Cardinal Rule – Vegan Friendly Brunch in Roncevalles

Published date November 26, 2012

Cardinal Rule has been open since May 2011, and in that relatively short time they’ve won awards a plenty, and shown up on Food Network’s You Gotta Eat Here. I’ve been to Cardinal Rule twice. Once for brunch, once for a late lunch. I ended up ordering the same thing...

Vegan MoFo – Soupstock, I came, I ate, I ate some more.

Published date October 22, 2012

A highlight of this weekend for me was Soupstock, an event presented by the Canadian Chefs’ Congress and the David Suzuki Foundation. The whole premise was a celebration of local. Food, chefs, musicians, gathering together to raise awareness about (and support against) the Highlands Mega-Quarry. Some background information about the...

Vegan MoFo – Upping my Tillers Rep in Real Life – Fresh City Farms

Published date October 17, 2012

This weekend JC and I got our hands dirty at the Fresh City Farms plots at Downsview Park. It takes around an hour to get out there by bus from our house, but it was genuinely rewarding (and not just in the quantity of beets we brought home with us...

Vegan Keto – Week two

Published date September 1, 2012

This post is a continuation and conclusion of last weeks Vegan Keto experiment. Today marks the end of my Vegan Keto experiment. It’s been interesting learning about the diet first hand, because it’s given me a slightly better perspective on it, and what I should increase in my daily diet....

Vegan Food Swap – July 2012

Published date August 4, 2012

I stole most of JC’s vegan food swap last month. I’m just going to admit it. I hadn’t intended to, but it happened. That and due to travelling to Edmonton July-August, I wasn’t even going to participate in the swap this month. But, last minute partner switches needed to happen, so...

Toronto Tuesday – Queen West, HotDocs, … Niagara Falls?

Published date May 8, 2012

This weekend was one of those action packed weekends that only seems possible in a big city. There was Jane’s Walk, the Toronto Marathon, the Toronto Comic Arts Festival, and so many other things. We did none of those, but still managed to fill up our weekend with THINGS. So...

Drop-In Vegan Dinner at the Depanneur. Okara “Crab” Cake Po’ Boys

Published date May 5, 2012

I’m continuing my love of The Depanneur (1033A College St.) Corner store by day, dinner establishment by (some evenings), brunch spot, commercial kitchen space, and all around nice stop in Dufferin Grove. We’ve gone several times in the last few months, once to Emily Z’s French Lentil Soup day, Kalmplex’s Hearty Jamaican Soup,...

Boston – Grilled Vegan Sandwiches from Flour Bakery and PAX East

Published date April 7, 2012

We successfully arrived in Boston yesterday. The trip out of the Toronto’s city centre airport is so much better than flying out from Toronto’s Pearson International. It’s not as crowded, the security process is quick and easy, and there is a lounge space with free wifi and free drinks (like...

The Vegan Drop-in Dinner at the Depanneur – Kalmplex’s Hearty Jamaican Soup

Published date March 31, 2012

Another day, another Friday night vegan drop-in dinner at the Depanneur (1033 College St, Toronto.) Last week’s drop-in dinner with Emily Z was reason enough to go for a second visit. This might turn into a thing, it seems to be heading in that direction.

My first taste of The Depanneur supper club – a drop-in dinner.

Published date March 25, 2012

I had vaguely known about the Rusholme Park Supper Club before last week, but I hadn’t checked them out. A friend from Saskatoon, my former Rosebud Burlesque instructor, and former Toronto resident connected me with a local veg foodie – Emily Z, and it seems she is often the vegan...
