Café culture

DISTRICT CAFÉ AND BAKERY Situated in a corner unit at 10011 109 St., District Café and Bakery is a brisk 15-minute walk from campus, and it sure is worth it. In fact, you’re better off walking, because the parking situation is a little difficult — as all students...

Summer’s street food season

It’s that time of year when Edmonton’s food trucks are starting to make their way out onto the streets, providing us with all the tasty summer food and drinks we love. If you’re looking for somewhere to grab a delicious bite while enjoying the sun, here are four...

Quarantine baking

The pandemic has been creating many new bakers, as it has drastically changed on peoples' lives and their usual daily routine. When the pandemic was first announced, there was a frenzy on buying toilet paper, and now, on baking products. This pandemic has created...

Fast Pesto Chicken Recipe

When the school year gets busy, it’s hard to find time for things like laundry, cleaning, or cooking. Healthy eating often gets pushed aside in favour of comfort food and fast food; there’s a reason for the term “freshman 15.” So when my friend told me about...

Dinner at the Lingnan

Food for thought

People have always had a complex relationship with food. Today, food is usually consumed in between classes, while running from one meeting to the next, or when driving home from a long day. We may not even think about what we’re eating. But food has a much deeper...

Edmonton’s brewing golden age

Is there such thing as too much beer? Even if there is, Edmonton has room for more. Thirsty Edmontonians should be pleased to know that the city has many local breweries that offer crisp drinks to help them unwind. As it stands, there are nine breweries in...

Study spot: Remedy Café

When Sohail Zaidi — Zee for short — bought Remedy Café in 2000, the shop that once sold tuna sandwiches and powdered drinks was transformed into a space filled with deep flavours, fresh ingredients, and a welcoming atmosphere. Zee had not planned to work with food....

Recipe: Filled chocolate drops

Valentine’s Day can cause a lot of stress in regard to finding gifts for loved ones, and that stress can rack up quite the bill. Fear no more, friends, for homemade chocolates are a great way to show a loved one that you care — whether that loved one is a partner,...

Recipe: Homemade perogies

The first thing you need to know about making perogies is that you can’t make them alone. Whether you decide to make them for Ukrainian Christmas, Easter, or any other fun occasion, they seem to turn out best when made by many hands and infused with amiable...
