About me

Introduction Having recently completed an MBA and staring unemployment in the eye, I was feeling under-stimulated and decided I wanted to share my love for good food with those who are interested. Growing up in Toronto and in a Jewish household, to boot, my childhood culinary experiences combined aspects of a Martha Stewart and Gordon Ramsey kitchen environment. Although I do cook myself and must admit, it ain’t all that bad, growing up with homemade soups and stews, fall-off-the-bone meats, an endless list of baked goods and my mother’s famous salad dressing (each and every dish made from scratch I should add), I acknowledge that my culinary standards have been set, perhaps unfairly, high. I also must admit that my interest in finance, has somehow always taken precedence over my culinary and writing interests. So... take this blog for what it is. I do not intend on using fancy words nor demonstrating any ‘creative’ writing style. This is simply my own, personal, straight-up account of the best (and worst) eats, treats and hidden gems in T.O.
