Toronto | The #DoTheDaniel Summer Restaurant Roundup

I’ve been sitting staring at my laptop screen, writing and rewriting this paragraph over and over. Trying desperately to come up with an introduction to my summer restaurant list for Toronto that doesn’t sound pretentious. The last thing I would ever want for DoTheDaniel.com to become is that. I could tell you that I worked in the restaurant industry for ten years, but then I get preachy and speak server (yes, it is a whole other language). I could tell you that every one of the following restaurants is an absolutely must and HAVE to go, but that might sound demanding. So why don’t I just say this… The following restaurants, in my professional opinion, all have something different to offer you this summer in Toronto. Let me tell you which ones you can find the team & I enjoying in the sun and how you can do the same! Continue reading “Toronto | The #DoTheDaniel Summer Restaurant Roundup”

Food & Wine | Campo Viejo takes you to the #StreetsOfSpain

I can’t believe it has been almost a month since I attended the amazing #StreetsOfSpain evening with Campo Viejo in Toronto. For a few days in a west end location, the city was transformed with beautiful food and art. Follow the #StreetsOfSpain hashtag to check out exactly what I mean. It truly made me think back to my time in Barcelona. There is something magical and indescribable about the literal streets of Spain. With the warmth of a culture that has helped to define the world, food that rivals the best I have ever eaten and wine that… well I fell in love with. During the Streets Of Spain campaign here in Toronto, I truly felt like I was back in the city I loved so much during my travels. I was even fortunate enough to attend an intimate dinner with a menu prepared by Chef Maria Jose San Roman (all the way from Spain might I add!) & our local legend Chef Stuart Cameron. Let me tell you all about my experience! Continue reading “Food & Wine | Campo Viejo takes you to the #StreetsOfSpain”

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”
