Back in Canada and ready for a busy summer with Catherine & Amanda, I am rejuvenated and ready to take on what 2015 holds for us all. Toronto has always been known for its food culture and ability to create experiences like no other. It’s one of the many reasons why I am SO excited to tell you about the recent partnership of Cheese Boutique & Samuel Adams in the creation of The League of Extraordinary Chefs. Five unique dinners with some of the best chefs in Toronto are coming and you are not going to want to miss them!
