  3. TOUM : Whipped garlic sauce🔥 INGREDIENTS: Makes about 2 cups - ½ cup garlic cloves (10 to 15, depending on size), peeled 2¼ teaspoon salt - 4 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (from 1 lemon), chilled, divided - 2 cups canola/ avocado oil, chilled STEPS: - Put the garlic in food processor, then add the salt and 2 tablespoons of the lemon juice. Pulse to mix. Then, with the motor running, slowly trickle in 1 cup of the oil. Be patient and take your time, or the sauce will not emulsify. A fluffy, light, white paste should start forming within 1 minute; keep slowly drizzling in the oil over the course of about 4 minutes. - Turn off the motor, scrape down the sides of the bowl, then turn the motor on again and drizzle in the remaining 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, followed by the remaining 1 cup of oil. The whole process will take 7 to 8 minutes. - Scrape into a container and let sit uncovered at room temperature to cool. Keep the sauce refrigerated in an airtight container for up to a month. Enjoy 😉 #toum #garlic #lebanon #lebanese #streetfood #dip #garlicdip #tasty #chef #yum

  1. J’ai trouvé ça drôle quand @francoislegault.pm a dit hier que tous les québécois ont hâte de retourner « manger » au restaurant. La réalité c’est que environ 250,000 québécois dépendent de cette industrie pour manger à la maison.

  2. STOP STEALING **FROM** RESTAURANTS J’écrit jamais ce genre de post sur les médias sociaux mais je commence à être tanné. Je me suis toujours demandé pourquoi les gens volent dans les restaurants. Car si je vous l’apprend, et bien oui, tous les restaurateurs que je connais ont leurs p’tites ou leurs grandes histoires de vol durant les heures d’ouverture. Art accroché au mur minutieusement choisi par les propriétaires, décorations souvent offertes par des clients/amis pour célébrer l’ouverture, ustensiles et vaisselle antiques, plantes, etc. La liste est interminable. C’est peut être quelqu’un qui s’est un peu trop laissé envoûter par les effets du vin nature et qui a perdu toute inhibition. C’est peut-être quelqu’un qui s’attendait à plus en venant manger au « meilleur restaurant au Canada » et voudrait se faire vengeance. C’est peut-être juste un cleptomane… Bizarrement je me suis habitué à ce genre de comportements aussi désagréable qu’invasif. C’est quand même étrange de s’habituer à se faire voler. Arrêtez de voler dans les resto, ça gosse. #piquercestvoler #bekind

  1. On avait un petit secret sur le chemin vers les Îles. On était pas deux, mais trois: Fel, moi et la petite chose qui poussait dans mon ventre depuis un moment. Dix semaines et deux jours à imaginer une vie avec notre bébé. Dix semaines et deux jours à aimer, rêver, espérer et se projeter avec ce petit être. À imaginer donner des becs sur sa mini tête de kiwi dans quelques mois. À élaborer mille projets, à se pincer d’avoir la chance de vivre ça, à s’émerveiller devant chaque nouvelle étape détaillée sur l’app de grossesse – un cœur qui se développe, des doigts, des genoux, des sens. Tellement, tellement d’amour. Dix semaines et deux jours pile avant que tout s’arrête, en plein milieu des vacances. Une fausse-couche, à un jet de pierre de la fameuse date «de sécurité». Comme 20% à 25% des grossesses. Une banalité selon les statistiques, mais un gouffre de tristesse, de colère, de sentiment d’injustice pour moi, pour nous. Un ventre vide, un deuil invisible immense. Une peine qui se ravive aussi à chaque rendez-vous prévu que je dois annuler, à chaque dossier que je dois fermer. Le visage aussi salé que la mer à force de pleurer. Bye, mon bébé censé arriver en même temps que les premiers bourgeons. Je ne sais pas où ranger tout l’amour, tous les rêves, tout l’espoir en attendant de finir de saigner, en attendant de pouvoir réessayer. J’espère que l’air salin va nous ramancher le coeur un brin pendant les quelques jours qui nous restent ici.

  2. Après huit ans (!!!) au @ellequebec et presque trois ans au @ellecanada, je quitte mon poste de Cheffe de contenu beauté/Beauty Director à la fin du mois pour aller relever un nouveau défi… sans partir bien loin! 🌞 La petite adjointe aux contenus beauté de 23 ans qui a fait son entrée au ELLE Québec en 2015 en a fait du chemin depuis. Je n’en revenais pas, à l’époque, d’avoir décroché ce poste et j’ai dû me pincer encore quelques fois au fil des magnifiques opportunités qui se sont présentées à moi depuis le tout début. Des centaines d’entrevues avec des personnalités d’ici et d’ailleurs – I mean, j’ai eu la chance d’interviewer Kate Winslet et Dame Helen Mirren, c’est quand même incroyable! –, un selfie avec RiRi, des événements aux quatre coins de la planète, des bouclages à des heures pas possibles, des milliers de lancements, des collègues et des PR devenu.e.s ami.e.s pour la vie, des rencontres avec des gens – scientifiques, maquilleuses et maquilleurs, photographes, name it – qui débordent de talent… les dernières années ont été fabuleuses, exigeantes (ça paraît pas sur IG parce que c’est un peu ma job aussi de faire en sorte que tout semble easy breezy!) et extrêmement formatrices! Je ne le dirai jamais assez: je suis immensément fière de travailler dans l’univers des magazines féminins. Ce sont des vecteurs de sociétés importants qui abordent certains sujets bien avant d’autres médias et qui, oui, contribuent à faire avancer les choses. J’estime bien humblement avoir réussi à laisser ma marque aux ELLEs, que ce soit par les sujets abordés, les personnes misent de l’avant ou les plumes avec lesquelles j’ai eu le plaisir de collaborer dans ma section. Et ça me remplit de fierté. J’ai aussi eu la chance, pendant ces 8 années, de travailler avec les plus belles équipes qui soient, que ce soit chez TVA Publications ou chez KO Média. Gâtée pourrie, je vous dis! Très hâte à la suite des choses (et vous pourrez me lire dans les ELLEs jusqu’au début de l’année prochaine, j’ai plein de chouettes dossiers en cours!)

  3. J’avais peur que la première fausse couche nous vole notre candeur. Elle en a chipé un petit bout, c’est indéniable. Mais je me suis surprise à savourer le même bonheur en voyant un nouveau test positif, début mai. Avec un voile d’appréhension, bien sûr, mais aussi une envie de me laisser porter, un jour à la fois. On se disait : « C’est quoi, les chances que ça nous arrive encore ? » On se disait : « De toute façon, on sait qu’on peut le traverser, ce grand chemin de peine. » Mais bon, c’est pas parce qu’on peut qu’on veut, han ? Cette grossesse-là aura duré sept semaines. Sept semaines de petits émerveillements, sept semaines de bonheur prudent. À imaginer notre bébé de janvier comme un rayon de soleil dans le froid polaire. Une étoile filante qui laisse derrière elle beaucoup de peine, d’incompréhension et de colère. Encore. Le chemin tant espéré vers la parentalité est, pour nous, parsemé de deuils et d’espoirs éteints. C’est pas le pire, mais c’est loin d’être le plus doux. Je ne sais pas à quoi la suite va ressembler. Encore de l’attente ? Encore des déceptions ? Encore des murs et des murs de salles d’examen à l’hôpital ? Pour l’instant, je perds mon deuxième bébé bouts par bouts, larme par larme. Et j’apprends, encore une fois, à faire de la place au vide.

  2. ❤️ Proud Parenting Moment - If you’ve dined with us this summer and enjoyed any of our buns, focaccia, biscuits, crackers, shortbreads, crème brûlées, carrot cake, pavlovas and more, you can thank Zoé. She’s been a fixture in the bakery every morning all summer. Aside from some occasional help from her mom (@feistychef) Zoe has single handedly run the bakery day in and day out. 🍞🥖🥯 Watching our kids grow up around The Canteen over the last 10 years has been pretty special, but finally seeing one of them contribute in a significant way and be a valued member of the team is definitely the icing on the cake. Today was Zoé’s last day of her summer session. We wanted to take a minute to celebrate her and all that she’s accomplished over the past two months. ZT - You’re one of a kind and we couldn’t be prouder of you. Thanks for being such an important part of our family biz. Now we just need to get your little bro in the mix! ❤️❤️ ~ Mom & Dad PS - DON’T FORGET TO CHECK THE LIST!!

  3. We had to take a moment to share this moment of gratitude with you. 🙏🙏 July and August on Portland Street were nothing short of amazing. We welcomed so many new guests from all over the world and were thrilled to see so many of our loyal regulars throughout summer. Thanks to you all for choosing to dine with us. Connecting with you and hosting you in our space is what makes what we do so special. Most importantly, we want to say a huge thanks to our incredible team who knocked it out of the park day in day out all summer! It’s been truly remarkable to watch this team operate in a very busy and oftentimes hot environment. This group of hospitality professionals has shown us what’s possible when you assemble a crew who truly care about their craft and have each other’s backs no matter what. We feel honoured that you chose to work at The Canteen and that you continue to raise the bar every day. We also wanted to send a special shout out to our summer students - many of whom are headed back to school tomorrow (sorry guys - it’s true). We love you all and want you to know that you give us hope for next the generation! We know that summer ain’t over yet, but the start of September is always an important milestone in our business. We survived yet another summer season (mostly intact) and we’re excited about what fall has to bring!! Thanks again for continuing to help us keep this dream alive and well on Portland Street. We couldn’t do it without you. Much love, Renée & Doug ❤️❤️ (And thanks to @jamesarthurmaclean for 📸!)

  1. David Chaim Jacob Zilber,⠀ ⠀ It’s been a day since you I watched you press a paint-slicked palm into the wall of the Lab and pack your knives one last time. 24 hours of reflection later and I still don’t quite have the words to articulate what the hell I’m supposed to say to the guy who brought me over the pond to begin another crazy adventure. You will be dearly missed at Noma, and my only regret about our time working side by side is that it was as brief as it was (and maybe the milk pichia trials too...and maybe the beaver garum...I digress).⠀ ⠀ With every slip, snag, stumble and outright failure we might have had in the Lab, the notion of “Onwards and upwards” was often your response. At this fork in the road, I hope we both promise each other to heed that quote as we go our separate ways. For you, I hope you promise to continue inspiring others on a scale no longer restricted by these walls; spreading the gospel of staying curious to a hungry audience while looking damn fashionable in the process. As for me, I’ll take care of our Lab; I’ll keep the ethanol topped up, make sure the super-critical fluid extractor is super-critically extracting, and build. Build on all that you, and everyone else who has ever shared our space, have created. A continuing mission. Hell, I’ll even mist the ant farm from time to time. Promise.⠀ ⠀ John G. Kemeny said “It is the greatest achievement of a teacher to enable his students to surpass him.” (Kemeny, I’m sure you know, is responsible for co-developing BASIC programming language. I’m sure I don’t have to spell out the parallels between his work, and what you have done for the field of fermentation.) One does not “say” gratitude; one expresses it. Where words fail me now, I hope you consider the forward progression of The Fermentation Lab as testament of your influence and mentoring. I will use everything you have taught me and all the wisdom you provided to push this Lab forward; to explore, seek out and boldly go onwards and upwards.⠀ ⠀ Thank you for being the best teacher, colleague, friend, Miyagi, Kenobi... ⠀ ⠀ Kev⠀ Chef of Research and Production⠀ ⠀ The Fermentation Lab⠀ noma

  3. I spent a lot of time staring at an empty text box where this caption is now, trying to think of what to say about my meal at @jatakcph . It’s not enough to say that the food was delicious, that the service was as warm and attentive as one could ask for, that it was inspiring to see what all these people who I respected and admired so much were able to create. Clichés like those (as true as they are) tend to write themselves with experiences like that, so it feels almost cheap to use them. ⁣ ⁣ I came to the realization that all of my thoughts towards my meal could be epitomized by how I felt about one of the courses. The main course at Ja Tak arrives with a side car of house-made lap cheong. Never mind that the rest of the main course involves juicy, char siu-glazed Hindsholm pork, or that the rest of the menu eats like a dream; this understated plate of dry-cured Chinese pork sausage played on childhood strings that had long collected dust, abandoned for, shall we say, whiter pastures. ⁣ ⁣ So how does this tie in to a bit of cured meat served at a hot new restaurant on Rantzausgade? I grew up eating lap cheong, but the lap cheong of my youth was sad, generic, pumped full of nitrates, MSG and god-knows-what-else. To put it simply, I moved on to better things, regarding lap cheong as having exhausted it’s potential. To come full circle as an adult, and to be served a lap cheong treated with the same respect an Italian would treat the highest quality salumi, was a reckoning that I’m still struggling to put into words a day later. It’s a declaration to presumed lost causes; a movement to explore the potential in all ingredients, whether luxurious or humble, celebrated or denigrated. ⁣ ⁣ Buy stock in @jatakcph ; I know I am. Buy stock, because there’s something special happening here, and I don’t want to be the one to say “I told you so” at some juncture down the line.

  1. So close, we can feel it. Chez Céline, our new home, will open to the public on *Friday, May 23rd.* Expect the edgy charm of Montréal, the effortless elegance of Paris and the communal warmth of Québec’s casse-croûtes come alive inside a beaming, beautiful room on the corner of Fraser & 27th. It’s been a crazy few months leading up to our grand opening, but we’re over the moon and can’t wait to embrace our new neighbourhood and community. Reservations will be opening soon and we’ll always leave ample room for walk-ins. Please follow this space for the latest news & highlights as we get nearer to opening. So much love. We can’t wait to have you. - Margaux, David & J—C. ♟️ PS - A heartfelt thanks to dearest Michelle @scoutmagazine for the in-depth Chez Céline profile that got published today. Please hit the link in our bio to read the full article. 🐾 XOXO #chezcéline #fraserhood #yvropeningsoon #fundining

  1. It’s taken me a long time to process. Michelin is something I’ve looked up to for my whole cooking career, saving all of my pennies to buy cookbooks by the likes of @m_bras1961 and a legion of great chefs that have come before us. I have dug deep on this one, in the end I will take it and interpret it as such, a pat on the back, a proud moment, a hug for the countless hours in the kitchen over 3 plus decades. Thank you @michelinguide , all the amazing chefs that have spent their time, given their talents, left their imprint on our little restaurant. To the crew now @felixmaristany @concretesurfers @b_ramps @pepper_annarchy and all you lovely people. To my partners @janice_ping @soberalain whom have seen me through thick and thin. To my many mentors in and out of the kitchen. To the foh 👏 @justin_isidro @belsiu to name just a couple. Thank you for working so hard. Finally congratulations to all the people recognized and those who will be. Thank you to @garrisonbespoke for keeping me sharp! A special thank you to @jcpoirier my brother. Blessed. Thank you to my mother for always believing in me, to my father for showing me what hard work and determination can achieve. Also, the man with the fish is my grandfather Joseph Costa, a great cook, gone too soon but I hope I made him proud ❤️

  2. “HIDDEN AWAY IN THE UNLIKELY LOCALE of a second-storey Chinatown loft, this jazzy supper club transports you to a time when people dressed for dinner and a night on the town. Dreamed up by Tannis Ling, owner of Bao Bei, along with longtime executive chef Joël Watanabe, sous-chef Alain Chow and chef de cuisine Felix Maristany, it’s a place designed for holding hands in dimly lit corners. The imaginative and shareable menu is a sophisticated confluence of Japanese and Italian cuisines. Where else might you find charcoal udon with Dungeness crab and Calabrian chili butter, or coppa (dry-cured pork shoulder) with sukiyaki glaze? Bar manager Fraser Crawford and wine director Belinda Siu preside over a sprawling selection of libations from Italy, Japan and elsewhere, plus clever cocktails that, like the food, deftly walk the tightrope between Kissa Tanto’s two culinary ports of call.” Thank you for the distinct honour of naming KT No.10 on the 2024 @canadas100best list. A list is a lovely thing, bringing with it new attention and renewed verve. It is special for the whole crew, front and back of house. 🙏🏼 Many congratulations to our Vancouver friends @published.on.main @stlawrencerestaurant @labattoir_van @annalenayvr @blvdyvr @wildbluerestaurant @botanistdining @maenamrestaurant @mott32van @laquerciakitchen @masayoshisushi @burdockandco @cioppinosyaletown @hawksworthrest @tetsusushibar_van @savio_volpe @elephantinvancouver @sushihil_restaurant And kudos to our friends @vinmonlapin at No.1

First up, we have Executive Chef @chefalbertponzo of @theroyalhotelpicton who we’ve been working with for many, MANY years. Learn more about the amazing local food program he’s launched at the picturesque Royal Hotel in Picton, PEC. 🎥 by the ever talented @truenature_media .

  2. For us, sustainability starts in the kitchen. Buying local not only supports our local economy but also ensures the produce we serve to you is in season and at the height of its nutritional value. Celebrate Earth Day with us, today and everyday with each bite a tribute to the seasons, our local growers and this beautiful County we call home.
