Whoever coined the proverb ‘the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach’ clearly never met me! As a diehard foodie, I love everything tastily satisfying! Truth be told, I adore this time of year as summer and fall conjure up images of BBQ fantasies. How can one not fall in love with the ever so distinct smell of […]

outdoor dining experience

Seeing a procession of hundreds of people all dressed in white making their way to the mysterious ‘secret location’ was like listening to a perfectly harmonised orchestra! It was quite impressive! Six hundred guests took part in Ottawa’s very first edition of the sophisticated world renowned Dîner en Blanc picnic last week!

Ah, summer! The time of year when hot temperatures give a helping hand to Mother Nature’s bounty. A time where sun, rain and manual labour give life and sustenance to a farmer’s field and in return provide delicious meals for our families.

Imagine yourself partaking in an elegant and classy Parisian-style summer picnic where glitz and glamour characterize this epicurean event like no other. In 2 weeks, Ottawa will be hosting a worldwide culinary phenomenon which also happens to be this summer’s most sought after event, Dîner en Blanc.

It isn’t every day that one has the chance to win a brand new 2016 Mercedes-Benz or a cash prize of $30,000 all the while supporting a great cause.

Ottawa is being treated (pardon the pun) to North America’s largest dessert festival ever! And let me tell you, it’s not just the children that will be enjoying the desserts as the evening […]

Bash 2016 london calls.

Big Ben, Buckingham Palace and the ever so dapper James Bond. Now what do they all have in common? All pleasing to the eye…Yes, but they also call London home. And London happens to be this years theme to Ottawa’s hottest summer party, BASH!

What do you get when you have three talented high caliber chefs cooking for you for an evening? Well let me tell you, as a woman who loves her food and who also likes to be entertained, the answer is foodtopia.  ‘Foodopia’ is exactly where guests were last week at the Stittsville NeXT restaurant during their first Three Chefs One Dinner […]

The Big Band era of the 1950’s with all its glitz and glamour came to life this past Saturday! The Loft Gala proved to be the most prestigious soirée that socialites, fashionistas and foodies had been waiting for all year!

Three chefs one dinner.

Having one chef give an interactive cooking show is one thing. Having two energetic chefs showcase their talent and skill set as they talk about their dishes in front of food lovers is another thing…but having three chefs do this, is taking it to a whole new level! In less than two weeks, the NeXT restaurant […]
