Food Glorious Food, And Wine Too
Watching chefs on TV can be a bit misleading. Lighting, camera tricks and a gaggle of food stylists in the wings make preparing food look effortless and easy. To get a feel for the real thing you’d have to wander into a kitchen, but seeing how chefs get mighty protective of their workspaces and a lot of them are very good with knives Torontoist will settle for watching them work at this weekend’s Food and Wine Show. Starting Friday some of the city’s best emerging chefs will chop, dice, sautee and hopefully leave us all a little hungrier.
The expo is the largest and possibly the tastiest in Canada. It’s also a great place to learn about wine with tutored tastings, exhibitors and more. So even if you’re still drinking wine out of a box or nodded in agreement to Paul Giammiti’s wine assesments in Sideways you might learn something. This year the expo focuses on the emerging wine regions of South Africa. With Australian wines no longer the great bargain they used to be, it’s good to see that other options are on the horizon. The expo starts tommorow at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre, tickets are $15.
