The North Shore News tells you all you need to know about the Cornuccopia Festival in Whistler.
The Province talks to Dale MacKay about takeout pizza and zip-lining.
The American Academy of Hospitality Sciences gives a big nod to the Loden Hotel with a Five Diamond Award, a Chefs Plate Award and Medallion Award to chef Marc-Andre Choquette in the Georgia Straight.
I’m not entirely sure what Bonfire Night is in the UK, but apparently candy apples are a tradition, and I do love candy apples, even though The Guardian calls them toffee apples.
The Vancouver Sun talks about the romance of canning. I have a whole cabinet full of the fruits of this seduction.
Butter on the Endive chats about the very aptly named Meat Fest in Penticton.
Whiskey mixed with apple cider is sounding like the perfect Fall drink right now. Thank you, Saveur.
Bon Appetit does the math on heritage birds vs. the supermarket variety.
Lastly, oh to be a food writer in NYC! The New York Times talks Parisian macarons, and samples 209 of them just be sure (unsurprisingly, Lauduree takes the top spot).
