Green Living Show Media Preview 2018

March 12, 2018 Shuang Shan
IMG_1741.JPG

The Green Living Show is an event that I visit each year ever since my high school days when it first started. The show has grown and changed a lot over the years but my family and I return back to it because it showcases new products and services that are innovative and impactful to our environment and community. 

The food selection at the show has been getting better each and every year, showcasing eateries that are dedicated to using local ingredients while making dishes from all corners of the world. 

Here are some photos from the media preview night where we got to sample a lot of the different dishes and test out a few products.

Eat to the Beat 2017

November 5, 2017 Shuang Shan

There’s nothing more I love then an event that showcase the great culinary finds within our city. Toronto’s gastronomic scene is constantly involving and refining our collective palette as we grow together. Whenever I get a chance to taste a multitude of eateries within the same night without the need to teleport, I get overly excited and blissful. Eat to the Beat is one of my favourite events and it has a special place within my heart as it showcases all the amazing female chefs and their dishes. This year, 60 female chefs came together to cook in support of the Canadian Cancer Society at Roy Thompson Hall and it was truly a night to remember and savour.

Eat to the Beat is one of my favourite culinary events and it will return on October 17th at Roy Thompson Hall. 60 female chefs will be coming together to cook up a storm for The Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation. I was lucky enough to attend the event last year and captured many of the chefs in action and tasted their dishes. It’s a fun night to sample some of the city’s best plates to support a great cause and put a spotlight on the amazing women within our food industry.

If you wish to taste 60 dishes in one night, without the need of teleporting all over Toronto and support breast cancer research, check out Eat to the Beat and get your tickets here.

Dixonlicious 2017

Recently I attended Dixonlicious, the annual food event hosted by Dixon Hall. It's a night of culinary celebration in support of vital food programs. The night was a chance to fund raise for services that bring hot meals to senior homes and homeless shelters as well as providing breakfasts and snacks for students. So many great food friends came out, Linda from Starving Foodie, Natalie from Cooking Quidnunc, and Mary from Mary's Happy Belly.  There were also lots of great vendors showcased their gastronomy talents. Watch the video above for my recap of the night.
