REVIEW | Chef`s plate - Restaurant quality dishes in your very own home!

Chef's Plate is similar to Fresh Canteen (read our review here) which lets busy business people enjoy their time to the maximum without having to sacrifice quality. We all know what its like to work 9-5, commute home only to be too tired to do anything... So what do we turn to? Fast foods and dishes that probably aren't all that healthy for us. Chef's Plate solves that dilemma by delivering fresh ingredients to your door to make dishes that are worth sitting down for. 




The idea of it is pretty simple, check out their website every week for a variety of meals to choose from. You can check how long it takes to make each dish or what ingredients go along with it before making any hard commitments cause after all, not all weeks are created equal. Some weeks we might have more time than others to prep a meal. 

You can either choose a 2 person plan or 4 person plan each week and each plate ends up to $10.95 each. That seems fair as fast food meals cost that much and going out for dinner...that's a whole different story. 

Once you choose the meals you want, you put them in your cart and wait for them to be delivered the following Monday....seems too good to be true? It really isn't! 

We ordered the chorizo penne and warm eggplant salad for the week we got to test out! As promised, a box of ingredients was delivered straight to my house! 

Below is a picture of all the ingredients necessary to make the warm eggplant salad. Everything comes pre-portioned already...which means no measuring on my part and a lot less dishes to do! 


Below are the ingredients for the chorizo penne. 

Both meals were extremely easy to make, only took 30-35 minutes and as mentioned before, clean up was easy as there weren't too many dishes or extra utensils that we had to use! Each meal comes with a recipe card that gives step by step instructions so you really don't have to worry that your meal will turn out bad! 


The chorizo penne was definitely a crowd pleaser and we were even able to pack the leftovers for lunch! It's nice to be able to enjoy a nice meal after work without having to worry about buying groceries and then cooking the meal. We both love settling down to watch some TV at the end of the night and Chef's Plate definitely helped us maximize our time!

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 ...
