My darling @itbitme introduced me to Bompas & Parr a couple of years ago – here are some videos that capture their approach to all things jelly related.
So if macaroons are already over and cupcakes are super passé, could the artisan jelly take their place as the must-have dessert du jour to serve at your next soirée? I say yes! BP will make you a custom mold for only £800.
I'm sure you could glean from my many posts and tweets that I had high hopes for the Food Truck festival at the Distillery.
Well... they obviously had good intentions but no idea how many people would actually show up or how to accommodate them. There were 2 hour wait lines for each truck – major turn off.
The above is evidence of the one concession stand I had the patience to stand in line for – which all told, was pretty good but rather expensive at $10 for 6 smoked chicken croquettes.
Our group quickly abandoned ship and decided to go to Burger's Priest – which was a brilliant idea courtesy of @itbitme. Post on that coming up!
Why is eating food out of a truck so fun? I don't know the answer but the idea excites me terribly. See you there!
If you had asked the average person on the street 25 years ago about fashion, they may have been able to ramble off a few classic names like Coco, Valentino, Yves. But it wasn't until Jeanne brought the likes of Armani, Marc and Karl into our livingrooms every Sunday at 6:30pm on CityTV, that the public embraced these figures as artists and celebrities in their own right and ultimately, runway presentations, as a form of entertainment. By taking us backstage and into the ateliers of designers, she celebrated and demystified an industry and culture that previously was only accessible to the people working within it and the wealthy elite buying it. All of a sudden, in 1985, people like yours truly, at the tender age of 10, were discussing the merits of Calvin's minimalism and Lacroix's opulence at the dinner table with the whole family – – and I haven't stopped since! ;)
Tonight I had the pleasure of attending the show's 25th anniversary party.
I'm a Toronto based designer that enjoys blogging about whatever intrigues me
