Niagara Cooks: October 2011
http://niagaracooks.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html
From farm to table. Saturday, October 29, 2011. It's Julia Child all over again! The Grand Theatre is in the heart of downtown London and tonight Jon and I are here to see TO MASTER THE ART (of French Cuisine). It’s the live theatre version of the Julia Child story. Even from the grave, Julia Child has risen to raise the profile of cooking and eating – she is my hero! This is North America after all. Back to the play, perhaps some may see TO MASTER THE ART as a chic flick but to me it represents so much ...

Niagara Cooks: March 2012
http://niagaracooks.blogspot.com/2012_03_01_archive.html
From farm to table. Saturday, March 31, 2012. The Ontario Table $10 Challenge: A Year of Eating Local. This is my new magazine – or better put ezine. An ezine for those who are wondering is an on-line magazine. So why a magazine when the book, The Ontario Table. Is still so popular? Book What was needed was a tool that would both educate consumers on what local foods are available and when and also give them some quick and easy recipes to eat local all the time. It needs to be both fun and surprising.

From farm to table. Tuesday, April 10, 2012. I’m making doughnuts – not donuts!

The great thing about doughnuts is, the basic ones are never high maintenance. With a w...
