REVIEW | Feast ON 7-Course Dinner Experience at Spirit Tree Cidery

First off, let me just say that I love beef and cheese. When I heard about the Feast ON dinner featuring both, I couldn't say no. I invited my friend along for a mini road trip to Terra Cotta, just South West of Caledon for this 6-course dinner featuring cider pairings from Spirit Tree Cidery.

For those of you that are not aware of what Feast ON is, it's an Ontario wide dining series created by the Ontario Culinary Tourism Alliance to showcase the unique taste that Ontario has to offer. Feast ON certified restaurants and chefs offer unique experiences that focus on local food and drinks.

This Ontario Beef & Cheese Dinner featured produce from Heatherlea Farms of Caledon, known for their grass-fed and drug free meat, and Monteforte Dairy from Stratford.

Check out the amazing dinner that we indulged in:

Fried: Croquette, salsify, abondance
Paired with sparkling crabapple cider

Smoked: beef bacon BLT salad with smoked fontina dressing
Paired with draught cider

Raw: sirloin, crabapple, sweet potato chips, chevre
Paired with estate reserve cider

Slow: shank, cheddar fondue, marrow gravy, polenta fries, gremolata
Paired with dry-hopped cider

Ash: flat-iron, beet sauce, potato puree, leek, waltzing matilda
Paired with applelager

Sweet: eccles cake, tomme
Paired with ice cider

The Spirit Tree Cidery is one-of-a-kind. It's not only a cidery, it's also a bakery, kitchen and a farm store. The Cider House Bistro offers popular wood oven pizzas every Fridays and Saturdays and a wide selection of freshly baked bread and baked goods everyday.
Want to plan a visit? There is an upcoming 7-course Winter Cider Master's Dinner on February 6th that should be taken advantage of!

Don't miss out on the next Feast ON event! Stay in the know.

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. The Healthy Butcher Sausage War Media Class w...

REVIEW | Cafeteria

[Guest Writer: Jonathan L.] For my first food blogging experience, I head over to a pre-opening at Cafeteria by Playa Cabana with Monica from the Food Sisterhood. The newest addition to the Mas Playas group is located on College and Dovercourt, an area with many up-and-coming restaurants. We are seated at a table with fellow bloggers, Laney & Nick from Best of Toronto , Jess from Where Jess Ate , and Jess' fiance, Mike. While he refuses to contribute to her blog, he has at least put a sufficiently sizeable ring on her finger to warrant a few perks (ha ha). Cafeteria boasts a lively ambiance. Despite not being officially launched, the restaurant is bustling with walk-ins, undoubtedly attracted by the rustic charm of Cafeteria's decor. The highlights are vintage wood and tile finishes throughout, and a set of floor to ceiling wrought-iron gates in the style of traditional Mexican courtyard architecture. Before the meal begins, I warm my pa...
