Five years ago today I started a blog. At the time, it was a place for me to write about whatever was top of mind – television, fashion purchases, theatre, and, well, food. I had just started cooking, though not on a regular basis, so most of my food dollars (and attention) were allocated to [...]

Sixteen foodies came together tonight for the third Edmonton Foodie Meetup at Famoso Neapolitan Pizzeria downtown. It was our largest gathering yet (read about our first and second meetups), which I think is a testament to the growing foodie community in the city. Foodies! When I called Famoso last week to make the reservation, and [...]

It’s almost hard to believe this is my thousandth post. For a blog that started as an online means of recording my random musings, it has ended up becoming a celebration of food. More than anything, I love that I have this web document of my descent into food – slowly but surely finding my [...]

I’ve mentioned on this blog that the last six months have been a bustling one in Edmonton’s online food scene. A number of voices have joined the fray recently, and I do believe the more the merrier – everyone has a unique perspective on food, and there is seemingly an unlimited number of topics to [...]

Ever since Andree from are you gonna eat that? told me that she carries Moo Cards around with her in case restaurant staff question her photo taking, I thought it’d be handy to have some cards of my own.

The number of culinary bloggers has increased significantly over the last year, and I’m sure there are many blogs I still haven’t come across. Hanne of Supper in Stereo and I talked about [...]

Two years ago, when I started this blog, I never thought I would have to defend what I chose to cover. At some point, the majority of my posts became food-related, and I embraced this topic, developing various streams of content, including cooking trials, restaurant reviews, and a weekly roundup of culinary stories. Last month, [...]

When Liane Faulder contacted me for an interview about my blog, I jumped at the chance to meet her. New to the Journal’s Bistro section as of May (and stepping into the arguably mammoth shoes of her predecessor, Judy Schultz), I have been intrigued by her seemingly haphazard direction and how she felt about the [...]

My last post for FoodTV went live on Friday, capturing a recent meal I had at Syphay. I decided to discontinue writing for the site, not because it wasn’t fun, but because I found it really difficult to find topics that would be appealing or relevant to a national audience – if one was interested [...]

It’s been one month since I made the switch from Blogger to WordPress, and the transition has been a bit of a mixed bag. I think I still need some time to get used to the layout of the WordPress Dashboard, even for doing simple things like viewing and editing posts, but for the most [...]
