I’m looking forward to it! The guy running it is a very popular forager who offers classes on medicinal plants, mushrooms, edible plants, all kinds of stuff. Should be cool!🍄
Mushroom foraging on a rainy day sounds like something out of a story. And coming back to a simmering pot of soup? HEAVEN.
Thank you for the wine recommendation, I am going to look for it! My favorite right now is Coteaux du Giennois 2021, which is 80% pinot noir and 20% gamay. Have you ever tried it?
I love wines from the Loire Valley (that’s where Coteaux du Giennois is) and Gamay is one of my favourite grapes (Ontario makes fabulous Gamays if you ever get a chance to try one.)
But I bet it’s delicious - good grapes, good region, what’s not to love? 🥂
As a Toronto resident, I’m probably biased but definitely appreciate the local recommendations! Actually I’m dying to know where you signed up for a mushroom foraging course. That’s something that’s been on my list of things to do for a long time and have never found a good source for such a course/excursion!
Love a good foraging class! Enjoy! X

Do you know the winery?

I don’t, the label is all in French! I was going to try and send you a photo but it doesn’t look like you can attach images to comments. :)
I wish Substack would allow for pictures to be attached in replies!
I agree with the other comments about appreciation for Toronto recommendations! Thank you.
You’re so welcome, Tracey! 🥂

I’m going to recap it in Wednesday’s newsletter! I’ll tell you all about it then! 🗞️🍄
Hi Erin, I really enjoy your Weekender blog and, as someone who lives in Toronto, really appreciate your recommendations and suggestions.
Hi Maria! Thanks for letting me know; that helps to shape the recommendations I share. I hope you’ll visit Domino’s… it’s a treasure trove for cooks!
