Sorauren Farmers’ Market — Mon’s 3-7pm

Come get a 6 pack of deliciousness on monday evenings at Sorauren Farmer’s Market which is in Sorauren Park, in the city’s westend.  It is south of Dundas St. west and just off of Sorauren Avenue at Wabash Ave.  Lots of amazing food, fruit, veggies, music, dogs and children.  It makes me happy just to be there.  Hope to see you too.

Food Truck Eats was SO Busy, Fun and inspiring :)

What an amazing event Saturday at the Distillery District.  Suresh Doss pulled off a massive Food Truck inspired afternoon filled with beautiful music and yummy eats.  I grabbed a lobster slider at 10:45 before the crowds descended but after that it was madness…no time to nosh.

We had so many people come up to talk to us about the Toronto Star Article (Jennifer Bain, the TStar writer dropped by too); as well as some decidedly pregnant women claimed to be our biggest fans after trying our fruitbomb ice pops.  It didn’t hurt that it was a hot hot hot and sunny day yesterday and that the Fresh Ontario Strawberries are in season (props to Wittamore’s and Bizjak Farms): we freeze them up with basil, lemon thyme and lemon juice and zest.

Great to see some old friends from Mildred Pierce Restaurant: Claire + Gideon Naf (gorgeous and wonderful folk) and Steven Shieffeld and his wife (they are moving to Caymen Islands, lucky things) and some newer friends: Eric (thanks for the croissants!), Dan and Joan, Tracey, Nicole, David and Peter; Dana Gudelis and friend….and lots other folks.  A wonderful day all around.  My husband Melville was a trooper.  Not a food guy by trade or nature, he fights the good fight beside me.

We were located beside Jeff Hopgood and his smoked chicken croquettes, and the Simple Seafood people with their lobster sliders and fish tacos.  Joshna Maharaj was serving up some beautiful Kulfi with fresh strawberries one booth over.  What a lovely woman.  I was reading about her work in bringing  good food to hospitals.  She’s an inspiration.

The best part was the enthusiasm of the people — foodies who are willing to wait in line for a little something delicious are my kind of people.  A great  vibe, and lots of positive energy in the distillery yesterday.  A thousand thank-you’s to Suresh and his partner Nina, who have obviously worked tirelessly to get this effort rolling.  August 20th — can’t wait!!– here we come!!  i am gonna get around to eat more delights this time!!

We’re in the Toronto Star!

Jennifer Bain wrote a very nice piece on the phenomenon of gourmet popsicles and on Augie’s Gourmet Ice Pops in wednesday june 29th’s Living/Food section. Check out the article on Augie’s Gourmet Ice Pops.
