UNWIND CAFE - kensington market/toronto western hospital area
Thanks for sharing that blogto post. The author had the same sentiment I did :-)
bored with clam dip--football season, need inspiration PLEASE
What about the infamous spinach dip?
I am surprised no one has mentioned it.
Knorr dry vegetable soup mix is what I use as the base, I'm sure many variations exist if you search it
UNWIND CAFE - kensington market/toronto western hospital area
Felt compeled to come on here and support this small cafe on the outskirt of the market.
I have eaten there a few times, and love the vibe of the place.
Staff are nice and relaxed, and the food and beverages are delicious.
I am in LOVE with the espresso based drinks they serve (amazing latte).
The sandwiches are fresh, simple, and just hit the spot. All are heated on a panini press.
You can add a side salad (had the beet salad - another delicious choice. It was mixed with citrus and goat cheese). Other salads I saw were potato, bean and pasta.
Seems like they do a daily soup and a daily muffin, along with a few other small baked goods as well.
Also an extensive catering menu - apparently they are willing to deliver :)
A great addition to the neighbourhood. I hope to see them succeed!
Vegas Wedding - need advice, local input
I'm wondering if a buffet will corner off a section for you? The bellagio has an amazing amazing buffet and it's reasonably priced. Might not be the intimate gathering you are hoping for but the price is right and the food (good!) and plenty.
Your favourite Farmer's Markets and vendors?
St. Lawrence, Saturday early morning, the north market. My faves- the corn sold at the entranceway, and honey from the honey man (located on your left hand side when you enter the north market from the front street entranceway.
Chobani Greek Yoghurt
Summerhill Market definately has it. I see it there all the time. The single serving cups are 2.99 each.

Recs for meal to end Passover? Need for really good bread.
Another great sandiwch based meal place = negroni.
Just look it up on here - pretty much every chowhound loves the place.
The bread there is pretty delicious!
Meatloaf style gyros - where can I get these in the GTA?
Really? I will have to check this out as soon as I can! Thanks
Meatloaf style gyros - where can I get these in the GTA?
I guess I have to browse around the Danfourth. So far I've had no luck except when it was The Taste of the Danfourth.
Is King Soulvaki still open? I looked online and could not find a listing for it.
Thanks for the help!
Meatloaf style gyros - where can I get these in the GTA?
I'm craving meatloaf style gyros and cannot find a place in Toronto that seems to serve them.
Thanks in advance!
Vegan pizza that delivers to yonge and eglinton - late at night
Try magic oven. Not sure how late they are open but awesome menu for vegans
Best Chicken Parmigiana Take-Away in Toronto
California Sandwiches? The Queensway location.
Open Window Bakery closing?
Wow! Is this really true for all locations?
A married couple ran the one in my old neighbourhood since from when I can remember. This would be so sad for them!
Not to mention, they did alot of things really well! The chocolate cake was so delicious, and those gingerbreads irresistable.
The whole mom and pop feel of the place will be missed :(
Paratha Roti or "Buss-Up-Shut" in downtown Toronto
So your best bet is to call ahead at Ali's or Carribean Roti Palace.

Paratha Roti or "Buss-Up-Shut" in downtown Toronto
Interesting! My SO is Trinidadian and his family calls it "buss up shot" as does a cookbook we have.
Paratha Roti or "Buss-Up-Shut" in downtown Toronto
It is called "bust up shot". It is Trinidadian and it is delicious!
You can get it at Carribean Roti Palace on Bathurst. The KEY is you have to order it a day in advance. Most places do not make it on the fly.
Terroni's for a First Date?
Terroni pizza is delicious. I find the adelaide location quite cool and the vibe upbeat. I guess it depends what kind of date you want this to be. Sometimes a cooler, more relaxed and loud atmosphere is what girls like (tends to put less pressure on the date itself - doesn't reem too serious too soon either).
On another note, equally tasty and more cozy and romantic is Cafe Nervosa in Yorkville. Definately more intimate and will allow conversation to flow. For Yorkville the prices are very affordable and the food delicious. Service here is definately better and more flexible then terroni (oh how I wish Terroni would serve diet coke)

Jamaican oxtail recipe
Looking for an authentic jamaican oxtail recipe. Any help would be much appreciated!
ISO Authentic Italian Bread
La Rose is worth a visit. They do a nice Ciabatta that sounds similar to what you are describing but I'm not sure they have exactly what you are seeking.
ISO Authentic Italian Bread
La Rose Bakery in Etobicoke also offers a variety of fresh baked breads everyday.
Where can I buy the best fresh salsa in Toronto?
Agree with RotaryMobile. This was the first thing that came to my mind as well. Not sure if they sell it in containers though?
scones in Toronto
Cobb's bakery sells awesome raspberry and white chocolate scones! So tasty, almost abit too indulgent for breakfast though :) More like a sweet treat. They have other flavours too - cinnamon, etc.
What's good on College west these days?
I am a fan of Vecchio Frak. Family-owned, friendly service. The pizza is delicious and alot tastier then some of the other restaurants that tend to rule this board (eg. libretto). I don't mean to slam Libretto either. I truly had delicious appetizers and friendly service there, unfortunately I found the pizza dough too doughy to enjoy. Back on track, I think Vecchio Frak is a great place for a nice meal out with a friend.

ISO albumen or dried egg white powder?
Try bulk barn for the egg white powder.
Gluten free baking - Sobeys carries a line that does gluten-free cookies and such in their baked goods section.
Your easiest appetizer
The spinach dip recipe is always a crowd pleaser (one cup mayo, 500ml sour cream, frozen chopped spinach that has been thawed and drained of all water, and a bag of knorr veggie soup mix) It is super simple and really tasty. Do ahead the night before and voila. Serve with bread, cheese, veggies, etc. You can spice it up with some hot sauce.
Summerhill Market - Anniversary Sale on Now
I found the deals to be really great as well!
1/2 off summerhill chili.
1/2 off large fruit tray/veggie tray.
1.00 off fage yogurt, and other imported items also marked down.
The cashier told me the sales will change everyday during the sale which I believes ends Saturday.
The free samples throughout the store were also a nice touch :)
The sad state of falafel in Toronto
The best falafel I've had is from Ali Baba that just opened up on Dundas, west of Bathurst. The ingredients are always fresh, the toppings plenty and it's a great steal when the you can get 2 for 3.99 as one of the weekly specials (I forget which day of the week it is). I work in the area and eat here often. Everything is always fresh and consistent. I would highly recommend it for a quick, nutritious and affordable meal! There falafel balls are not huge and when they fry them the outside gets a nice crisp crust and the inside stays soft. Delicious. Extra garlic sauce is a must!
Wood fired pizza to go
You can also call any Terroni and place a to-go order for pick-up. I always do this.
Need Suggestions! NOT SPICE ROUTE or KULTURA, but...
Bier market (the King Street location), Nyood, The Drake, Ultra (definately the closest thing to Spice Route scene wise - had a pretty decent meal there for a friends bachelorette as well).
