CoopSpeak Eats....they call me MamaCoop!: The Naked Truth
http://coopspeakeats.blogspot.com/2012/12/the-naked-truth.html
CoopSpeak Eats.they call me MamaCoop! Sunday, December 9, 2012. I'm not an easy room to play to when it comes to prepared sauces. After being married to an Italian for 29 years I know a thing or two about sugo. So when Sizzling Communications. Invited me to a product launch for Louise Prete's. Prepared jarred red sauce I was leery about just what this sauce would be like. Fork twirling. Taste. More fork twirling. Silence. Finally we speak. Me: So, what do you think? Him: You didn't make this sauce? Nothi...

CoopSpeak Eats....they call me MamaCoop!: Reel Eats - From Screen to Table
http://coopspeakeats.blogspot.com/2012/02/reel-eats-from-screen-to-table.html
CoopSpeak Eats.they call me MamaCoop! Monday, February 6, 2012. Reel Eats - From Screen to Table. The idea of taking film about food and translating it in to real time, real life and better yet, real food makes me as giddy as Dr. Sheldon Cooper (The Big Bang Theory) would be at the thought of being locked in ComicCon after hours. Bazinga! I'm such a gastro-nerd. Of the most fun kind, a moniker that I must say, I much prefer over the label of being called a Foodie. Of Sushi Making for the Soul. All in all...

CoopSpeak Eats....they call me MamaCoop!: My Weekend With Walter
http://coopspeakeats.blogspot.com/2014/03/my-weekend-with-walter.html
CoopSpeak Eats.they call me MamaCoop! Monday, March 3, 2014. My Weekend With Walter. I'm not a particularly big fan of Caesar's, I am, on the other hand, a big fan of the weekend. So when I got asked if I would possibly be willing to take home some Walter Caesar. Mix to give it a test go, I thought, just maybe I could bring my own twist to the Canadian Classic. So it was going to be a weekend with Walter. As for the Mildly Spiced, it was ok, and ultimately became delegated for other purposes in my pantry.

CoopSpeak Eats.they call me MamaCoop! Saturday, February 11, 2012. I have two words for you Galen Weston.Flock Ewe. Farmer's markets are great.One day they're going to kill some people though. I'm just saying that to be dramatic though.". Galen Weston - 2012 Canadian Food Summit (2012 CFS - #FS2012). Choice off the cuff remark set off a tsunami of a social media tweeting frenzy which led to his second mistake. Never under estimate the power of 140 characters. The vitriol that bled out into the tw...I kno...

CoopSpeak Eats.they call me MamaCoop! Friday, July 13, 2012. Yes, I am proud to be a Mangiacake. Buddaboom. Buddabing. Dear Rose DiManno, if I'm a Mangiacake. Then you my dear, are what we Brits would refer to as a Wanker. The title of your latest article " When will Toronto street food reflect its population? Should have really been called "Wow, I can't believe that I actually get paid to churn out this drivel.". Where is Freddie Krueger when you need him? Yeah Rosie, I'm a Mangiacake. Don't use the wor...

CoopSpeak Eats....they call me MamaCoop!: Butter Up - Part 1
http://coopspeakeats.blogspot.com/2012/03/butter-up-part-1.html
CoopSpeak Eats.they call me MamaCoop! Friday, March 23, 2012. Butter Up - Part 1. It took me years to figure out that you don't fall into a tub of butter, you jump for it. Imagine an evening where butter was the focal point and you had a chef, let's say one like Lynn Crawford, churning out (pardon the buttery pun) oodles of little bits and bites all consisting of butter. Someone please pinch me, am I dreaming or is this my dream come true? To give Stirling Creamery. Jose Arato of Pimenton. Get outta my w...

CoopSpeak Eats.they call me MamaCoop! Monday, May 28, 2012. It's 6:00 am on a Sunday morning and my alarm just went off. I'm up and at it for my first Mushroom Foraging experience hosted by the Culinary Adventure Company. And I keep reminding myself that once I get my eyelids pried open this is going to be fun. I'm instructed by Chef Scott Savoie to meet up with the group at a little nest of a park quietly tucked away on a cul de sac on the southside of Lawrence, just west of the Don Valley Parkway.

CoopSpeak Eats....they call me MamaCoop!: Artisanale ....worth the drive to Guelph
http://coopspeakeats.blogspot.com/2012/08/artisanale-worth-drive-to-guelph.html
CoopSpeak Eats.they call me MamaCoop! Thursday, August 2, 2012. Artisanale .worth the drive to Guelph. Woolwich Street is my most favorite street in Guelph. It is the street where one will find the best eating and quaffing that Guelph has to offer. It's reputation for being the street to hit up was solidified by the recent relocation of the local French restaurant called Artisanale. I am very familiar with Artisanale. I have been very fortunate to have, over the past couple of weeks, been able to experie...

CoopSpeak Eats....they call me MamaCoop!: The Flower is on the Bloom
http://coopspeakeats.blogspot.com/2011/06/flower-is-on-bloom.html
CoopSpeak Eats.they call me MamaCoop! Wednesday, June 22, 2011. The Flower is on the Bloom. A night to hang with my sisters in food crimes! I was so down with that. The hosts welcomed us with some lovely light cocktail offerings of Bloom Mojitos or the Blooming Buds. Both were refreshing and a great way to start up the evening. Line It was a perfect Amuse Bouche and got my taste buds all roaring and ready to go. While I liked the Tuna, I'm a meat loving kinda girl and the flank steak was a home run. ...

BistroGal: School Nights
http://bistrogal.blogspot.com/2013/01/school-nights.html
Wednesday, January 9, 2013. New menu planning is underway. New projects are being ignited. Everyone is taking a deep breath, exhaling relief that we made it, and finding space to move forward. A few years ago, Alex and I were staying in Toronto at the Drake. Hotel I love the Drake for many reasons (and it is not the peaceful night's sleep that you get, be ready to embrace a party! When we opened The Other Side (as I have since found out it is called out in the world), I began pretty quickly trying to mak...
