Day 6: Chasing Cheese

June 7, 2018 ~ Kit Vantastic ~ 2 Comments

Having discovered unexpected changes at two of my favourite local food spots yesterday (one closed and one having been purchased by a larger company) I wandered out to visit Fifth Town Cheese in Waupoos, where I hadn’t been for a few years. The road there hugs the lake, winding by estates and new vineyards, grand … Continue reading Day 6: Chasing Cheese

Day 5: Letting Food Speak for Itself

On almost every hill in this County stands a testament to the big work done by early settlers, to avoid starvation I imagine. I stop regularly to admire these silent, stately giants.

I’ve been on a little writing hiatus, resting at “base camp” in Ottawa; visiting friends, reconnecting with … Continue reading The Slow Food Road Trip- Coming Soon!

I love cooking, and making good-tasting, healthy vegetarian food on the road in my minivan was important to me. I’m well-equipped to start with. I have a small 12 volt  fridge and a two-burner propane stove, so in many ways I have all the conveniences of home. On the other hand, my fridge is bar-sized, … Continue reading Kit’s Kitchen
