The Week in Yum - Low Key Week in the Yumsphere



Check out my little feature on Parkdale's The Standard Bar over on Auburn Lane. It's a great little speakeasy, hiding away behind the Parkdale Pizza, accessed through what looks like a door to the alley or something, as speakeasy's are often accessed. Very smart move on the part of the owners of Parkdale Pizza, by the way - this way their space is utilized almost around the clock. Neighbourhood pizza joint by day, rollicking bar with tasty eats by night.


Sublime Catering Insanity

Michael Tong, Sublime Catering owner and visionary food master designed this insane foodscape for the opening of Lot X performed by Adelheid and I was thrilled to help with the execution. This dance performance, choreopgraphed by Heidi Strauss takes the dancers and the audience through several locations throughout Harbourfront Centre only runs until June 2 so if there are any tickets left, get on that. I would love to thoroughly explain the significance behind this food/art installation but that is a bit above my pay grade lol.
One table, using coloured rice as a base, became a beautiful, edible landscape

the second table was stocked with junk food, concrete and plastic. I totally ate a timbit while setting it up

Had to find The Kid at Anime North - it was easy, he was wearing jeans and a shirt

A migraine sidetracked me on Thursday and I had to throw on my makeup artist hat on Friday so that was the week that was.


Oh, yeah

Vietnamese Chicken Meatballs

Image
I have had a serious craving for bun - if you eat Vietnamese food, you know what I'm talking about. A bowl with crisp, shredded romaine lettuce, cold rice noodles, lots of chopped dry roasted peanuts, fresh mint and cilantro, shredded carrots, cucumbers and some sort of sticky, sweet bbq meat that you pour nuoc chom over and then scarf it all down like a maniac because it's so refreshingly delicious that you can't stand it?? Okay, if you don't eat Vietnamese food and don't know what I'm talking about, go find some. Honestly. So my quest today was to make some but I didn't feel like tackling the bbq pork today but The Kid loves meatballs so I thought I would whip up some sort of Vietnamese meatballs out of ground chicken and do a kind of   Bun Ga Nuong . The only thing I was worried about was the sticky, caramelized glaze on the outside when I found this recipe on the Food and Wine web site.  It's from a cook book called Small Bites by Jennifer J...

Travel Diary : Toronto to Nova Scotia 2021- First Stop, Montreal

Image
 Hello my lovlelies! The family is on our first vacation in almost two years and it's a covid friendly affair. Not ready for international travel, airports and sharing air for 8 hours, we threw our Segway Ninebot Max scooters on the roof of the car and headed east. We stopped in Montreal for the first night, thinking we would just get up early and continue on our way. HAH who is going to bitch about burrata and rose outdoors? Like that was going to happen. I booked us into the brand, spanking new Hotel St Thomas on Sherbrooke, we dropped all of our crap into the ginormous room and hit the road on the scooters. It was a Monday night, which means just about any restaurant I would want to visit is closed so we did the only thing you can do in on a Monday.... we went to Old Montreal and grabbed an outdoor table at Bevo Bar and had a lovely bottle of Rose, some pizza and apps, perfect after a long day of driving. Once we woke up, we all knew we wanted to stay another night so I took ca...

Sous Vide Pork Souvlaki

Image
I love the idea of pork souvlaki. I love the flavours, I love the charcoal flavour that the grill imparts and I love any meat that gets dipped in lots of tzatziki. What I don't love is dry, leathery meat and, unfortunately, that is almost always the case when people try to cook small chunks of lean meat over the grill. That's where sous vide comes in. I just made my regular marinade and instead of cutting the pork into bite sized pieces, I cut my pork tenderloins into 1" slices and then after 24 hours of soaking in the fridge, I sous vide them before cutting some of the disks into chunks and skewering them (I left half of them as is and grilled the medallions, which worked even better) right before we threw them on the grill for a quick char. I finally have my perfect pork souvlaki - tender, moist (OH MY GOD THAT HORRIBLE WORD AGAIN) and with all the wonderful souvlaki flavours but without the dry, overcooked bits that are almost unavoidable when you grill them fro...
