EVENT | Pizza & Gelato Party at G for Gelato in the St. Lawrence Market neighbourhood - what a blast!

We've always been told not to judge by a book by its cover and we shouldn't judge a restaurant by its name either. G for Gelato - gelato and espresso bar definitely offers more than just that!



G for Gelato offers an impressive selection of paninis, pizza, salads, gelatos, drinks and even breakfast on their menu. What makes your entire experience here even better is the impeccable service you get. Whether you're trying to decide what type of pizza to order or curious to try all their gelato flavours, the staff is always ready to lend a helping hand. As we all know, overall atmosphere of a restaurant is just as important as the food and G for Gelato definitely sets the bar high.

If you happen to see owner Shant out and about in the restaurant, stop for a chat and find out why his love for food has inspired him to open G for Gelato.

Everyone loves a good slice of pizza every now and then - we sure can't get enough. Whether you opt for a simpler pizza such as cheese or something more complex with hot peppers, meat or pineapple, you'll find it here. We tried a few of G for Gelato's pizzas and all we can say is, we're hooked! 

On a side note, order a bottle of Peroni (a classic Italian beer) with your pizza.


Maialina - tomato sauce, mozzarella, spicy italian sausage, spicy soppressata, fresh basil.
If you love meat as much as we do, you'll love this pizza! You'll also get a kick in every bite from the spicy sausage.


Funghi pizza - assorted mushrooms, fontina cheese, topped with arugula, shaved parmesan and truffle oil.
The funghi pizza surprisingly didn't taste as vegetarian as we thought it would. There was enough flavour and we almost forgot that we were eating a pizza with no meat on it. As important as toppings are to a pizza, we can't forget about the crust. We love a thin crust with our pizza and this one definitely hit the spot.


Arugula Salad


Gelato

You won't need to travel far for something sweet after your meal, just walk a few steps to the gelato display. Flavours range from classics like chocolate and and pistachio to creative and innovative flavours like tequila or redbull gelato. Even if you feel overwhelmed with the choice of flavours that are available, follow the steps listed below to ensure you find that perfect flavour!

1. Take a deep breath
2. Ask for a sample of any of the gelatos that seem to call out to you
3. Keep sampling until you've found the "one"
4. Feeling a bit greedy today and can't pick just one? Not to worry - get a bowl with 2 or 3 scoops of your favourite gelato!



Don't forget to enjoy a cup of hand crafted hot drink with your dessert to complete your meal at G for Gelato. :) 

We also got to try making our pizza and let's just say happy diners make for a happy pizza!

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 ...
