A month of food causes empty fridges and green oatmeal
So here is the honest truth, I don’t always eat adorable cupcakes or homemade sourdough pita bread. Sometimes I just eat cereal, toast or a couple of apples. I’m heading out of town on Saturday and have been out every night this week. These factors have lead to a fridge entirely void of interesting produce [...]
Reliable Resources
With just a couple of days left of Vegan MoFo I hope this month has proven to a be a huge source of culinary motivation. It has led me to try new ingredients, new recipes and new restaurants. This internet event has created the impetus for me to really celebrate the diversity of dishes that [...]
Dinner delights
Here is another quick post. At least this one has photos! I just got in from an amazing dinner party with some former colleagues. The party was in celebration of the retirement of my former manager.

Creating a Cookbook

I actually enjoyed a vegan mint-chocolate cupcake made by a friend last week. It was impressively light and sweet, but I [...]

Raw Celebrations
Today is my birthday. I will finally have to change my profile to read “31 years” old. This evening I was joined by my dearest friends at Live Organic Food Bar, a fantastic restaurant in Toronto. Doug Mcnish (chef extraordinaire) treated us to an amazing meal. I had raw Thai salad rolls, sangria and raw [...]
