Food Finds January
2005
On this page we will share interesting food finds we come across locally,
nationally and internationally, whether it's a mouth-watering dish
at a restaurant, a new ingredient, a chef to watch for, an exciting
wine or handy new kitchen gadget. These items will change frequently
so make
sure to check in regularly. (Locations will be in Toronto unless
otherwise indicated.)
- Golden confectioner sugar at Noah's Natural Foods (several locations
in downtown Toronto)
- Osgoode Hall Cafeteria with Chef Yassar Qahwish (Queen
St. West
at University Ave)
- Hot chocolate, (yes, another one, it's a long
winter) at Ed's Real Scoop with homemade marshmallow cream. (Queen
St. East in the Beach)
- Fish and chips (halibut) at Happy Place (on Sheppard at Bathurst)
- Ubashi's homemade baquette from Queen
of Tarts on Roncesvalles
- Inexpensive power tabletop crumb sweeper
whimsically shaped like a pig or cow from Kitchen & Glass Place
(Yonge north of Bloor)
- Out of town to Port Hope stop by Zest Food
to Go a wonderful little take out/food shop just off the main
street, a nice respite
after doing
the antique shops. Chef Camilo Costales, formerly chef at Youki in Toronto, prepares Asian/Western food you can eat in or take
out. Owner Julia Aldis
also has well stocked freezers of entrees, sauces and pies.
- Nella (Bathurst south of Dupont) long synonymous with knife sharpening,
now serves up quality equipment for restaurant and home
kitchen.
Cooking classes are also in their plans.
- Chocolate chips from
Simone Marie Belgian Chocolate shop (on Cumberland)
- Finally,
sit down with a plate of Spanish cheese, especially Manchego,
with Quince jelly from Dinah's Cupboard (on Cumberland
at Bay) and a glass
of port or sherry. This will surely banish the winter blahs!
