Everybody Eats
…whether intricately prepared or straight from the freezer, whether from the backyard garden or shiny supermarket. The dudes at my dog park talk pork recipes, my sister has inordinate pride in her pie crusts. Tomorrow (Feb. 12), is the last day of Winterlicious, the Toronto festival that allows us all to try something, or someplace new.
We eat for pleasure, have memories wrapped up in the recipes we cook, and of course food sustains us.
If only we could, like Jennifer Bain, “Eat for a Living”. You can at least come to hear her talk about what it's like though. Jennifer Bain is the food editor for the Toronto Star and will provide a “free – ranging” (no cooped up chat here) talk about how she came to be a food writer, how Toronto’s food landscape is changing, and about the process of writing a cookbook.
A little context: Bain’s Toronto Star Cookbook won'the 2014 Taste Canada award for best English regional/cultural cookbook, and has hometown foodies feeling very proud.
The talk is at North York Central Library, 5120 Yonge St., in the Auditorium, on Wednesday, February 18 from 7:00 to 8:00 pm.
Meantime, read, explore…try out a new recipe.
One thought on “Everybody Eats”
Dudes talking pork at the dog park has become a real issue in this city. Is there any escape from the foodies?! Thank god for Pickle Barrel!
