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.
Did you know that Fat Tuesday, or Pancake Tuesday, is also known as Paczki Day? The idea being that making these little balls of loveliness use up all the extra “sugar, lard, eggs and fruit in the house, which are…

Thanksgiving is almost upon us and it’s time to start the menu planning and shopping. But once you’ve got your turkey and stuffing, what else will fill your plate? I’m a fan of riced potatoes, green…

I love innovative car commercials, especially when they involve confectionary and cake! This ad for Skoda has a rather large team creating a life-size replica of the car, complete with engine and interior. Reminds me a…

That’s how I would describe the chocolate that just melted in my mouth. And given that it’s from a new shop called Mink, the words seem rather fitting. Mink opened last week at 863 West Hastings (Vancouver),…

A group of friends and myself have gone out for wings and beer every Tuesday night for 5 years. Sometimes it’s just two of us and sometimes it’s upwards of 15. It’s a great way for people to catch up as…

Oatmeal are possibly my favourite variety of cookie. Not too sweet. Not too crunchy. Not too anything. The ideal oatmeal cookie is all about balance. And this weekend I think I met my match. Our good friends Chris and Jen…
