Oh look, another long TILT post. Bon Jour! I’m in the process of developing a morning routine that involves going to the gym and reading (on the elliptical trainer or stair climber.) I find it strange to read at home (vs. in a cafe) or in places other than a...

I’ve been inspired by a recent post on Our Hen House (as I often am) but this time it’s made me really want to take things offline. Recently they posted about the Animal Defense Fund’s online book club, which I think is an awesome fantastic idea – but – I’d like to see if...

I felt compelled to cook a semi-elaborate dinner. And it all started with a container of Faux Gras from the Regal Vegan. We picked it up at the NY Vegetarian Food Festival, and it seemed like a good idea to actually use it soon. Since I associate foie gras with french cuisine,...

There were so many lovely vegan options at last Thursday’s Recipe for Change, we left happy and satisfied. My favourite part is when things end up vegan at the event, that I was unsure about. As much as I like having a prepared list with me, it’s really nice to...

Thursdays are giving me a lot of fodder for TILT lately. Tonight is Recipe for Change, and I’m excited to have the opportunity to eat great vegan food, drink my fill of coffee and lemonade (and maybe some wine…), all while supporting a great cause. As usual, I’m also really...

I’m getting really excited about this year’s FoodShare Toronto Recipe For Change event. We had a wonderful time last year, and all proceeds go to support the work of FoodShare, and primarily their work in schools enhancing K-12 student food literacy. It was an amazing opportunity to try the food of dozens...
