I have nothing against vegan or gluten-free foods, but in general, vegan or gluten-free versions of baking leave me unimpressed with both the flavour and texture. I don’t seek these items out, because lets face it, why would I seek out a more expensive and less delicious version of anything...

At the Market- Local Hot Sauces Bring the Heat
When a city’s restaurant scene really starts to take-off, like clearly Edmonton’s has, it often begats a rise in quality of locally made food products produced by small scale vendors at city farmers markets. I’ve recently discovered a perfect example of this; beautiful locally m...

Beer and pizza are soul mates, so it totally makes sense that this new microbrewery in Ellerslie would choose to make pizza the focus of their menu. With that in mind, we, of course, ordered a pint to go with our pizza. I was a little disappointed in the pint of blonde ale as I […]
