We shopped one-on-one at Whole Foods in Toronto with Sam Graci, Greens+ magnate and superfood researcher, to learn how to maintain a balanced body chemistry. He says we need to create an even pH level—where alkalizing and acid forming foods are balance—for higher energy levels and better memory, mood, libido and skin. “Our body is a very exquisite chemical processing plant,” says Graci.
Here’s what we picked up: Read more »

As a fashion editor, it’s not everyday that I get to enjoy a foodie event. But with such a lively and burgeoning dining scene, Vancouver’s fashion and food industries are most definitely linked (just ask a few of the city’s stylish couples!). So when I received an invitation to a hands-on Contemporary West Coast workshop at the brand new Dirty Apron Cooking School (540 Beatty St., Vancouver, 604-879-8588, dirtyapron.com), opened by former Chambar sous-chef David Robertson and Karri and Nico Schuermans of Chambar and Medina, I jumped at the chance.

Though I consider myself a fairly health-conscious person, summer days spent on the patio have caused me to indulge a bit too heavily in sweet potato fries. (Yes, the vitamin A contents supposedly makes them healthier than regular French fries, but the decision to order them is never guilt-free.) T-Fal has apparently found a way for me to enjoy my snacks without constantly thinking about hitting the treadmill afterwards. Read more »

I don’t celebrate Valentine’s Day. I do however believe in surprising the people you love. So, in the spirit of totally shocking surprises, I have decided to do something really out-there on February 14. It’s kind of sexy, perhaps even a little dangerous, and my fiancé will never expect it: I am going to cook. To make this experience less intimidating, I decided to shop for food the same way I shop for clothing—forego the one-stop-shopping mall or grocery store, and hit up small, independent boutiques, gourmet bakeries, cheese shops and markets. It may take a little longer, but I figure if this is the one meal in 2009 that I’m cooking, I can put a little extra effort into it.

Recessionistas are rediscovering the simple pleasures of homemade meals, and they’ll surely enjoy the not-so-simple foie gras cooking class by caterer extraordinaire Denise Cornellier (December 10, $225, cornelliertraiteur.com). From fancy holiday hors d’oeuvres to hearty soups with a twist and scrumptious mains, your dear ones might very well surprise you with fine new delicacies at this year’s Xmas dinner party.

Although I’ve lived in Vancouver now for nearly six years, I had never experienced Whistler Cornucopia (whistlercornucopia.com), a food and wine festival that, for the past 12 years, has offered foodies the opportunity to schmooze, eat plenty of delicious food, and learn from acclaimed chefs, vintners, restaurateurs and sommeliers. Two weeks ago, however, I got a last-minute invitation, and with a quick switch of outfits (I’d just arrived home from FASHION’s semi-annual editorial conference in Toronto, where it was a balmy 18 degrees), I was on the bus to Whistler! Here, a few highlights from the weekend.

Attention chocoholics: MoRoCo Chocolat (99 Yorkville Ave., 416-961-2202, morocochocolat.com), possibly the most fashionable chocolate salon in Toronto, opened this fall. The location is quite hidden, but even if you miss their giant Victorian logo that reads “Let Them Eat Cacao,” your nose will lead the way like a GPS.
