Nadege Patisserie in Toronto

07.25.10

Have you ever had a very strong urge to overpay for mediocre products?!  Well if that’s the case, Nadege Patisserie (Queen West between Bathurst and Ossington) is the place for you. With clinically white walls and bare decor this cafe offers its patrons almost as much warmth as the Mental Health Ward of a hospital. A bare room, what could be considered a cheesy take on sleek and fairly dismissive staff are definitely the reasons that kept me away for so long but I finally took life into my own hands and decided to give it a try.

All tiramisu wishes it was Lime Thyme!

07.09.10

I was recently given the opportunity to create my own dessert for Ma Maison, the pastry shop where I’m currently employed and after many months of trial and error it’s finally out. With the guidance of the pastry chef and a very vague idea, Lime Thyme was born. It is our take on a traditional tiramisu with a lime cheesecake layered on top of a thyme white chocolate mousse. In order to make the dish complete we’ve included a lime lady finger to separate the two layers of bliss. We’re serving it in a rocks glass with chocolate covered Pop Rocks as a little bit of textural contrast to the smooth cake. I’m  also very happy to say that despite the skepticism this sweet was greeted with, it’s been doing quite well for itself and it does seem as though people aren’t that scared to try something new. I’ll keep you posted on what’s coming up next!

Strawberry picking

Our never ending quest to keep our diets as local and as natural as possible has brought us to Andrew’s Scenic Acres for some pick-your-own strawberries. It’s location just outside of Mississauga makes it one of the most accessible farms in the West end of Toronto and the place is definitely designed to attract the masses. They offer pony and tractor rides, tether ball courts and a severely busy ice cream stand. Also, lots and lots of parking, a winery, hot dog stand, refreshments, freshly baked “farm goods” and other amenities that ensure everyone has everything they need. It seems a little too commercial but they had beautiful strawberries that made up for the shortcomings.
