A Taste of Toronto
06 Apr 2009, Posted by in chefs & restaurants
Chef Mark and I have just returned from our “Tempt Your Tummy in Toronto” food and wine tour, and we have tons to share (info, not food, as we already feasted on that). Mark started off the Toronto recap on CMN, and we’ll continue to post more news and videos in the coming weeks. On Friday night our lovely hosts treated us to a real taste of Toronto — in the form of a 9-hour marathon of fine dining. I suppose this is somewhat like the Bordeaux marathon, only with less exercise. We had the opportunity to sample the finest…

This is the event’s 7th year, and takes place throughout the month of February with tasting dinners, wine tastings and cooking classes throughout the region. (Now, dear readers, if you’ve been following closely — and we know you have — you saw that our first tasting dinner was at The Five Fisherman.) Presented by the Restaurant Association of Nova Scotia, Savour has built up a great…
Dinner at the Five Fishermen
26 Feb 2009, Posted by in chefs & restaurants, food, travel
We kicked off our tour of the Savour Food & Wine Festival in Halifax, Nova Scotia last night with a tasting dinner at The Five Fisherman, situated in one of the city’s oldest buildings. Chef Dafydd Williams-Jones and restaurant manager Gary MacDonald treated us to a tasting of Nova Scotia specialties, which were wonderfully enhanced by the presence of sommelier Avery Gavel and Gary Ramey of Blomidon Estate Winery, who guided us through each course with a selection from his and other local vineyards. Here is a little sampling of what we tasted last night. We wish you could have…
