~Marvelous Macarons
Le macaron - mythical French pastry or a sweet treat that you can whip up at home, no special equipment required. In this class, you will learn the secrets to virtually no-fail macarons using everyday kitchen items. Astonish your friends with these “look-way-more-difficult-than-they-really-are” mouthfuls of deliciousness. In this two hour class, we will make two different flavoured and coloured macarons each with its own ganache filling. The class will be hands on and you will practice the technique of macaronnage (getting the batter just so) and piping perfect macs.

Thor Espresso Bar - anyone been?

Yes it is worthy of a detour. The machine is a sight to see, as is the wall mural and the coffee is very good. Be warned though as there is limited seating.

Best place for Piedmont region Italian food?

If the timing works - Massimo Bruno does a wonderful Italian experience. I've been to Italy several times and have an Italian background. I've been to Massimo's 3 times and he will not disappoint.

One Sister Underground‏??

Hi,
I'll be visiting Chcago soon and just learned of this. Looks liek something I'd love to do, haas anyone been?

Head to chef Iliana Regan’s (One Sister Pierogi) Andersonville abode and snag one of ten spots at her communal table. After greeting you at the door, Regan retreats to her culinary lab, leaving you to chat with fellow foodies and sip from your flask (spot-on pairing suggestions are provided in advance).

Balancing molecular gastronomy (an everlasting gobstopper pomegranate shell encircling egg yolk and date puree) and simplicity (freshly foraged ramps, fava beans, honeydew sorbet), she unveils each of the ten elaborately imaginative courses one by one (and more than a few extras).

A perfectly paired sound track is in the works (gangsta rap enhances the “Xplicit” foie gras; “Octopus’s Garden” plays alongside root beer-infused squid).

Molecular Gastronomy ingredients in the GTA

My fav was the roasted red pepper and orange ice cream. Did either of you write down the brand name of the orange olive oil or the jar of roasted red peppers? I went back later that week to SLM to buy the oil and peppers at Scheffler's Deli but they had neither.
