What I Miss About Toronto Life Australian beach life means I do not pine for Toronto life very often… It’s hard to reminisce when you have sunshine, 28 degrees celsius weather, and crystal blue water replete with local dolphin pods on your doorstep. Even though Toronto boasts 9 months of winter weather (replete with 6 […]
Bunner’s Bakeshop Toronto – Part 2 I used to accuse my fellow vegans of “vegan lies”. Chocolate avocado mousse tastes like standard mousse! LIE. Vegan cheese tastes like dairy cheese! LIE. This sorbet is as good as ice cream! More f****ng LIES. I’ve been told by North Nomad, that I engage in these lies, too. […]
Do you ever travel to cities or countries and your main priority is food? This happens to me when we go to our old home – Toronto, Canada. Toronto’s Downtown Entertainment District is home to a cluster of vegan and vegetarian restaurants – not what you expect from the Canadian culture of eating poutine, hot […]
The Harsh Reality of Canadian Winter It’s that time of year again Canada. After the fun of pumpkin spice EVERYTHING and Halloween, Winter arrives with black ice, dirty snow downtown, and hydro outages. Every time an Australian friend proclaims how lovely a REAL winter would be, I get the feeling they’re thinking of snowboarding […]
Steam Whistle Toronto Steam Whistle Brewing is what I refer to as Toronto’s Willy Wonka’s Factory for adults. The brewery is set just up from the harbourfront at the historic Roundhouse in Toronto. It’s a preserved locomotive roundhouse, which is also home to Toronto’s Train Museum. The sun glints off the trains out the front […]
Five Best Vegan Meals in Toronto Living in South East Asia for 6 months, and there are certain things you begin to crave. They feel like luxuries at first, and turn into NECESSITIES. North Nomad is missing good ol’ fashioned burgers. He’s missing Swiss Chalet. He’s missing poutine and ribs. Being a vegan in Chiang […]
Body Blitz Toronto In The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, there’s a captain of the spaceship who doesn’t leave his bath — ever. He commands from the bath, he eats from the bath, he socialises from the bath. This would be me, if I had the choice. The bath, or the ocean, or a hot tub, […]
5 Things I Miss About Toronto Last week, North Nomad and I were having a discussion about things we missed about the Western world. Having an oven came in close to the top for both of us. Living in extreme heat and humidity without the ocean in front of us was also a shared gripe. […]
Bunner’s Bakery Toronto When you don’t eat dairy or eggs, trying to get a cake or dessert can be a minefield in a normal baker’s or grocery store. Now, imagine that difficulty, and being intolerant to gluten. And I know that it’s popular on the internet these days to be scathing of those folk who […]
Updated: Sadie’s Diner Toronto Sadly, Sadie’s Diner closed after we moved back to Australia! I wish I’d had those perogies one more time… I have a mild obsession with fried tofu. Golden, nuggety chunks of tofu, fried lightly in oil are indeed a thing of beauty. Any time I post photos on social media […]
