to him, observe and eventually
emulate. I watched with an amazement as if he was a conductor of an orchestra,
adding oyster sauce - just a dash, adding garlic and then ginger, pinch of this and a
pinch of that. It was in a word awesome. The sights and the smells…oh the
smells were intoxicating. Gradually, as I got older, my Father taught me how to
use a Chinese clever and to curl my knuckles just so – in order to not to cut
myself. I learned how to slice ginger, to cut against the grain of meat to
ensure tenderness. These are all tricks I learned as a boy before I was even 13yrs
old. At a young age, I knew how to
season meat, dice vegetables, sauté in a cast iron wok and yes make rice. I
also learned that my Father cooked with such passion as a way to take care of
us and showed how much he loved us.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">Another memory that sticks out that revolves around food and
my Father and I was during a Summer BBQ. If you follow my blog, you will see that I
love to BBQ and have written many posts revolving around this great activity. My Mother is and has always been a social
butterfly. She loves to entertain! Her summer parties have become the stuff of
legend – just in the past two weeks she has had almost 100 people over for
dinner! It was at one of these parties
that my Father passed on the torch to me and taught me the ways of the BBQ. By
this time, I was a young teenager and had gained a pretty good repertoire under
my belt in the kitchen but never really got to the grill outside. This was and
sometimes still is my Fathers kingdom. Beer
in one hand, kitchen tongs in the other, it was his ‘thing’ at these parties. He relished hanging out with the men that
came with their wives to my Mother’s parties. Didn’t realize at the time this
was called Male-bonding but it was. He relished these times and he always laughed the loudest, shared a
joke or two and had a great smile during these parties. I loved watching him in his element.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">But the day came and it was at one of these parties, as he was prepping for a
party. He came up to me and placed me in front of the BBQ grill. He showed me how to start the fire, taught me
about hotspots, taught me about the marinade and other important grilling hints
that I have kept with me to this day. He told me that he wanted me to not just
watch anymore, he wanted me to do. It
was a benchmark moment in our relationship.
A passing of a torch if you would, between Father to the Son and has on occasion
sparked many a conversation as to who does the better BBQ? We can get pretty competitive,
trying to outdo the other but it is always in good fun. Now that I’m older, he and I can share a
beer, tongs in my hand and a book in his while I cook in front of the BBQ. It’s
funny to mention that even just as recently as last week he had the nerve to
say that his was still best…oh well. He is the master and I always the young
apprentice. Between you and I, I still think my Father makes a pretty darn good BBQ…just
don’t let him hear me say it!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">That’s my Father, in a nutshell. Passionate cook, lover of
food and his family. To this day, he goes to market every day, sources out the
freshest meat, vegetable and fruits, takes them home and cooks for his
family. When I have my own family to
take care of, I can only hope to aspire to be just like him.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">

I think that it is a wonderful idea that highlights a social change in the dynamics of everyday home life. Speaking from my own experience my Father has always been very active in the kitchen and has inspired me to love food as much as I do. He would be the one who does the grocery shopping visiting markets daily to find the best and freshest goodeats! It was his passion that was key to spreading the love of food to my Sister and Myself.

<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<b><span style="font-size: small;">A little bit about <span style="color: #b6d7a8;">fiesta farms - food matters</span></span></b><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Philosophy</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">We sell things people need. Food, beverages, cleaning
supplies. But most Fiesta customers get more from their visits than a
ticked off shopping list. They get a chance to vote for what matters
to them with their dollars.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Over time, we’ve developed relationships with a range of folks for
whom food matters on personal, political, cultural, artistic and
artisanal levels. And we’re good with that.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">We’re a family-run business in a progressive, multicultural
city centre and we partner with producers to stock what people are
interested in buying.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">What are people interested in buying these days?</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">People are buying stuff that was produced and or created in
Ontario. But also those unique reminders of where we came from. They’re
buying organic. They’re buying new and old fashioned cuts of meats,
and indeed, meat products you’d expect to find at specialty shops.
They’re buying innovative offerings from local entrepreneurs and
they’re buying more eco-friendly cleaning products.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">People also buy less healthy nostalgic favourites, and the staples
they need to run their lives. We stock the brands you’ll find at
supermarket chains, but we also make it easier to make better
choices in every aisle and on every shelf.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">We do this by partnering with Organizations like <a href="http://www.localfoodplus.ca/" title="Local Food Plus">Local Food Plus</a>. We’re committed to stocking a range of <a href="http://localfoodplus.ca/buy-to-vote/where-to-buy" title="Local Food Plus Certified products"><span class="caps">LFP</span> Certified Local Sustainable</a>
items and letting our customers know about them because we believe in
building community and local sustainable food systems, and that <span class="caps">LFP</span> can make it easier to do.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">We do it by partnering with important organizations like <a href="http://www.thestop.org/" title="The Stop">The Stop</a> and <a href="http://thenewfarm.ca/" title="The New Farm">The New Farm</a> on our <a href="http://fiestafarms.ca/281/food/the-new-farm-at-fiesta-farms" title="Grow for the Stop">Grow for The Stop</a> initiative.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">We do it by supporting entrepreneurs because evolution and innovation are as important <b>Food Matters </b>as history and culture.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">And we’re going to keep on finding ways to help you celebrate the many ways in which food matters to us all.</span></div>

There's a Portuguese place next to my office. I can see it from my work window. I stare at it longingly at times. Not because of the great Shish Kabob Special at lunch hour, the <span class="st">bacalhau</span> or even the Bitoque with fried egg. No, not for these reasons do I stare longingly. It isn't even the wine, the great look of the place nor the patio. It's all in the name of their salad. I've got it! I cracked to code, I've broken down their recipe item by item, lettuce by lettuce. I know now that I don't have to pay what I do to take one home with me after work, as I often have in the past. Let me share this with you and I think you will agree it's simple yet brilliant.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDp20qTGADIPZdHs7QRaJo85LbbBr2pwm9FEiS2w8nB9dNXhIKVaxQJVM-QO4jPRRHYrzemdIJp7YDK2rPbYxsOxId_yCiH560_xUSrbOc_V24y57c-Pdcn2u4pdGhe5mKlftgkW93YNdT/s1600/fave+salad.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDp20qTGADIPZdHs7QRaJo85LbbBr2pwm9FEiS2w8nB9dNXhIKVaxQJVM-QO4jPRRHYrzemdIJp7YDK2rPbYxsOxId_yCiH560_xUSrbOc_V24y57c-Pdcn2u4pdGhe5mKlftgkW93YNdT/s1600/fave+salad.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<b>The Salad</b></div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
Green Leaf Lettuce & Read Leaf Lettuce Ratio 2:1</div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
English Cucumber - 1 peeled (very important)</div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
Dried Cranberries - 1 handful</div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
Onion - Red is best but white will do just as well</div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
Kosher Salt - pinch</div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
Black Pepper - Fresh cracked</div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
Ripe Tomatoes - Do not use Roma's</div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
Coriander - Rough chopped</div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<b>Hints:</b></div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
Use a salad spinner, they are a godsend..have had an OXO good grips one since culinary school and it has never failed me.</div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
Tear your lettuce do not cut it.</div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
The cucumber must be peeled, I don't know why it just tastes better in this salad.</div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
Rinse the onion under cold water before you add them to the salad. It helps with the pungency of the onion.<br />
I love the cranberries, it adds a nice sweetness to the salad.<br />
Always season your salads even if you add dressing. </div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</div>
<b><br /></b><br />
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<b>Lemon White Wine Vinaigrette</b></div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
Quality Olive Oil </div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
White Wine Vinegar</div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
White Wine</div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
Lemon 1 juiced </div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
Garlic 1 clove</div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
Kosher Salt</div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
White pepper</div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
Honey<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Here's another <a href="http://baguettesandbutterscotch.blogspot.ca/2012/06/wild-mushroom-and-bean-salad-vegan.html" target="_blank">recipe</a> that you can use this dressing. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<b>Methodology</b></div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
Make sure that in all salad dressings use the ratio of 2 - 3 parts oil to 1 part flavourings. You can't go wrong. I personally like the ratio 2 - 1 for my dressings.</div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
So 2 parts good quality fruity olive oil to 1 part White wine vinegar & juice of 1 lemon</div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
Splash of White Wine, add garlic clove</div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
Using a hand blender on high for 30 seconds or less puree the mixture</div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
Add the honey, pepper and salt to taste.</div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">As many of you know from reading my blog posts I am an unadulterated carnivore. I love my salads and vegetables too...but in my heart. I am a carnivore. But, as I love to cook and have had to cater to all diets both in my past professional life, with friends, past girlfriends and family members. I thought that I would share one of my favourite vegan dishes. I actually love this dish very much and would prepare this for myself anytime. Note: there are ways to modify this dish to make it a non-vegan dish, I would suggest seared tuna or in a pinch canned tuna in water would work.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;">What is a vegan? It is the strictest form of vegetarianism. There is no egg, cheese, fish etc. exceptions as some allow for it in their mainly vegetarian diets. Simply, <span class="st">a <i>vegetarian</i> who omits <b>all </b>animal products from the diet even butter (mon dieu!)...is considered a vegan. I am not here to judge which diet is better. Not my intention, but I only wish to say that vegan cuisine is delish, I have much experience with it and is a healthy choice when done as a balanced approach to a eating. </span>From a nutritional standpoint this dish is very balanced combining fresh ingredients vegetable, legumes - complete proteins and great taste. </span></div>

Although I think most Jews believe we are half Italian and half Chinese
my friend had never experienced "his chosen people"! We were lucky,
late maybe more like it, thankfully we actually didn't have to wait...1st
miracle! We were greeted and whisked to a seat. Nana was our server and
serve she did! I told her I had a newbie on my hands a</span><span class="text_exposed_show" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">nd was ready to indoctrinate him.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span class="text_exposed_show" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> For those of you who don't know Jewish food, it is a very hardy cuisine. It goes down easy and gets you in the end, every time! I ordered...for 2 people...ready for this?? One order of Kishka, intestines stuffed with bread
and smothered in gravy that is slightly spiced. Nana split it in half...honestly, it looks as though she gave us each an order! It came with a side of incredibly
fresh rye to sop up the gravy and to smother the next dish which was the Chopped liver with shmaltz and fried onions. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span class="text_exposed_show" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">For the non-initiated, this is a really livery pate with onions fried in chicken fat. Up next came my go to
favourite, eggs n'onions! Buttery, luscious eggs with more schmaltzy onions. Yes, there were a side of fries that Nick instinctively proceeded to dip into the aforementioned kishka gravy. Last of the savouries was a fatty, yes <b>fatty </b>
Old fashioned, hand sliced perfect deli sandwich. If you are eating deli <u><i>go
fatty or eat tuna</i></u>! All this was washed down with Vernor's gingerale and a Cott's Black Cherry soda.</span></span><br />

Tacos, tacos and even more tacos. The phenomenon of food trucks and remarkable little establishments such as El Trompo have revitalized Toronto's taste buds for this simple yet delicious street food. I visited this little hole in the wall based upon the recommendation of Suresh Doss of <a href="http://www.spotlighttoronto.com/" target="_blank">Spotlight Toronto</a> and Food Truck Eats fame. I will forever be in his debt for sharing this little place with me. The service was snappy in a good way. The food was awesome and re-ignited my interest and love of Mexican food that I had only not too recently lost.</div>

Let me explain. In my travels, I have been to LA and I have even vacationed in Mexico and to be honest was not impressed with the flavours or lack thereof in the food. LA street markets and even haute cuisine restaurants all seemed to fall flat. Leaving my taste buds unimpressed. Now after visiting, El Trompo will forever be my first pick to satisfy my Mexican food cravings. I am reborn and truly excited with the food that they are creating. Take a look at these photos and I challenge you to disagree! El Trompo rocks...that is all. The best Mexican Taquitos in Toronto hands down. </div>

The Al Pastor is their specialty, it is a Mexican city inspired style taco. Pork and meat marinated in the traditional sauce. Served on a corn tortilla, coriander, onion and pineapple. Sweet, savory and spicy and very good eats! </div>

<span style="font-size: small;">I was truly impressed with the great flavours of the food that they are cooking at El Trompo. The staff was brilliant and very friendly. They were all very proud of the food they produced. I loved it. If I had to make a suggestion. Go for the Tacos, they are stellar. The Guacamole was nice but a little out of line on price. The Salsa and Nachos were ordinary. I would grab another plate of tacos rather than going for an appetizer. That's my feeling anyways. Also, a note this place is almost always busy and sometimes you may have to wait. Patience...this place is worth it.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">When I started this blog I had someone give me gentle nudges to start this adventure. She knew that I loved food and photography equally. Which is to say that I LOVED BOTH a lot! She also thought that I could be a great source to speak and share food stories passionately and with a credibility that can only come from having been in the industry for years and knowing it inside and out. She was right. She did know me and I am forever going to be grateful for those nudges into this. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">Months have come and gone by so quickly since I last posted. What can I say about this time in my life and absence from my labour of love, is that so much has changed. Many times I have attempted to do a post yet, it has been so challenging to even look at my blog let alone sit and write a post. All I can say is that I am looking forwards to new beginnings and new experiences. I have had my heart crushed, my life turned upside down and have been put through the emotional meat grinder that is simply called life.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">I had promised that I would write from the heart, be open and honest to whomever came across my blog. I feel that I owe it to the people who have ventured out of their way to look here. But this will be the only post that I will ever dedicate to my past love that was my wife, Michelle. Unfortunately, we weren't meant to grow old together. It came to me as a huge surprise. She came up to me one day, ironically after doing a successful catering event and told me of her decision to leave and seek out a new life without me. It hurt, still hurts and I am certain will hurt for some time. At many times, I had inspiration to write but, I would not even be able to come and visit my own page, her photos are plastered all over the blog and it hurt too much to see them. She was my muse.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">It's been months if you are keeping track, October 2011 since I last posted. For those who have enjoyed and looked forwards to my food posts. I'm sorry that I have left this cold turkey. Over the months, I have gotten stronger and have been able to face the reality of moving onwards and upwards. I thank my friends and family for all their support be it in real life or out in the social media universe.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">That's all I want to say about this. I am ready to move forwards and share my explorations into what I consider great food and my passions as it relates to my life. Travel, Motorbikes, fishing, camping, good friends and awesome adventures. See you all out there! </span></div>
