Here's what Toronto food bloggers have been up to this week...
- Bon Eats - cabbage, in all its wonderful forms, is a staple of autumn. Bonita cooks up some sauerkraut and sausage.
- Dana McCauley - comfort foods varies by generation. The boomers like braised meat, while Xers are supposed to dig burgers.
- Ginger Rose - not every kitchen endeavour turns out perfectly the first time. Time for a good save!
- Gothic Epicures VinCuisine - Most of these are not available in Ontario, but Dean check out some wines from Nova Scotia, where winemakers are getting set to knock the socks off all those other wine regions.
- La Boheme Cherie - Cherie bids goodbye to summer with red currant vanilla squares.
- Mató and Maple Syrup - vegetables for breakfast - why not? Beats a PopTart.
- Memento Yummy - making dumplings.
- Save Your Fork - Does "local" have any meaning anymore?
- Seven Spoons - more vegetables for breakfast, this time it's brussels sprouts.
- Sift, Dust and Toss - Although we take issue with the non-word "recessionalicious", these basic Lebanese recipes are a good primer for anyone interested in Middle Eastern food.
- Sweet Things - can't make it to the cottage - one made from cake is the next best thing.
- Tasting Toronto - servers that gripe about poor tips are one thing, but crying "I'm a poor student" doesn't get you out of leaving an appropriate tip in the first place.
- Vegan Cookbook Critic - making vegan ice cream.
- The Vong Way - a list of BYO wine restaurants.
- What Smells So Good? - when the tomato harvest is poor, pick what you can and savour it.
I always say if you can't tip, you shouldn't be going out.
