Here's what's cooking around town today...
Amateur mushroom growers have fun with fungi. But do it at home with the proper kits - no wandering into the woods and picking the weird ones. [Globe and Mail]
A detailed recap of last week's Whisky Live event. [Scotch Blog]
If a picture is worth a thousand words this one's gotta be worth at least a thousand dollars. The truffles are in store at the Cheese Boutique and they look amazing. Bet they taste even better. [A Blog of Cheese]
The evolution of the College Street strip from a business owner's perspective. [BlogTO] (Personal note - just want to say that I'm really glad BlogTO picked up writer Rick McGinnis - we're big fans of his writing here at TasteTO and always enjoy his stuff.)
I've never understood why the Canadian Culinary Book Awards seem to feature titles that are a couple of years old, but they roll around again next week, and many of the titles are worth checking out if you haven't already. [Toronto Sun]
And some of those authors will be onstage at the Royal Winter Fair to give readings. [Cuisine Canada Scene]
A round-up of all the new products to be found at the Grocery Innovations Expo. [Toronto Star]
Oh sweet merciful crap... Twitter is the hottest new diet tool, as people tweet what they eat so that other users can, presumably, guilt and berate them into feeling terrible about themselves if they fall off the wagon. [Globe and Mail]
Other stuff to do with your Halloween pumpkin, such as - give it to a grizzly bear. Funny, but probably not worth 9 minutes of your life unless you're really into bears. [Toronto Life Daily Dish]
Comparing grass-fed to corn-fed beef. Complete with cranky but on-point comments. [National Post The Appetizer]
Things that end up at the cottage; old dishes and the shotglass collection. (I'm guessing someone's wife/girlfriend/mother is very happy they don't have to dust all of those shotglasses.) [Well Preserved]
And today's Food For Thought: turkey take-over, there's no such thing as terroir, and a squabble over Meatless Mondays. [Save Your Fork]
