    We&#39;re super lucky to be surrounded by productive, fertile land, and that local chefs and farmers forge relationships. But there are a handful of local restaurants for whom farm to table means growing some of the ingredients they cook with. #Food #EatLocal #WaterlooRegion #PerthCounty #FarmToTable https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/kitchener-waterloo/farm-to-table-willibald-farm-brian-mccourt-d-d-s-smoked-eats-denis-hernandez-graze-farm-dinners-9.7274068

    It&#39;s pick-your-own season. With lots of farms letting you harvest your own fresh produce, I spoke with ABSOLUTELY LOVELY farmers about their patches and the Ps&amp;Qs of PYO (hint: there should be more in your basket than in your belly) #Food #Agriculture #WaterlooRegion #PerthCounty https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/kitchener-waterloo/pick-your-own-farm-purple-blossom-lavender-farm-thames-river-melons-hoffmans-strawberries-tnt-berries-9.7265842

    Happy Canada Day! The Indigenous flag was designed by artist Curtis Wilson (d 2019). The renowned artist was born and raised in the Ligwilda’xw territories and he was a member of the Wei Wai Kum First Nation in Campbell River. &quot;&quot;Every day is a learning experience we must do our best to pass on the knowledge to our future generations.&quot; ~ Curtis Wilson #Canada #CanadaDay #FirstNations #IndigenousPeople #AltText

    This week&amp;#39;s column is a meet the maker with Sachin Kumar, executive chef at Uptown Waterloo&amp;#39;s Trio. Found out more about him, his favourite places, and he answered my 10-question Proust-inspired questionnaire. #Food #WaterlooRegion #Chefs #ProustQuestionnaire https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/kitchener-waterloo/chef-sachin-kumar-trio-restaurant-langdon-hall-terroir-artisan-bakery-simply-south-odd-duck-9.7167951

    Well, I was hoping they’d go with “Swice, Swice, Baby!” but apparently, I’m aging myself with that.

    No food column this week -- I was felled by a blargh (and still sound like a 70yo smoker who&amp;#39;s been lighting up for 80 years). Here&amp;#39;s one my nurses, who still thinks I should be horizontal...as it&amp;#39;s easier to keep an eye on me (and use me as a pillow) Back next week, talking about tasty things.

    RIP Stephen Lewis I had the honour* of listening to him speak and meeting him years ago, when he came to Waterloo on a book tour. An absolutely lovely man, and an amazing orator, who did so much for Canada. *I rarely use the word &amp;quot;honour&amp;quot;, but in this case, it was. https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/stephen-lewis-obituary-9.7148606

    Should have made hot cross buns yesterday, but my bad mood was very apparent in the dough (didn’t bother baking them). Awoke in a better mood, and this is the result. Best I’ve made yet. Tangzhong method. Maple-orange glaze #Food #Baking #Easter #InMyKitchen

    Easter lunch! Main: Slow-cooked lamb, roasted ratatouille, The Lodger&amp;#39;s mashed potatoes. Dessert: (shop bought) Basque cheesecake 2nd Dessert: Kinder Egg! Inside mine was a fire breathing dragon (apparently the fire glows in the dark). #Easter #Mastonom #Food #KinderEgg
