Urban Foraging
Hello fellow foragers. It has been a long hot summer and my cooking is light these days. I had the opportunity to join an expert forager into the woods of urban Ottawa to learn about edible plants. It was a fascinating learning experience in a hiking area just ten minutes from my home. […]

Fed Up – the movie
Lucky for me, last Thursday evening, I won free tickets from the Food Bloggers of Canada, to the Ottawa premiere of Fed Up.
