I'll be relieving Sheryl of her Blog-A-Log writing duties so she can go out and have fun on Sundays and I can experience the wonderful world of Toronto food blogging.
I enjoy writing about food and reading about food, but mostly I like eating it! I'm originally from California and I love living in Toronto except for the fact that I haven't found any good California-style Mexican food here.
In addition to the Blog-A-Log, I write for Taste T.O. every other week.
At All Things Dolce, Sands speaks in praise of growing fresh mint, and has some suggestions for using it in teas and salads. This is a very seasonal post, I know that the mint I planted last month is really taking off now, and it’s still early enough to start some now for a bumper crop this summer.
On the newly redesigned Cream Puffs in Venice, Ivonne perhaps doesn’t share Sands’ enthusiasm for mint, as she ditches the mint when making cucumber sandwiches from Tracy Stern’s Tea Party. She substitutes her own chive butter and includes the recipe.
Brilynn from Jumbo Empanadas creates a very impressive puff pastry with caramel spun sugar as part of May’s Daring Bakers.
On Beer, Beats and Bites, Greg Clow has been a bad little blogger, neglecting his beer blog, but he plans to keep the blog alive by cross posting from his other sites, making it a sort of aggregator for Greg Clow beer reviews.
At Fear and Loathing in the Kitchen, Tracy doesn’t quite understand how Kelloggs was named One of the World’s Most Ethical Companies.
In the kitchen at Garlicster, Maria is baking up some Roasted Garlic and Parsley Baked Potatoes with produce she got at the Farmer’s Market on the north side of St. Lawrence Market.
At Blog From our Kitchen, EJM has been busy cooking up Spicy Cornmeal Muffins, Orange Date Muffins and Carrot cake.
Save Your Fork's Sheryl writes about the curious logic of Barry Glassner and his book The Gospel of Food, where he goes out of his way to defend McDonalds and has particular scorn for what he refers to as “food adventurers”; folks who make a point of searching out little hole-in-the-wall places with great food but no mainstream appeal. What, is it opposite day or something?
At Hooked on Heat, Meena has a Lesson on Lentils, which actually made confirmed old lentil hater me interested in giving them another try.
Hungry in Hogtown is hungry for caramel this week, musing about a childhood fondness for Kraft caramels and cooking up el Bulli's Cream and White Coffee Caramels.
In I Can’t Believe I’m back in Toronto, K-Chan enjoys eating at Izakaya but isn’t too keen on Sono Japanese Restaurant.
On Confessions of a Cardamom Addict, Jasmine’s friend ran off on a cruise ship and left her rotten bananas. Luckily, she’s got a solution, Banana Mango Cake.
Megan the Vegan went to Little India, ate at Udupi Palace and picked up some groceries including poppadums with a crazy looking rabbit on the package.
The Nutritionista serves up some Easy Potato Salad, a fabulous dish for Summer Barbecues.
And finally, Tara at Seven Spoons is hosting this week’s Sugar High Friday. The theme is many shades of white, and looking at the beautiful photos of each desert is making me crave some sugar.
