EVENT | Taste of Toronto July 24 - 27 at Fort York - this summer's foodie event you don't want to miss!

It's finally here! I feel like we have been talking & writing about Taste of Toronto for months now, and after attending the opening night yesterday, I urge you, don't miss out! Celebrity chefs, demonstrations, wine tastings and most of all, the delicious food was very worthwhile. In fact, I'm going again on Saturday ;) 


Once you validate your ticket at the front and enter through the gates, it's time to eat! The dishes offered at the restaurant booths go for 6, 8 or 10 'crowns'. Crowns are the official currency at Taste for you to buy food and 1 crown = $1.  Just head on over to the Crown Stations to load up your ToT cards with crowns.  I recommend loading it up with around $25-30.  Any leftover crowns will be donated to the event's charity partner, Second Harvest.

There's also a slew of food & drink vendors on site such as Momofuku Milkbar (got my crack pie), Ice Volcano Ice Cream, Greenhouse Juice Co., Baretta Family Farm & more! Metro is also providing delicious little frozen yogurt bars so make sure you go find them!



The dishes we had at ToT:
 Patria’s Seafood Paella: Bacalao, Mussels, Shrimp, Bay Scallops,Fish, Peas, Crispy Serrano
10 Crowns

The Grove's Octopus, with pork, corn & black garlic
10 Crowns

The Harbord Room / THR & Co.'s Griddled Crab & Prawn Roll,  with spicy pickled cucumber, avocado, crispy bacon & old bay chips
10 Crowns
 
JaBistro’s Oshizushi: blowtorched & pressed sushi with shrimp, mackerel & salmon
10 Crowns

Mixed Berry or Nutella Nitrogen Ice Cream from Ice Volcano Ice Cream - so creamy and delish!
$6 each or $10 for 2

You can still buy tickets online for $30, which includes 6 crowns.

Don't forget to make all your friends jealous by sharing your photos at Taste of Toronto & tag us @foodsisterhood as we want to see what you're having!

REVIEW | Light Cafe

We find Baldwin Village to be a street in Toronto that is ever growing. You'll never know what to expect in terms of businesses that will pop up! Not to mention it's diverse food culture including gelato, ramen, Italian, Filipino food and so much more. It doesn't surprise us at all that Light Cafe decided to take residence on Baldwin.  I have traveled quite extensively through Asia and can say with confidence that Light Cafe looks exactly like a cafe you would find in Taiwan. Not only is it spacious inside, I love the minimalist decor inside which provides a calming atmosphere. I could see myself sitting at the cafe for hours (within reason haha) and getting some work done.  The first thing that we noticed and I'm sure many of you will as well - is the living wall. I don't think I've ever been to a restaurant where there was a living wall but I've always wanted one of my own. With the natural sunlight coming in with the wall, it's the perfect place to f...

WORKSHOP | Sausage Making Class at The Healthy Butcher on Eglinton!

Recently named 'Best Butcher in Toronto' by Now Magazine, the Healthy Butcher   just may become your go-to butcher shop for organically & locally-sourced meats as well as sustainable seafood!  It's no surprise that The Healthy Butcher caters to those that 'live to eat' as they're passionate about food themselves. In fact, they're so serious, that they offer educational and fun workshops on roasting, knife skills, butchering and lots more... The hands-on workshops and classes are held on weekday evenings and range from $40 to $125 per person depending on the class.  With an intimate group, you'll be sure to learn a new set of skills at these 2.5 hr classes at The Healthy Butcher in the company of other food lovers.  When I first heard about their workshops, I thought it would be a perfect team-building exercise for co-workers but it would be great to take friends or family as it's a great time overall.

RECIPE | Alokozay Tea - Cinnamon tea infused panna cotta

Matcha tea has been a long time favourite when making any type of dessert and now more recently, it's expanded to other teas such as Chai or Early Grey. We decided to try making a panna cotta using cinnamon tea from  Alokozay Tea.    If you're looking to buy it in a store, try the international food section in Metro, Bulk Barn, Food Basics, or Adonis. If all else fails, do what we did and order it directly from their website. The website is extremely easy to navigate and you can get free shipping if you spend $39 or more.  Customer service was amazing and replied to my emails within the same day! Click here to buy the tea online.  Panna Cotta is a pretty straight forward dessert to make but it never fails to impress at dinner parties where you can serve them in individual ramekins. Ingredients - 2 Alokozay cinnamon tea bags - 3/4 cup half and half cream -1/2 cup 2% milk - 2 tbsp sugar - 1 tsp gelatin -fruits of your choice  Method: 1. Mix the gelatin with ...
