Food & Wine | Recipieces.ca & You

For the majority of us, life is full of to do lists, chores and errands that take up our energy and time. Not to mention work, family & friends, we also have to find the time to be inspired to cook delicious and nutritious meals at home after it all. Some days are easier then others, and sometimes we succumb to the inevitable take out because it is just too easy. I have written about other brands and companies that try to solve that problem of inspiration and convenience in the kitchen by bringing everything you need to the door. Recently I was asked to try out Recipieces.ca, a delivery system that brings pre-portioned fresh ingredients and delicious recipes to you. Let me tell you about my experience and why those of you living in the city of Toronto need to try it out as well. Continue reading “Food & Wine | Recipieces.ca & You”

Review by Catherine’s Cabinet

I am a believer in the power of Food & Wine in every day life. With my focus on the Canadian market, I am always looking to support homegrown products and brands that best represent the Canadian wine production both at home and abroad. But what about International Wine regions and varietals that arrive in Canada to best represent their markets? Sometimes the fact remains that Canada , as amazing as it is, simply cannot produce wine like they can. Every so often the world of Canadian Wine is made better by the availability of International products, varietals and regions.

Conegliano Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore (say that 3 times fast!) is one of those regions which has recently launched a massive campaign in Canada to promote both this iconic Italian wine region and its main export Prosecco Superiore. Let me tell you why, if you’re in the market for an Italian Prosecco that represents the best of Italian Prosecco, this is what you need to be looking for next.
