Foodists is a collective of like-minded food worshippers. We breathe and sleep in order to eat and drink. Have something to share with us? We'd love to hear from you. If it's something to eat or drink, even better.

Most people are pretty excited when they find out that I write a chocolate blog. They think it’s fun and frivolous and maybe just a little bit glamorous. Well, I’m still waiting for the glamour part, but …

Seared Tenderloin with braised spinach, tomato confit, tomato powder and peanut veloute.

The streets were eerily quiet last Sunday morning before the men’s gold medal hockey game, Canada v.s. the US. Line-ups of fans were winding around the block outside bars, all decked in red.
My friends and I…

I pride myself that I have never stolen anything in my whole life. But every morning as I walk my daughter to daycare I pass a house and see sausages just hanging outside the window. I am now tempted to steal every single…

I first heard of Perry while watching a great little show from the UK called ‘Oz and James Drink to Britain‘ where they try to find the one true drink that best represents Britain. Perry is very similar to…

French lemon tart is, naturally, more complicated than your average lemon tart. It’s a four-component dessert: sweet dough, almond cream, lemon custard, Italian meringue. It happened to be the focus of the fourth lesson…

I was walking by beautiful bunches of organic young golden beets when a stark realization hit me that I’d never cooked beets. Ashamed of myself, being a foodist and all, I grabbed a bunch and was determined to cook them…

Yesterday I wandered the rainy streets of Kits sipping my first taste of Thomas Haas chocolate and ended up at the Salvation Army. I always look for used cookbooks that cover a particular ethnicity or from the…

It started innocently enough. “Who owns Okanagan Spring Brewing?” asked my wife one evening last week. “Sleeman, I think.”
But then I wondered… who owned Sleeman? And who owned them?…

I can’t count the times I’ve heard Mark say, “There’s something about being creative and loving food that goes hand-in-hand.” On top of that, I certainly can’t count the instances where…

Some of you know that my 2010 resolution is to not eat or drink anything of which I don’t know the origins. It is a ton of research. It seems impossible to eat at a restaurant- yes, the best ones know most of their…

At a very early age my mother taught my brothers and I how to bake. Instead of getting sweets in our lunches for school, the three of us each had to bake a batch on Sunday night for the upcoming week. On rare occasions…
