Black Currant Chocolate Tarts




We had this work event over the weekend and we had to make a bunch of petit fours. I love making petit fours over large cakes. Petit fours are small and delicate - so much detail goes into one little tiny dessert. Easier to handle. Something about cakes that make me so nervous. So large that so many things can go wrong!

This black currant chocolate tart is smooth with a hint of tart fruitiness. And just one quick bite.

Ginkgo Biloba



I've been taking Ginkgo Biloba for about a month. My mom gave me this bottle and told me to take it. I didn't really think much about taking supplements until I took these. The bottle says that it improves memory and concentration. I haven't really noticed any memory improvements but I have for concentration.

Introduction Part 2

Hello everyone. As my brother previously stated, this is going to be a blog about us - eating, cooking, exercising around Toronto and Vancouver. And various destination spots if we choose to vacation.

I'm a pastry chef that currently resides in Vancouver proper. I live with my fiance and two large doggies. Besides the obvious constant baking, I love to cook - both healthy and unhealthy varieties. So do expect some awesome recipes.

Any recommendations to places in Vancouver - I will check out and take pictures.

Other than that, follow our ride!

Introduction

Hello world. I'd like to introduce myself here. The name's Justin. I am a Mobile App Specialist, that is to say I develop apps and I know the ins and outs of apps. I like learning more about apps and what they do.

Here on this site, I'll be posting about my food adventures, be it new visits to restaurants or to do with health. I currently live in Toronto, so I will write about my views here. My sister will be writing on this site as well, but she is in Vancouver. I'll let her write her own introduction.

You'll learn more about our tastes as we post more on the site and we look forward to seeing what this develops into.
