It’s been an extended and restful holiday – with lots of good “cheer” (aka indulgence in every which way). I came across Jax Coconut Water when I was on a coconut water binge in New York. I would peruse aisles of bodegas and delis in search for the best of the best in the latest […]
Cooking with Liquor #CVcollective
I’ve always thought cooking with liquor was out of my league. Liquor offers a rich flavour and is typically used to create succulent sauces to accompany or even build a dish, but it seems sooo complex. My faves… any pasta a la vodka and veal Marsala – Neither of which I’ve attempted to cook on […]
The Henkaa Visit @ihearthenkaa
Okay, so I’ve been a bit of a bad kid lately and didn’t update this earlier on (it was mid October, yeesh Gloria). In any case, I stopped by to help Henkaa warm their brand new home at 117 Cartwright Avenue. I’m always in such awe of Joanna, CEO of the company, as she literally started from scratch […]

Resto Rundown: Wish Restaurant
Brunch is the ultimate weekend meal …Unless you are one of those people that is able to enjoy brunch on a weekday? [jealous]. My Sunday brunch date was with the *lovely* ladies of Urbanebloc – brunch is meant for good company – at Wish Restaurant (3 Charles Street, Toronto).
The Trendy Greek Yogurt
One of my favourite snacks as of late, the trendiest and tastiest Greek yogurt that’s low in fat and high in protein. It has a smooth, thick and rich consistency and you can immediately taste the decadent difference. Compared to regular yogurt, the Greek version is filtered to remove the whey and moisture which creates […]

So much deliciousnessness and sour in one place (oy vey – that Granny’s telling […]
