College Falafel

Tell me it isn't so.

Have I seriously not posted anything in over a month?!

Sad times they are. I had no recipes to blog about, no cookies to take pictures of. This past month, I haven't had the time to cook or bake. It was The Food Collective's fault (the title of my thesis project). But I presented it to a panel of judges on Wednesday, so now I'm free!

"A crowdsourcing site that harnesses the collective creativity of a crowd through an open-call format". <-- Totally memorized my presentation.

So if I haven't had time to cook or bake, then what have I been eating you ask?

Well a lot of coffee, a lot of donuts, and a lot of College Falafel.

Yes College Falafel. Only the best falafel and chicken shawarma in Toronto. And lucky for me, it's a 2 minute walk from my place. Not to mention it's owned by the nicest and sweetest couple in town. They make the neighbourhood feel like a neighbourhood, they get to know you on a personal level, it's a rare thing in a big city.

There is an attention to detail at this place. They understand that fresh vegetables, simple ingredients, and a whole lotta love makes food... well... food!

The tastiest desserts. That's love.

Oh yes, and did I mention that Bardhyl looks like a young Rober De Niro.

Think Godfather...or Taxi Driver.
