What’s Cooking – Monday, January 18th

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

The food desert in Flemingdon Park means people have to trek miles for groceries. Even more disturbing - the piles of really crass, insensitive comments. Sometimes my fellow citizens make me really ashamed. [Toronto Star]

Just because it's winter doesn't mean things aren't happening at the farmers' market. [Gremolata]

Having seen the UK Chicken Out series by Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall a few years back when it originally aired, I'm really chuffed that others in North America are finally getting the chance to see this ground-breaking series about factory-farmed chickens, and are getting angry about it. [Foodie and the Everyman]

Toronto Life takes umbrage with some suggested dining spots in a article about Toronto on the travel site eTurbo. But seriously, given the typos, spelling mistakes (including names of people and businesses), terrible grammar and generally ditzy writing style of the eTurbo article, you expected something that was actually concise? [Toronto Life: Daily Dish]

Thinking of apples. The association between food and memories is a strong one. [Well Preserved]

Wayne Roberts gives his thoughts on Britain's new food policy, and offers a much more optimistic view than some other media members. [Wayne Roberts]

The citrus fruit is all in season which means it's time for marmalade. [Toronto Tasting Notes]

And in Food For Thought - Gordon Ramsay loses a Michelin star, beer and chocolate pairings, getting over meat, and what's really in your fast food. [Save Your Fork]
