This special time of year we call Leafy Green Season 🌿

It’s short-lived as fall settles in, but right now the farms are absolutely plentiful — turnips, Swiss chard, pak choi, apples, sprouting broccoli, fine herbs, big steaks and kohlrabi.

All from the incredible team at @bluegoosefarm, making their way into the kitchen at @primeseafoodpalace.

There’s something pretty special about cooking with what the land gives us, while it’s here.

One week of eating in Toronto, part 2 of 3.
.
A perfect light dinner @aloetterestaurants sitting at the bar with @taraobrady. It’s a favourite nosh-and-gab spot for us and I will never not love it there. I especially appreciate that they will do half orders on many of the dishes—making a grazing meal much easier. Delicious tomatoes, fried chicken, and always, always the wedge salad. And haiii @patrickkriss, lovely to see you, it’s been a while!
.
Another perfect light-ish nosh-and-gab dinner the next night with @foodpr0n at the bar @primeseafoodpalace. Holy cow, @coulsoncooks’ burger and fries are shades of perfect and a fantastic splurge. The tres leches cake from @marilsl was sooo good. The best service from (and nerdy chats with) Raimey and Jess.
.
Friday night @letambourtavern in Hamilton with my beloved @bdiversitygroup. First time to this very cute spot and was not disappointed. Loved their fun take on a panzanella salad and yes, please to those perfectly crisp and fluffy chunky fries. Lovely service, tasty food, will return. Serendipity to see @tastehamont there—thank you for the ginger cake, Jen! It went home with Ren and was reported to be very delicious.
.
A @phancybodega grilled cheese lunch with @somachocolatemaker peeps. This was my tuna melt grilled cheese and I devoured it. Every other Phancy’s grilled cheese variant was ordered and reported to be damn tasty (hubby loved his breakfast grilled cheese).
.
I couldn’t help but have one of my precious stash of @futuragraniteria cantaloupe granita freezies. I bought a supply to get me through the winter. They have freezies in stock right now and you should go get some so you won’t be too sad when granita season ends.
.
The first half of a Saturday AFM carb fest to celebrate @misfittoye’s birthday was goods from @emmertoronto. Sausage roll (always hits), savoury brioches, cherry brioche, cookies (the PB miso cookie is especially good), a loaf of their delicious sesame bread.

See my next post for the final post about the week.

The final boss: @wyliedufresne

@primeseafoodpalace, brought to you by @mastercardca, brings to a close a year-long series called Coulson and Friends

Cooking for a room full of your peers brings a different level of pressure. We’re constantly told that we need to compete against each other—to be higher on the list, chase rankings, and sometimes sacrifice relationships in pursuit of outperforming our peers.

But after cooking alongside each of these great chefs, people I look up to and draw inspiration from, the feeling I’m left with is this: we are all so different, yet we share the same values…Cooking for people. Hosting. Creating something special and giving guests a glimpse into our world through an experience created outta creativity.

We’re all just trying to encourage ourselves and each other to be the best we can be—and try and habe fun along the way.

Don’t sweat the little things. In the end, we’ll all forget about them.

Be there. Support your friends. Celebrate each other

Thank you to everyone who joined me for this year-long journey. And thank you to all the chefs who shared their ideas, craft and friendship 💙

Coulson & Friends brought in Chef Katy Cheung of @burdockandco in Vancouver (and former Top Chef Canada “rival”) and Chef Luanne Ronquillo of @rurubaked for a multi-course, one-night-only dinner. It was a harmony of farm-fresh produce with a special nod to the season’s favourite star: the tomato.

THANK YOU!!! TEAM PSP AND LUANNE, YOU’RE ALL INCREDIBLE!!!

What a pleasure it was to be shown such warm and welcoming hospitality during my time here in Toronto. I met so many amazing people who pour so much love, care and passion into the work that they do. So much goes into the plate that arrives at your table and I’m so grateful to be a part of a team of talented people who bring it all together. This menu and this night, shows how much everyone appreciates things that are just “of the moment”, and that’s a really special thing.

Many highlights were had and I’ll remember every single one of them!

Three chefs. Three perspectives. One table.

Last night, Chef Coulson Armstrong welcomed Katy Cheung and Luanne Ronquillo of Ruru Baked for a dinner that brought old rivalries, new collaborations, and plenty to savour together.

Thank you to everyone who joined us at the table.

Working so intensely alongside chefs and people you admire to create an experience that only happens once is a huge amount of pressure and reward.

A huge thank you to the team @bluegoosefarm for all of your effort, hospitality, and incredible cookery. It was inspiring to showcase a menu so deeply focused on vegetables, seasonality, and the ingredients at their peak. Thank you to the Montreal team for teaching us new ways to look at vegetables. @vinmonlapin @maquereaufrappier @jessicaxmas

Thank you to all the guests who spent the evening with us and supporting events like these. Huge shadow to every single member of the @primeseafoodpalace for going Bath and beyond. 📸 @daniel_neuhaus_
