Having just opened its doors in the beginning of 2011 this location of the Guu empire (another location in Toronto, six in Vancouver and one in China) has definitely taken the Annex by storm. Located a block east of Bloor and Bathurst this Japanese pub (Izakaya) is constantly busy and I can definitely understand why. The atmosphere is fantastic, the food is strange but definitely tasty and the staff is probably the friendliest around. I promise you won’t be leaving the venue disappointed.

“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. From what I understand, the imaginative and passionate kitchen staff of Marben are responsible for making nearly every single item that hits the table, right down to the bread and condiments. What makes things even better is the fact that most, if not all, of the produce and meats served are grown and purchased within 100km of Toronto, meaning guests are served the freshest ingredients, and local farmers are supported. Awesome!

Romagna Mia is closing its doors, on Sunday March 6th, after 14 years. Chef Gabriele Paganelli will be closing down and re-opening under a different menu and name, Paganelli’s Risotteria-Enoteca. Gabriele has decide to go out in style though, paying homage to the 1996 critically acclaimed movie Big Night. If anyone hasn’t heard of Big Night, or can’t remember it, allow me to refresh your memory.

It seems the world has gone breast milk crazy. Up until very recently, there was very little in the way of human breast milk products. Now, in the span of less then a month, I find myself writing yet another post on human breast milk.

Just thought we’d give good ol’ Cake Boss a run for his money… or try at least! The cake is completely edible, constructed from a simple chocolate génoise filled with chocolate buttercream…. oh and it feeds 30 people easily!

It’s close to supper and I’m looking thru old LCBO issues. Broiled apricots and blue cheese – some things in life are just uncomplicated.

This is one of those no-brainer foods and since I’m a vegetarian it’s a quick fix for an app.

Super simple recipe requires only a few ingredients and a little patience. Before you start, you need paper cupcake cups and a muffin tin (if the mini version of both is available it makes for a better size) and a pot of boiling water for your bain marie.
