Marben
“A little farmhouse revival” in downtown Toronto Earlier this month, I had the pleasure of being invited to dine at the Chef’s table at Marben, a cozy and cool restaurant specializing in the art of butchery and charcuterie.

The assembly line. A true invention of brilliance. One person in a line of many, doing one thing over and over all day long. Henry Ford introduced the world to mass produced efficiency.

Eat Your Colors
EAT YOUR COLOURS I really like colourful food ~ vibrant squash, heirloom tomatoes, black garlic, peppers, beans, salts (the list is endless). Germans call these truffle potatoes.

Epic Food Scan 3: Aspic Asteroid
Here we go with another food scan. This wonderful looking culinary asteroid is an aspic salad. While I do not doubt that the skill level required to make this epic creation is pretty high, the results are less then appetizing. Can you imagine getting a nice slice of this goodness?
