All About ME!

Thanks for stopping by Adventures of an Ottawa Foodie! Here’s what you need to know about me…

1. I LOVE food…

Food is one of my favourite things. It is something that brings people together, you can cook together and eat together. We all have to eat so why not love the food we eat!

2. I love to cook…

It‘s awesome to take a group of individual ingredients and put them together to make something that tastes and looks amazing! I may not be good at painting or music but I am a good cook!

3. I like to eat out…

I may think of myself as a good cook but there are some amazing chefs in Ottawa. It’s so much fun spending time with friends or a special someone while eating amazing food!

4. I am learning to take good pictures…

There are some pretty awesome food blogs out there and one thing that they all have in common are great pictures of food. I am trying to learn how to take some great pictures of food. I also like to take pictures while I am out on hikes or traveling. If you ever have any tips for me, please let me know!

5. I try to raise money for charities…

I work in the not-for-profit sector and see the amazing change that is being made by so many organizations in our community. So I try and raise money for some of the charities that mean a lot to me. Occasionally I will promote one of the fundraising events I am taking part in. If you’re able please feel free to make a donation. Be the difference you want to see in the world!

I love getting feedback on my blog, the pictures I take and any suggestions you have for restaurants or recipes I should try. You can contact me a whole bunch of ways. Leave a comment on my blog, I will make sure to get back to it! You can also follow me on Twitter or join the Advenutres of an Ottawa Foodie Facebook page. Finally you can send me an email at adventuresottawafoodie@gmail.com.

Thanks so much for visiting my blog! Hope you enjoy!!!

Hello there,

I’m not sure that this is the absolute best way to go about this, but I thought it was a good shot anyhow.
I am the owner of Bowich “best organic sandwiches” and we are located at 155 Bank st in between Laurier and Slater st in the financial district of Ottawa.
I have been looking at your site and noticed your reviews are of the same class of food that we provide (local, organic and prepared in house etc) and was wondering if you would be interested in coming by and giving our place a try.

Having read your previous posts I would welcome your opinion with open arms, we as a business are tying to push not just good local organic food, but also food that is available at all times of the day.

Gavin

Pig cheeks at Navarra

This weekend Ottawa’s own, Chef Rene Rodriguez won the latest edition of Top Chef Canada. Chef Rodriguez runs Navarra on Murray St. here in Ottawa. Sarah and I ate at Navarra in 2010 and it was great. I thought I would repost my original post today in honour of his win. Congrats Chef Rodriguez! Last […]
Sweet Maple Syrup!

This weekend was what seemed like the first real weekend of spring. We finally got some nice weather, meaning there was some sun, it was above freezing and there wasn’t a snow storm. Since the weather was nicer than it had been we decided we needed to get out of the house and have some fun in the great […]
Mobile Seafood

Last year Ottawa was bitten by the food truck craze. City Hall finally released a limited number of permits for some new food trucks. Having worked in the east end of Ottawa for the last couple of years I’ve only had the chance to try a couple. I’ve already posted about Relish Food Truck, Stone Soup Foodworks and Bite […]
Soup for the Community

Whenever I go to a restaurant I never think to order soup. I always want to get something that I can’t make at home, either because I don’t know where to get the ingredients or because I don’t have the skill to create the dish. After trying five soups from some of Ottawa’s top restaurants, […]
