THE 4 PASTAS OF ROME

Your impression of La Dolce Vita says a lot about where you are in life. Do you find it exotic and romantic? Frustrating and vapid? Nostalgic and bitter sweet? The film covers seven episodes in a gossip rag journalist’s life. Seven nights, seven mornings, seven hills in Rome, the seven sins – there’s a lot of allegorical, metaphorical stuff going […]

EGGS IN A BASKET

S’MORES LATTE

Toronto is one of my favorite food cities. The combination of myriad cultural references with youthful exuberance leads to some very fun, very delicious surprises.

CRISPY BREAKFAST POTATOES

I don’t think I’ve met a potato I haven’t at least grudgingly devoured, as long as there was salt and pepper nearby. Potatoes are my comfort food. If I have a stomach ache, french fries will fix it.

Empty.  He walks over to a water-cooler looking thing with a milk sign on […]
