London, UK – Afternoon Tea in London (One Aldwych Hotel & The Royal Horseguards Hotel)

By Mijune

Afternoon Tea in London is an event, but more so with tourists although locals still participate for special occasions or for business. It’s quite pricey so it’s not something people do every day. Most hotels in London will offer an Afternoon Tea service and usually it will be themed.

FOLLOW ME FOODIE: Afternoon Tea vs High Tea

By Mijune

I was going to let it go, but I couldn’t. I’ve been there, calling it “High Tea” instead of “Afternoon Tea” and not even acknowledging the difference. It’s a big difference too, and it’s time to point them out.

Follow Me Foodie: 10 Holiday Cookies in Vancouver

By Mijune

Here are 10 stand-out holiday cookies, and many are even available throughout the year. They aren’t necessarily “the best”, because we all know how I feel about “the best” anything, but they are 10 that I wouldn’t mind having all at once.

Follow Me Foodie: Rethinking Christmas cake (Where to buy it in Vancouver)

By Mijune

This is a love it or hate it cake. Images of gross artificial cherries, fake candied fruit, and vibrant green jelly automatically cross my mind when I hear the words Christmas cake. However there are so many versions which vary for each country and region, so don’t write off Christmas cakes until you’ve tried them all.

FOLLOW ME FOODIE: The art of sausage making + sausage making competition contest!

By Mijune

Sausage making is one of the oldest forms of food processing and how meat was preserved. The whole animal was valued and remaining scraps and organs were ground up, salted, seasoned and stuffed into casings. Enter to win tickets to The Great Canadian Sausage Making Competition presented by BC Pork at The Fraser Valley Food Show!

Tofino, BC – Wildside Grill (Fish n’ Chips) & The Fish Store

By Mijune

The Wildside Grill is an affordable eatery for all ages offering a range of casual beachside favourites. The fish n’ chips is most recommended. I also couldn’t leave Tofino without finding The Fish Store. I could have gorged on their smoked tuna belly all day. I didn’t want to be *that* person lining up 2, 3, 6 times for another sample at their booth, but I totally was.

Toronto, ON – Victor Restaurant + Bar – Toronto Tasting Menu Desserts

By Mijune

The Toronto Tasting menu offered 8 very different small plates and each plate represented a neighbourhood of Toronto. When it came time for desserts, I was presented an heirloom carrot cake, chocolate brownie with blood orange, maple pecan bar, and foie gras ice cream sandwich!
