Curcumin complement provides safety against coronary heart disease and most cancers is a hot topic in the interim. Recently scientists had been openly pronouncing that as a result of scientific trials they agree with that this chemical compound located in turmeric is one of the answers to the treatment of colorectal most cancers.

Beta-Carotene, a pink-yellow food pigment that turns to diet A within the body, has been on pretty a curler-coaster journey during the beyond few many years. It enjoyed sizeable recognition while scientists linked it with decrease costs of heart ailment and most cancers. The temper modified, however, when researchers observed that taking beta-carotene dietary supplements regarded to growth the risk for some of these sicknesses. Now, as scientific technological know-how learns more about this enigmatic antioxidant, beta-carotene's reputation is ascending once more, albeit more cautiously than earlier than.

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...

One of Toronto's ritzy neighbourhoods, Yorkville wouldn't be the same without its popular luxury chocolat boutique, MoRoCo Chocolat .  Tucked away on Yorkville Ave., this whimsical spot not only offers amazing chocolate, but also has brunch, afternoon tea, dinner, and did I mention cocktails?  I've been to MoRoCo on several occasions this year, whether to pick up some macarons or meet up with a friend for brunch, since my last post on MoRoCo. This post in particular features their new cocktail and dinner menu items for the season that I was invited to preview two weeks ago. Most of my visits to MoRoCo is to pick up sweets and have brunch but now it looks like I may have to come here at night for their delicious cocktails: The Mad Man : Bourbon, bitters, cranberries, orange zest XO Delight: Patron XO cafe, frangelico, baileys, grand marnier, espresso, whipped cream Strawberry Rhubarb Seduction : presecco, aperol, strawverry, rhubarb, bitters MoRoCo Caesar : Vodka, clamato, ...

Who doesn't love desserts? We certainly do and that's why we were so excited to try out HoneyButter's   macarons!    HoneyButter is a private dessert company founded by Grace who offers a wide variety of desserts including cheesecakes, tarts, cupcakes cookies and of course macarons.  Anyone who likes to bake will tell you that baking is essentially a science. Proportions have to be exact or else the result turns out to be one of those "baking fails" that everyone laughs about. However, not all baking is created equally...cookies and breads tend to be on the easier side and then there are the macarons...in their perfect little shells just taunting you to attempt conquering them. Having tried and failed numerous times at making macarons myself, it's nice to know I can contact HoneyButter  to order some and know that when they arrive they'll look nothing like my own personal baking fail. The list of flavours for macarons is almost never ending and for HoneyBu...

If you've ever met Monica and I, you'll know that we are not ones to turn down cake or any dessert for that matter. They're the perfect desserts for any occasion, and there's nothing more satisfying than that first cut into a cake. There's definitely an abundance of bakeries across Toronto, including one that we came across recently, called:  La Dulce Torta . La Dulce Torta is a bakery that offers delicious, homemade and affordable cakes within downtown Toronto and GTA. Let's be honest, cakes don't come cheap and and customizing is a whole new story. Luckily La Dulce Torta can cater to what you're looking for, including wedding cakes!  Their cakes are definitely on the affordable side and won't cost you an arm and leg. We got to try their double chocolate cake as well as the lemon cake.  We were sold at chocolate, I mean chocolate on its own is already great but double chocolate is just too good to be true! The cake was decadent and rich, definitely ...

Although we're still a little confused about summer in Toronto this year, there are days where I would love for nothing but a nice cold drink on a patio and there are days/nights where I wish I could crank up the heat in my house. For those hot and sweaty days, there's really nothing like a cold drink or a cold dessert to cool you down - I'm talking about some Taiwanese crushed ice desserts and milk teas! Sweet O'Clock is like a mix of a sit down dessert space and take out. If you're looking for a quick drink, take out is probably your best bet but if you're looking for one of the desserts, we would recommend grabbing a table to sit down and enjoy the desserts as fresh as they can be. They specialize in Taiwanese desserts and hand make all their taro balls, which is a must try if you've never had it before. One of their signature dishes is the Supreme Mango Crushed Ice. At first glance it just looks like chopped mango and ice cream but it's all on top of...

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 ...
