This top 10 list features gift ideas and “must-haves” for the general “Foodie” and “Gourmet”. For this list, my definition of the “general foodie and gourmet” (whatever you prefer to be called) is someone who appreciates everything to do with food including eating, cooking and dining out.

The chosen vendors at this event were the new, cool and “hip-sterish” dessert, pastry, chocolate and doughnut shops that have more or less opened within the last year. Here is my recap of Swallow Tail Canada’s Dessert Festival & Pop Up Soda Shoppe Event at the Ridge Theatre.

Beet chips and apple chips sounded pretty “yawn” to me so I wanted to do something a bit different, but still simple. I’ve made a chocolate lava cake with a beet coulis centre before so why not beet chips with chocolate? Also use the code ‘slice and dice’ for a discount on the mandoline at Call the Kettle Black!

Yes! It’s as good as it sounds… and if it doesn’t sound good to you then start thinking outside of the ice cream box! On occasion my dad used to make me ice cream on toast for breakfast or dessert growing up. It was one of my favourite things. Now here’s my version of brown butter and toast ice cream!

I debated sous-viding the doughnuts in milk, infusing the doughnuts in the milk, and then just chopping them up and tossing them in at the end. However I wanted the gelato to almost be like cake batter with a thick, creamy and distinct doughnut flavour.

Pistachio would definitely be in my top 3 favourite flavours for desserts. This recipe is actually egg-free and instead of egg yolks it uses cornstarch. Don’t let that scare you. It’s not a short cut. Authentic gelato in Southern Italy, Sicily to be specific, uses cornstarch as the stabilizer whereas Rome would use egg yolks.
