The husband and I were invited to Gastropost's 100th Mission Celebration Party at Osteria Dei Ganzi downtown last night and it was fantastic. We met so many lovely people, made some new foodie friends, and it was wonderful to finally meet some of the people I have talked to on the Gastropost team several times over social media. The neatest surprise? My very own mission card! Everyone kept asking me what "The Calculated Risk" was about and I could not remember because I have sent a couple of different ideas in but I came home and checked- it is for a mission about the craziest food item you have ever tried. So proud that they have chosen this as 1 of their next 100 missions and I cannot wait to see what people send in. 

Also very excited to see the new personal profiles Gastropost revealed at the party last night. Another special surprise was a visit by Chef Corbin! As you can see from the pictures, Ganzi is gorgeous and the food was delicious- I have to go there for a proper dinner immediately! Wonderful atmosphere, hot and extremely fresh food and a great location. Kudos to the team for bringing together every day foodies and amateur chefs through different social platforms to celebrate Toronto Cuisine. Can't wait to see what's next. Look out for some collaborations coming soon with new friends we made! W.P

"Last week we talked about the importance of planning for a dinner party using guest lists, check lists and menus.  Now that we have that sorted, let’s talk about the final preparations..."

Our Saffron Almond Chicken Qorma was featured on Saturday in the Gastropost print edition in The National Post! It was hard to choose which curry to send in for the "mission" of the week but then I finally picked this mild favourite. W.P
