Discovering the Toronto Islands
The Toronto Islands are my favourite outdoor spot in the city, so I am really happy about them now being open to visitors again. This green oasis punctuating the concrete jungle comprises a small chain of 15 islands on Lake Ontario south of mainland Toronto, making up the only islands on the western part of…

Food tours around the world
If you’ve been following I’ve Bean Travelling for awhile, you will know that most of my travel is very much centred around gastronomy. Mr. Chuckles and I absolutely love to go on food tours as an avenue to discover new cuisines, meet other travellers, and see local sights, all at the same time. I’ve mentioned…

Goodfood recap: Coconut curry to Dan Dan noodles
The Goodfood selection for the past couple weeks was a mishmash of cuisines. We ate more noodles, but also had the chance to turn on the grill for a few meals. In addition, we have been able to enjoy some dinners on the balcony with these warm summer evenings and I am loving it! By…

Strawberry almond pavlova
Happy (belated) Canada Day to all my fellow Canadians out there! I was at work, while Mr. Chuckles enjoyed a nice bank holiday at home and spent the entire day cooking up our Canada Day feast. The star was the smoked brisket which he slaved over for nine hours, but I’m going to share the…

Brazilian-style rotisserie pineapple
Mr. Chuckles continues to experiment with our Kamado Joe grill, recently sprucing it up with their rotisserie attachment. This week, we’ve enjoyed rotisseried picanha steak and cornish hen. After those hearty meaty meals, it was time to test out a sweeter treat. When Mr. Chuckles and I were staying at the Hard Rock Hotel &…

Goodfood recap: Asian week
From udon to teriyaki salmon, our past week with the Goodfood meal kits was heavily Asian inspired. We did a bunch of stir frying and ate a whole lot of noodles and rice, but I’m not complaining! Mr. Chuckles took a turn preparing a few of them this time, as I had a brutal week…

Summer food festivities in Toronto
I rarely take trips during the summer, mainly due to the cost of travelling during high season, and also because there is plenty to do right here at home in Toronto. When the city isn’t shut down due to a P-word, summer in the city is lively and filled with opportunities to do one of…

The sweetest treats in Toronto
The province of Ontario has just announced stage 2 of reopening and it looks like dine-in service at restaurants will soon be allowed to resume, although on outdoor patios only. Unfortunately for Torontonians, we are stuck in a holding pattern at stage 1 so eating out and getting my mop of hair cut will have…

Goodfood recap: Teriyaki burgers to Mezze platter
If you follow me on Instagram, you may be aware that I’ve been continuing to cook away with the Goodfood meal kits. I’ve also been working on my plating and food photography but didn’t have any luck with the #GoodFoodieMoment photo contest. Curse you, Goodfood, curse you! In any case, I have now tested out…
