Organic food is more expensive. Just a fact. Is it worth it? Yes. That is my opinion. Now let’s say, like me, you can’t afford to eat everything organic, or what you want not available organic- My rule is always to go organic and local first, and local second. With that in mind however, there [...]

By now you know how community food related events give me the warm fuzzies. I was therefore geekishly excited about visiting Carrot City, an exhibit on at the Design Exchange showcasing how cities and buildings are being designed in a manner that enables them to feed us city dwellers.

My dad was recently in New York and sent along this photo of a pair of vending [...]

I baked bread! Real, traditional sourdough bread. From scratch! It was a week long journey that had its highs and lows. There was the horrendous stench of fermentation, a small infestation of fruit flies, the peculiar bubbling and frothing, moving the bowl from the window sill to the counter depending on the weather… But after [...]
As a nutritionist, I likely think about food more than the average person. Shopping at my neighbourhood farmer’s market all summer had me thinking about where my food actually comes from. Ever wondered this? Yes, I know most of us get our food from the supermarket or the local market, but have you ever stopped [...]
