By admin on November 30, 2014
After such an exciting evening at the Gourmet Village Grand Opening, celebrating the 20th anniversary with guest chefs from around the world…it was time for me to unwind and connect myself with the paradise like setting that I was fortunate enough to be in. I typically love to sleep in…who doesn’t right?! But I wanted to take advantage of the serenity and calmness that the sound of the ocean has on me before I started my busy day. So I got up early (believe it or not) and went outside towards the sea. There is something definitely to be said about the sound of waves crashing and breaking against the rocks and boulders that were set on the shore. I swear its the best sound to clear the mind of all its clutter.
Nothing like clearing the mind as the sun is about to come up!
 |
| I wasn’t the only one up early that morning! |
So after a hearty breakfast, a trip to the ever so famous Ohtil Spa at the Marriot Hotel, a splendid massage was waiting for us (several international food and travel bloggers). I was ready for anything that was to come my way…or so I thought.
Before I proceed I think it’s important to know a bit of my background, especially when it comes to drinking. In general, I am very and I stress very particular and sensitive to certain liquors. So you can imagine how I felt when I learned that our next culinary event was actually a Tequila tasting followed by lunch held in the Marriot Hotel’s private wine room conducted by a true Tequila sommelier. I was nervous and scared as Tequila and I have never had a good relationship, actually it was more of a one sided relationship.Tequila liked to charm and seduce me but I didn’t like it and by ‘it’, I am referring to the ‘I think I just drank gasoline’ since my throat and tongue would typically be on fire to the ever so prevalent drum set going off in my head because of my consumption of this evil, evil poison!
That being said, I told myself to suck it up and give it a chance…what’s that saying? When in Rome…
Our Tequila sommelier Audrey Formisano, helped explain both the subtleties and vast differences of several Tequila’s. One being the most important to me, was reading and understanding the label on the different types of Tequila bottles which in turn (like wine) makes you have a better appreciation of what the flavor(s) will be. Reading the label on Tequila bottles is essential as it explains the percentage of Tequila coming from the agave plant that will in essence determine the taste of that particular Tequila (for example, white Tequila is made from 100% of the agave plant). I learned very quickly that white Tequila was not for me as it’s bold flavors of the distilled agave plant were not conducive to my sensitive palate…I was afraid that this was going to happen. But I didn’t give up, I kept trying the varied types of Tequila (hoping that lunch would soon arrive before the effects of these poisons would kick in!). At last, I found a Tequila that was ever so smooth to the tongue and throat that I was more than happy to have a second round. Let me introduce you to: Anejo Tequila! Anejo Tequila is very smooth and has a very subtle flavor to it. To me, it was like drinking a fine cognac…coming from someone who enjoys a fine brandy and cognac.

Sangrita is a beautiful combination of orange juice, tomato juice, Worcestershire sauce, Tabasco sauce and grenadine with a dash of salt & pepper. It’s recommended to drink first the Sangrita then tequila and then finish with the lime juice. |
With all the libations being consumed, I was in dire need of some food to absorb the effects of my newly found spirit. The culinary god’s must have heard my plea as the servers started to bring in our lunch.
 |
| Roasted beet, field greens, orange segments, goat cheese caramelized Macadamia nut, citrus and balsamic vinaigrette |
 |
| Roasted corn cream, caviar Cuitlacoche capellini cake |
 |
| Crab cake, mango sauce, red onion caramelized chili sauce |
 |
| Filet mignon, marrow crusted, caramelized onion quenelle, foam goat cheese, and Demi-Glace with truffle essence |
 |
| Fig tarta with honey ice cream, compote red fruit |
 |
| A Tequila inspired cocktail which I happened to name it lovingly: The Kill Me Quick! |
 |
| Chef Gerard Dupont and myself, The Food Tease |
Now before I go on and tell you how the evening ended, promise me to not pass any judgment here… You’ll understand very shortly why I asked you to promise. So after the beautiful cocktail party, I felt as though I was missing something. You see every time we would go out, we would pass on the streets some local food stands and right about at that moment when we left the hotel I wanted to experience some authentic local ‘street food’ before retiring for the evening…see why I asked you to not pass judgement?
And what an experience it was, our gracious driver took us to the best place for some Al Pastor. Al Pastor is very similar to eating a shawarma. The spit grilled marinated pork is married beautifully with chiles, spices and pineapple. Man, I was in for a treat. Walking down the street I could hear some drums being played at the nearby local bars that naturally got me in the right frame of mind…now this was the cultural experience I was wanting at that very moment! That particular Al Pastor food stand was a very popular foodie destination that evening, as a small crowd of people were surrounding the food stand with their appetites and chairs alike – just waiting for their orders to be made. Watching the meat be sliced by the Al Pastor owner as he perfectly timed the pineapple tossing onto the small tortilla was like watching a conductor at an symphony. Perfectly timed orchestra of food with a bonus entertainment value!
 |
| Al Pastor food stand – insanely good! |
 |
| Al Pastor feast! Perfectly seasoned grilled pork with onions, cilantro and lime juice and hot salsa. Out of the four small tortilla, one was called the ‘volcano’, everything was the same except cheese was added – incredible! |
What a day, what an evening! Incredible food and amazing vibe for the second day on this culinary excursion. Puerto Vallarta has become a gastronomic gem and now I am understanding why.
Stay tuned as the Progressive Avant-Garde Dinner and Presidential Suite private cooking show at one of Puerto Vallarta’s award winning hotel were next on the agenda…and they say men are the one’s with the appetites. I guess they never met the Food Tease then!

Learning about new destinations and different cultures is always a blast! 😃
Several evenings ago, I had the pleasure of being invited to the Embassy of the Czech Republic😍
Learning about their culture, their unique travel experiences, and surprisingly, how inexpensive this country is, when compared to other European destinations, is always good💰💰
To start the Czech Tourism event, guests had the pleasure to hear from Czech Republic Ambassador of Canada, Martin Tlapa.
Tasty libations and Czech dishes were enjoyed by the guests. Even though I enjoy my 🍾 bubbles, I enjoyed tasting Czech`s prized beer 😉🍻
On the bucket list to discover✈️✈️

I had the pleasure of experiencing @kathaottawa with their exclusive 8 course tasting menu of progressive Indian cuisine. What a treat!😍😋
.
Kathā means story in Sanskrit, and with each course, a story about the dish was shared with the guests. This interactive approach provided a cultural and personal background for each dish.
.
Everything from the scallop ceviche, the cod with chili and coriander oil to the delicious lamb chop and duck - all made for a unique cultural dining experience. 😋😋
.
Props to Chef/Owner Sarath Teegavarapu and his talented brigade on this creative endeavor!!

Friday night, I had the privilege of attending the 2024 Canadian Culinary Championships - Mystery Wine Challenge - People`s Choice Award🥇🥇@greatkitchenparty
.
Congratulations to all the chefs involved in this intense competition. The chefs needed to create a dish to pair with the mystery wine. Each chef was given a tricky budget of $550 for the 250 guests. I was witnessing creativity at its best!!😋
.
The winning dish🥇 (centered in the middle of the photo) was created by JP Dublado: Red Deer Resort and Casino, Red Deer AB
Dish: beet & soy cured albacore tuna - ponzu gel - tomato water - puffed wild rice - beet green oil
.
Amazing talent from all the chefs as they paired with the mystery wine (a 2021 Lailey Vineyard Zweigelt)🍷🍷

A classic is always a classic!🤩
.
@alssteakhouse has been serving food lovers steak, seafood, and tantalizing martinis since 1967!!! Just incredible! 🥩🍤🍸
.
As an appetizer, I must say their calamari was outstanding, and believe it or not, their portion was unlike any other eatery - there was so much!! 😮
.
And now, for the main attraction - their 14oz Rib-eye steak. The flavour of this steak was a melt-in-your-mouth gift! I couldn`t stop eating it. I forgot how delicious their steaks are. With their sides and salad with their signature garlic dressing, it was a real feast, to say the least.😋
.
I`m already looking forward to my next visit...like I said, when a classic is this tasty, any excuse to visit is a good one‼️

Explore and savour! 😋

Exploring different regions of the beautiful island of Antigua🏝🏝🐚🐚
Breathtaking panoramic views from Shirley Heights, a restored military lookout, and gun battery was such a visual treat!😍
.
Afterward, a tasty seafood lunch at the Mainbrace restaurant, located at the @copperandlumberstorehotelanu was needed. We are talking about delicious conch fritters, spicy shrimp and avocado sushi stack, and Mahi Mahi trio seafood salad - YUMMY!! 😋😋
.
And if that wasn`t enough, the view of the mind-blowing luxury yachts in front of us as we dined was simply perfect!🛳🛥🤩

The Devil made me do it! 👹😉
.
Antigua’s rich history and spectacular topography provide a variety of popular sightseeing opportunities.
.
One of those stunning sightseeing opportunities is the Devil`s Bridge. The sight and sounds of this natural wonder are something else. 👹🌊
.
Natural blowholes around the arch shoot up water and spray, caused by the Atlantic Ocean waves. Simply beautiful and capitavating and yet dangerous if too close to the blowholes.😲😍

To discover any new destination, I need to explore and experience their local dishes and eateries. 😋😋
.
Big thanks to @eat_n_lime_food_tours and to the @antiguaandbarbuda tourism board for providing me such a tasty treat!!🤗
.
Eat N Lime`s motto resonates with me so much...`We are hanging out and chilling, enjoying eachothers company with good food` - This is my happy place!😍😋
.
The delicious food tour started in Saint John, the capital of Antigua and Barbuda, at the Heritage Quay Complex, where one can easily see all the cruise ships coming in and offloading their passengers.
.
I had the pleasure of tasting these local treats during the food tour:
1) Island Bhive: shrimp fritters with garlic sauce - so delicious 😋 🦐
2) Quin Farara Liquor Store: Rum tasting and learning how to make an Antiguan Old Fashioned cocktail with their 5-year-old English Harbour Rum.🍹
3) Roti King: a very generous roti that was packed with flavour: chickpea bread, potatoes, chicken, Indian curry, turmeric, and ginger.
4) Brownies Bakery: well-known for its unique bread offerings. Fun fact: it`s also a well-known hangover dish.🍞😉Tracey Ann, our informative and engaging Eat n Lime Food Tours guide, showed us Brownies Bakery`s famous bread - cinnamon butter and cheese.
5) Patti Delight: Jamaican patties with a twist. Jamaican beef patty with bacon, cheese, tomatoes, and lettuce. More please!!😋😋
6) To wash down all this delicious food, we stopped at One Stone Ital Shack - a Jamaican rasta shop known for their fresh fruit juices. Passion fruit for the win!! Tasted amazing and truth be told, I mixed my leftover juice with some local Rum as my afternoon cocktail.🍹😉
.
I highly recommend taking part in food tours when discovering new destinations as you not only learn about the culture but also learn how food plays an integral role in the history of the specific region. Eat N Lime`s food tour was exceptional - great memories from this excursion. 😍🤗

Home cooking calls for a smoked salmon Dutch baby!!😋💕
.
This uber light yet rich at the same time meal is nothing but DELICIOUS!
.
This savoury Dutch baby with garlic butter, parmesan, and plenty of herbs can be a versatile vessel for other proteins or on its own. However, the smoked salmon and sour cream spread takes it to another level.
.
Here`s to weekend meals👩🏼🍳😋

I am very proud to share my culinary "observer" perspective regarding @lecordonbleuottawa culinary workshops in the latest issue of @luxeottawamagazine 😊

Visiting my alma mater and watching the culinary workshop from a different lens reinforced the rationale as to why I pursued my culinary education…the pleasure of savouring the fruits of your labour. 😋
.
It is this journey that ignited my passion for cooking, helped hone my skills, and introduced me to a world of flavours and techniques that continue to inspire me to this day. And perhaps it will inspire you as well!👨🍳👩🏼🍳

Check out the article and the new culinary workshops being offered. Enjoy the adventure!!😊🤗

Where`s my rubber ducky 🐤😉?!
.
A year ago this week, I was enjoying some bath time while in @discoverdominica 🏖🏝😍
.
Dominica`s lush scenery is extraordinary, and I`m grateful to have been invited to visit their beautiful island😊😊
.
Visiting Wotten Waven Sulphur Springs was perfect to relax and rid of some unwanted stress. And the outdoor bath surrounded by all that green landscape was simply the BEST! An unforgettable experience! 🤩
.
Dominica`s adventure activities - diving, snorkeling, hiking, kayaking, swimming - are just some of the many ways to enjoy this tropical island.🤿🙂
.
Put Dominica on your travel list. You`ll love it!!❤️❤️

No trip would be complete without a delicious food tour😋😍
.
I had the pleasure of taking part in @tours_de_la_table
guided walking tour - exploring Montréal`s Chinatown. Engaging host, interesting cultural facts, and my favourite, tasty dishes made for a great afternoon.😋😍
.
Having a very engaging and informative guide is key to any successful tour, and Mélissa Simard, founder of Round Table Tours/Tours De La Table nailed it. Melissa has a wealth of knowledge regarding both Canadian and Chinese history and its connection to Montreal.
.
During the tour, I learned that the Chinese Holiday Inn, the only Chinese Holiday Inn in Canada other than China, all the rooms and decor in the hotel are done in respect to the Feng Shui practice. Additionally, I also learned, amongst many other interesting facts regarding Montreal and its beloved Chinatown, that 50% of businesses in Montréal`s Chinatown are Vietnamese owned.
.
Now to the food😋😋
● The classic Vietnamese dish, Bánh mi (Vietnamese sandwich), was perfect to start off this yummy culinary tour!🥖😋
● @dobeandandy restaurant: BBQ pork, BBQ duck, chicken, and crispy pork. 😍YES!!!
● @chezchili_mtl: Traditional Hunan and Sichuan dishes are their specialty. I devoured their tofu with spicy blackbean sauce!! AND their spicy lotus was amazing! I was pleasantly surprised as to how much I enjoyed this dish! 😍 Plus, their stir-fried Cumin lamb...I could have eaten all of it!!!😋😍
● Kim Fung eatery: dim sum dishes of rice noodles, dumplings, cuttlefish, and Shumai (Chinese dumplings). 🥟🥟
● For drssert: Dragons beard candy dessert: Similar to cotton candy, but with some saltiness from peanuts and sweetness from coconut...super tasty!😍
.
I highly recommend this style of food tour as it`s very interesting and ridiculously TASTY 👌 😋😍

Labeled as `hunting lodge meets speakeasy`, the @foxymtl restaurant perfectly executes each dish with their wood-fire cooking🔥🔥😍
.
All aspects of this dining experience were spot on - warm hospitality, tantalizing cocktails, and dishes that pop with flavour. 🥃🍸🔥
.
Foxy`s head chef, Catherine Couvet Desrosiers and her talented brigade made exceptional wood-fire dishes, that left me wanting for more!!
.
Sabrina master mixologist at Foxy, made several tantalizing libations for me, but one stood out like no other - the New Delhi.😍🍸🥃 The New Delhi Cocktail was by far the best cocktail I`ve had in a very, very long time! Exotically addictive! 😋
.
Dishes that I was spoiled with: Homemade feta and pita: 1) burnt eggplant, blueberry, walnut and honey. 2) Radicchio: garlic confit, anchovy, olive and sourdough bread. 3) Cappelletti: corn, chanterelle and nasturtium. 4) Ontario walleye: porcini, lobster mushroom, sherry and chevril. Stunning dishes!!😋
.
Take your tastebuds on a culinary adventure and experience Foxy!!
