Carmelized onion tarts and pear tarts with Bleu Bénédictine. A lot of flavour pop.
This was from the food blogger event sponsored by the Chicken Farmers of Canada at The Urban Element, “a culinary event studio” on Parkdale in the old fire hall on Feb 2nd.
The sundried tomato strata with C’est Bon goat cheese which provided perhaps the funniest moment of the evening.
As the servers came around with the hors-d’oeuvres, independently, from around the space, 3 food bloggers automatically scanned the room for best lighting and went to the same long table. Each simultaneously set down their food on napkin, got out their camera, and without acknowledging each other photographed theirs. The lady with the list of names at the door went wide-eyed. People, we’re all funny monkeys.
Foodie geeks. My peoples. Home.
I met a few and I’ll have to hunt for rest later…Alan McKay, Urban Hippy, Heather Heagney of After the Harvest, Don Chow of Foodie Prints, Ron Eade, and Rachelle Mesheau of Rachelle Eats Food who already has a her post about it. I have more at Humanyms…
…the lady at the door was jealous and quite curious at how the pictures would turn out! The caramelized onion and pear tart shot is beautiful, congrats!
I’m sure she was that too.
Thanks. Glad you liked them.
Great meeting you too!
Funny how the Chef and Sous Chef didn’t bat an eye at those of us with cameras who were following them around inside the kitchen. Guess they are used to it by now!
