As summer is slowly coming close (don’t worry we are still in denial too!), why not make the best of the remaining local summer tomato harvest? This recipe is perfect for highlighting Ontario tomatoes!
When Rachel and Paul expressed that they wanted to design a custom dessert trio for their wedding we were more than happy to oblige. The trio consisted of Flourless Chocolate cake with Salted Caramel Sauce, a Lemon Panna Cotta with Candied Lemon Peel and a Deconstructed Strawberry Shortcake with Mascarpone Cream and Creme Anglaise.
In this venue profile, we visit another downtown Toronto venue, the St. James Cathedral Centre.
The Cathedral Centre, originally built in 1909, recently underwent a three-year renovation process and officially re-opened in spring 2012. Adjacent to the Saint James Cathedral Centre is, naturally, Saint James Cathedral. While the cathedral was built in 1853, the St. James parish has been a part of the historic Saint Lawrence community since it was established in the late 1700s. The architecture of the cathedral church is in the gothic revival style and the spire -standing at 200 feet tall- was once the tallest building in Toronto. It is now designated a Heritage Property by the Ontario Ministry of Culture.
On May 5th we were honoured to be a part of the the unveiling of the beautiful sculpture Rising by artist Zhang Huan for Living Shangri-La Toronto.

In this venue profile, we will be taking a peek at a brand new venue just outside of the city.
Trefenton is located on a large 50-acre lot with a forested perimeter and lush gardens for guests to enjoy. The scope and tranquility of Trefenton’s surroundings suits both private, intimate gatherings and corporate events and retreats alike. Owner and manager of Trefenton, Elizabeth Cole, developed her interest in event venues as a management consultant and executive leadership coach over the past 22 years. She saw the need for adults to work and play with others in an environment that generates both inner peace and dynamic energy. She discovered that if this need was met, an event would be more than an occasion; it would become such a strong memory that it would affect positive change in a person’s life.
