It’s time to gear up for the holidays and all the entertaining that comes with it! Why not start your evening off with a yummy and festive beverage? Luckily, Terry has already taken care of this for you.
Earlier in the season he headed out to Teatro restaurant in Toronto’s Little Italy to shoot some holiday drink demos. The awesome mixologist, Renata Clingen, showed us this great presentation tip for her deliciously-named Caramel Swirl Martini (oh yeah!). Watch the video below to see how to mix up this cocktail:

We're Getting a New Look
Foodnetwork.ca is getting revamped and refreshed with a brand new look. I’m so excited! Lots of changes coming your way including a much improved recipe search and a cleaner, easier to navigate design. You’ll now be able to save recipes to your personal profile and weigh in on each and every recipe (finally!). It’s all coming to you next week. Watch for it.
Roger and Laura Also Write
I found out that Roger Mooking, host of Everyday Exotic and a super nice guy, will be contributing to The Mark, which describes itself as Canada’s online forum for news, commentary, and debate. French Food at Home host Laura Calder is already a featured author under Life and Arts. (I particularly enjoyed her The Man Test Dinner article.) Laura’s listed among such Canadian luminaries as Bob Rae (Politics) and David Suzuki (Science and Technology). Not bad eh?
