I’ve been waiting for this day since the last totally fabulous vegan bake-off in October of 2010, the 4th Totally Fabulous Vegan Bake-Off. This time, with my delightful co-pilot, JC. I was at a volunteer orientation for Social Media Week Toronto at the Entrinsic Office immediately before the bake-off event...

JC and I went to Hogtown Vegan for dinner on Tuesday. Now I feel as though I have to take everything negative I’ve ever said about them back. But no, my thoughts were valid at the time, but the improvements are substantial from the last time I was there. Our...

As I mentioned, yesterday I was playing with the idea of signing up for a sewing class. There is no avoiding it now, I’ve put down a deposit, and next week I’ll be there. Now I have to find some supplies before the class (or if I can’t/don’t find them,...

From the same folks that opened up Hot Beans in Kensington Market, The Hogtown Vegan (834 Bloor St W, Toronto, ON – Bloor @ Shaw) is a new vegan comfort food place near Ossington Subway station. That area is getting fantastic for vegan food options. Leaving Ossington Subway you have a...

Inconsistent hours, no air conditioning (though there are a couple of fans) and construction blocking your every move on the way in. Sounds great right? No but really, it is great. However, the first time we tried to go to E.L. Ruddy (1371 Dundas West, Toronto, ON,) we were stopped...

A week or so ago, a few friends and I went over to M & B Yummy in Parkdale (1263 Queen Street West, Toronto, ON.) I wasn’t sure anything would beat the awesomeness of Nazareth, but I kept my mind open and my belly hungry. It’s kind of easy to...
