EatDrink Forest City Cookbook Recipe Contest – EatDrink & WIN!  Calling all chefs, kitchen crafters and creative cooks! What can you make with London’s finest local ingredients? Our friends at Eatdrink magazine have cooked up a recipe contest for the chance to get your personal dish to go to print in London Ontario's first-ever community cookbook, our very own Forest City Cookbook.
Grill, shake, stir, and bake … What will you make? Send Eatdrink your best original recipe using locally grown ingredients and it may come to life with its place among those from the most inspiring chefs in town. Recipes will be judged on creativity, taste, flavour, ease of preparation based on submitted instructions and use of local ingredients. Submissions will be narrowed down to three, and the finalists’ recipes will be prepared and judged by Eatdrink’s panel of experts.
The prize: having your recipe (plus personal story and portrait) featured in the Forest City Cookbook, alongside 120+ original recipes from an impressive cast of the people behind your favourite restaurants, events, classrooms and small businesses here in London Ontario.
The contest opens September 5, 2017 and the deadline for recipe submissions is October 31, 2017. The winner will be announced by Eatdrink and the winner will then work with the Forest City Cookbook production team to have their winning submission finalized for inclusion in the Forest City Cookbook.
Full contest details and additional information will be posted soon, on Eatdrink.ca. Start the recipe writing!

Remembering Ann McColl's Kitchen Shop

Ann McColl Lindsay and David Lindsay: A Brief History of a Road Less Traveled Hospitality and the culinary arts have always gone hand in hand. In London, Ontario, we have a history of exceptional restaurateurs, chefs and culinary retailers. Among the latter are Ann McColl Lindsay and David Lindsay, the former proprietors of the legendary Ann McColl’s Kitchen Shop, one of Canada’s finest cookware shops. Ann and David met, married and taught school in Windsor, Ontario from 1961 to 1968. They resigned their positions, sold their red brick bungalow, and embarked on a year-long food pilgrimage across Europe while camping in a Volkswagen van. Travelling in the van with a gas burner allowed them to truly enjoy the local terroir. The first six months of their trip , which ended at the French border, is described in Ann’s memoir Hungry Hearts – A Food Odyssey across Britain and Spain . The second volume, Hearts Forever Young, includes their travels in France, Italy, Austria...

Homage to Toronto's Yorkville Landmarks the Coffee Mill  and  Le Trou Normand U p until just a few months ago, Le Trou Normand remained the oldest operating fine dining restaurant in Yorkville. Coincidentally, The Coffee Mill a venerated European-style cafe which recently celebrated 51 years in business closed earlier this month. Martha von Heczey’s Coffee Mill opened in May, 1963, in the now-demolished Lothian Mews, on Bloor Street. In 1973 , von Herczey  moved two blocks north to a mini-mall with Yorkville Avenue on one side, Cumberland Street on the other. There was a secluded terrace with an expandable awning in the event of rain. The Coffee Mill was practically right across the street from Le Trou Normand and it was one of my Yorkville haunts for over 30 years. Ms. von Heczey’s late husband Laci, a well-known wrestling champion, liked to wander around Yorkville with a tame cheetah on a leash.    Interestingly, in 19...

Manisay Visouvath and Fouzan (Rafael) Beg are the proprietors of Thaifoon, downtown London’s upmarket Thai restaurant. The restaurant remains a family affair. Visouvath is the youngest sister of Eddy and Alex Phimprhrachanh’s mother, Arounvaty, who is the head chef at Thaifoon and the matriarch of a Thai food dynasty in the city. Several of Arounvaty’s sisters have opened successful Thai restaurants in the city after being mentored in the kitchen by her.   Visouvath was born in the Southeast Asian country and came to Canada with her parents in 1980. Rafael is from Hyderabad India.  (Hyderabadi cuisine comprises a broad repertoire of rice, grains and meat dishes and the skilled use of various spices –  Indian cuisine has a longer, slower burn, rather than the sharper, built-up spiciness of Thai cuisine .)  Thaifoon’s with-it and tasteful take on the ancient Thai culture, with a décor that honours the past while embracing modernit...
