Travel & Lifestyle | Tonight we Tanqueray with Tanqueray No. TEN

It’s no secret that I love a good cocktail. Look through my insta feed and you will see many pictures of these delish creations, me holding these delish creations, cheersing these delish creations – you get the picture. So when I was given the chance to be among the first to taste some of the new and exclusive Tanqueray No. TEN cocktails on offer at Gaucho, on the Summer Citrus Terrace in Canary Wharf, I jumped at it.

Food & Wine | “Nice knife skills, Chef”

That’s my Dad. I am currently (and dangerously) cutting an apple into quarters: apple-half standing up instead of lying flat on the cutting board, fingers sprawled out instead of curved under.

He’s right; of course, my knife skills are horrendous. You can’t cut anything properly while asking it to defy gravity like that. I am tempting fate to cut off a digit or two.

Did I mention that I’m ten? Continue reading “Food & Wine | “Nice knife skills, Chef””

Food & Wine | Ready to take your #TyrrellsFirstBite with Tyrrells English Chips?

Okay. Listen. I may be working REALLY hard to get back into shape, but there is one thing I have a serious weakness for. Salty, crispy and delicious potato chips. So when my friends at Tyrrells English Chips decided to send over a parcel of their latest flavours, I essentially HAD to say yes. Did I also mention that they contain no artificial ingredients, are gluten free AND vegan friendly? If you haven’t have a chance to try this “Exceedingly English” brand of yummy goodness, I’ve got all the reasons why you should!

Toronto | Shangri-La Hotel Toronto X Luca Cinalli of Nightjar London create the best cocktails in Toronto

With the autumn well under way and beauty all around us, I am left switching my mentality to more indoor activities and entertainment. I love to spend as much time outdoors exploring the city I love, and I would always recommend you do the same. As the colder weather begins to creep over Canadian cities from coast to coast, I am of course drawn to the idea of getting on a plane with Julio and going away. I got to thinking where in the world I would take him and the answer became evident. London is my favourite city in the world and I have seen the globe twice over. From the culture to the class found in every corner.. It’s hard to explain but it just feels like the city I am supposed to end up in.

So when Shangri-La Hotel Toronto contacted me to speak of a visit from award winning mixologist Luca Cinalli of The Nighthjar in London, I was intrigued to say the least. His visit coincides with the launch of a brand new cocktail list at one of my favourite places to escape the cold in Toronto. Be it for a stay in the hotel or a delicious meal at bosk, the fact remains that the following four cocktails are the best in Toronto. THAT is a bold statement, but once you read about them and Luca’s masterful art, I have no doubt you’ll be heading to Shangri-La Hotel Toronto to try them all for yourself. Don’t forget to drink responsibly, but I do guess that some young adults may want to join in on the fun and some of the best fake ID sites out there will be inundated with requests!
