Toronto Eats – Review, Recipe and Giveaway
September 12, 2017 by Jenny
Toronto Eats: 100 Signature Recipes from the City’s
Best Restaurants by Amy Rosen is the latest addition to the
Figure1 series that shares restaurant and chef profiles along with
a recipe or two from their respective menus. The Cooks and Eats
series have become some of my all time favorite cookbooks. With one
book, I have access to Canada’s best restaurants, get to know their
brightest chefs and experience dishes all from the comfort of my
own kitchen.
Ottawa Cooks, Edmonton Cooks, Montreal Cooks, Winnipeg Cooks, Calgary Cooks, Toronto Cooks and Portland Cooks (they have entered the US and I will have a promotion on this new title soon) are all incredibly well done books with unique recipes and gorgeous photographs.
Toronto Eats takes up where Toronto Cooks left off. This second helping shares more than 100 recipes from 50 amazing chefs including several that were featured in the first book. What I love most about this series is the broad and diverse range of approachable dishes – from Vietnamese-Style Pork and Crab Spring Rolls to Zucchini Manicotti with Cashew-Dill Ricotta. Starters, soups, salads, mains, sides and desserts are covered from talented chefs across the city – there truly is something for everyone.
Special thanks to Figure1 for providing us with two copies of this title for our US and Canadian members and for sharing these incredible looking brownies. Be sure to scroll down to the bottom of this post to enter our contest.
Sierra’s Insanely Awesome Brownies

Makes 24 brownies
1 lb dark chocolate (use 70% for an intense chocolate
hit)
2 cups unsalted butter
1/4 tsp salt
1 1/4 cup cocoa powder, sifted
1 cup high-quality organic pastry flour, sifted
5 eggs
3 cups granulated sugar
Flaked sea salt or kosher salt
Coarsely ground coffee beans
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray a 9 x 13-inch rectangular pan with non-stick spray and line with parchment paper. In a double boiler, or a bowl set over simmering water, melt chocolate, butter, and salt and mix with a wooden spoon until well mixed. Set aside to cool.
In a medium bowl, combine cocoa and flour. In a second medium bowl, whisk together eggs and sugar until pale and fluffy. Fold chocolate mixture into egg mixture until combined, then fold in flour mixture. Pour batter into the pan and spread out with a spatula.
