Be careful about what you drink
If you are following our GERD menus, you don’t have to worry about the ingredients in the meals. In fact, we avoid any food that irritates the oesophagus such as tomatoes, citrus fruits, mint and chocolate, and we limit the use of fats, fermentable foods and spices.
Moroccan women
It’s not for nothing that during our training in Morocco we met so many women: Moroccan women are great workers! Traditionally, they have always looked after children and taken care of household tasks. In the past few years, many of them have also started working outside the house… and they are very proud of it.
A new meal plan for preventing diverticulitis
Diverticula are small marble-sized ‘pouches’ that appear in different spots in the lining of the large intestine. When these diverticula get inflamed and infected, the condition is called diverticulitis, and it is very painful. The chronic condition called diverticulosis is now a common phenomenon in the West, where about 50% of people older than 60 […]
Gastronomic panorama of Morocco (2nd part)
Here we continue our gastronomic tour of Morocco…. 6. Camel Burger OK, I’ll admit that our menu at Café Clock, Camel Burger and cheesecake, was probably not typically Moroccan! Still, it was absolutely delicious and it would have been a shame to miss the opportunity to taste camel meat!

HospitaliTea and convivialiTea
Eight of us from the University of Gastronomic Sciences (UNISG) set off to learn about Moroccan food culture from 9 to 20 November last year. During this training in Morocco, local homestay arrangements were made for us. What I can conclude from this experience is that Moroccan hospitality is splendid.
What Montreal eats
Although Montreal’s culinary scene is constantly evolving and reinventing itself, few of us probably consider this city to be an exotic destination for an internship in Gastronomic Sciences. However, 10 of my colleagues from the University of Gastronomic Sciences (UNISG), who were in Montreal for a training in November, would tell you just the opposite! […]
El Wingador is no more the Wing Bowl King
I must admit I had never heard about El Wingador until last Friday. That’s when a good friend of mine – who is fascinated by competitive eaters – pointed me to the 9-minute video that Oscar-winning filmaker Errol Morris made about Bill « El Wingador » Simmons. He is the best known competitive eater, having been the […]

Eat from a red plate to lose weight
People who eat from a red plate or drink from red cups cut their food intake by 40 per cent, says a new study carried out by German and Swiss researchers and published in the journal Appetite. These scientists say that the colour red may encourage diners to avoid snacking because it is commonly associated […]
More on Poutine
Following our last week’s post titled « Boston’s take on poutine« , we got a few requests to explain what the « real thing » looks and tastes like and whether or not it can be part of a healthy diet. As you will learn by watching this video, poutine apparently originated in the late 1950s. Several communities in […]
Boston’s take on « poutine »
One of Quebec’s culinary symbol, « poutine », has become increasingly popular across Canada, as well as in the Northern border regions of the United States, which offer variations of the traditional dish. Cheeses other than fresh curds are commonly used (most commonly mozzarella cheese), along with beef, brown or turkey gravy. Watch this video and tell […]
