Who doesn’t love Lady and Tramp? What kid doesn’t enjoy slurping spaghetti? Who doesn’t love a meatball (spicy or not)? With all due love to vegetarians in my life, I gave you my my almost vegan tourtière — now, this is my chance to indulge the carnivore in me … and the Italian in me which I’m…

“St-Ambroise Double IPA” (DIPA), McAuslan Brewing
No, you don’t have to whistle the tune associated with Doublemint Gum to enjoy this beer … but I bet you are now, right? If IPAs have been en vogue in beer making for the past decade, then the past few years have seen the emergence of the DIPA (pronounced dee-PA). It seems every week,…
An Untraditional Canadian Christmas: Vegetarian Tourtière

Beauty in the Weeds

If you ever wondered why some people react to smells and tastes as if someone was whispering wanton words in their ear, you’ll understand when you…
Cascade Plus (Imperial IPA/Double IPA), Brasseurs Illimités

By all accounts, this was going…
