What’s Cooking - Wednesday, October 31st

They’re all about Halloween at the Toronto Sun this week. There’s a piece on fairy food (food FOR fairies, not made from them… mmmm… tasty fairies), a suggestion for fondue on Halloween, and some tips for keeping the pounds off this Halloween. Here’s one - eat less candy. And some of the tips are counterintuitive. For instance, “buy your candy late” and “resist the sales”… that stuff is getting marked down today, because stores are hauling out the Christmas goodies tomorrow. I also like “go out on a full stomach” - a full stomach of candy!!
The feature article at the Toronto Star is Jennifer Bain’s interview with chef Masaharu Morimoto, who is in town to do a series of dinners with Guy Rubino at rain, where he plans to turn expectations on their head.
Morimoto scoffs at purists who obsess over notions of authenticity. Japanese food embraces soy sauce, sake, tofu and ramen – all from China. Tempura-style fried foods likely came via Portugal. Curry rice has roots in India.
Also in the Star, Amy Pataki visits The Spotted Pig in NYC, Susan Sampson cooks up some caramel-apple pie, Josh Rubin reviews the recent Cask Days Festival at Volo, and look out - Jamie Oliver and Nigella Lawson will both be in town this month to do cookbook promos.
They’re featuring the humble egg over at the Globe and Mail this week; Heather Sokoloff looks at the renewed popularity of eggs in high-end dining. There’s also some statistics on battery cage egg production that should make everyone run for organic, and Haley Mick looks at the rising popularity of free-run and free-range eggs.
Also in the Globe, Keith Froggett discusses seasonal items such as squash soup, Alexandra Gill looks at the move by Chef Segar Kulasegarampillai from Toronto to Vancouver, and Beppi Crosariol writes about the resurgence in popularity of South African wines.

Hi,
The link for “Keith Froggett discusses seasonal items such as squash soup” is wrong, it takes you to the battery-cage chicken story.
