What’s Cooking – Monday, November 9th

cooking1Here's what's cooking around town today...

Not even Prince Charles can resist the amazing cheese from Monforte Dairy. [Toronto Sun]

Okay, so it's more about architecture than food and drink, but I'm reassured to see that I'm not the only one questioning the common sense of a 1-floor monster LCBO store at the corner of King & Spadina. You could put some very useful condos atop that space. Let's hope it's at least got a green roof. [Toronto Star]

When people gripe about how much work it is to bake bread, there's always a reality check; remember how they used to do it - on a woodburning stove. [Gremolata]

There's lots to do and see at the Royal, including butter sculptures and the House of Soy. [Toronto Life: Daily Dish]

And there's wine at the Royal with the annual Royal Wine Competition winners being announced last week. [Toronto Tasting Notes]

Cadbury, the UK chocolate company is still fending off hostile bid take-overs from Kraft. [Globe and Mail]

I'm surprised this doesn't happen more often give the heat, proximity to knives and the general temperament of many chefs - a stabbing in the kitchen of an Annex-area sushi restaurant. [National Post: Posted Toronto]

And in Food For Thought - chickens and roosters in the city, cheese in the UK, and rock icons on chocolate cakes. [Save Your Fork]
