Spotlight on Gremolata's Cheese Guru, Andy Shay:
5 Things Not To Do With Artisan Cheese | ||
| This has been a fantastic week for food and wine in Southern Ontario. On Tuesday famous caterers Daniel et Daniel held an unprecedented thank you party for 700 of their clients at the Design Exchange in celebration of their 25th year in business. Toques off to them for rather un-Torontonian generosity. Then on Wednesday, Paul Finkelstein and his students at Stratford’s Northwestern Secondary School hosted a Youth Slow Food Symposium, with guests as impressive as Jamie Kennedy, Michael Stadtlander, Anthony John, Monforte's Ruth Klahsen and Christine Cushing (see our next update for more). Finally, Dick Snyder’s long awaited City Bites magazine launched on Thursday, with no less than two articles featuring our very own Cheese Guru, Andy Shay. Things are looking good! - Malcolm Jolley, Publisher | Gremolata People: | |
