A Cookbook Review: Macaron
A little while back I received an invitation to a Macaron book launch. The book was the work of my two favourite Macaron makers in Montreal...Gaëlle and Johan Crop of La Maison du Macaron in the Plateau. At the book launch I met the PR team which was kind enough to...
Compulsive Shopping

Toronto Poutine?
I was just forwarded a link to an article about a restaurant chain in Toronto that serves exclusively poutine. Funny enough the person who sent it to me is a co-worker who lives in Toronto but spends every other month up in Montreal (lucky him!) This place is called...
Worldwind Exposure
****after I published this link like everywhere on earth a friend wrote saying:' Is it not spelled whirlwind?" Duh, blind moment...yes I wrote it wrong.*** Wow, when they say everything happens at the same time....they mean it. And over a 3 day period - in a row! Even...
Pequin pepper

These two recipes were the 'bonus' recipes of this month's Baker's Challenge over at The Daring Kitchen.....the challenging being cannoli if you read my posts a bit below. Now I did not make these bonus recipes but totally thought they are worth sharing. I also do...
