Free stuff! And it’s good stuff.
Hello friends!
I’ve got a great prize to give away full of stuff I love just in time for Mother’s Day!
It includes a great Cuisinart Power Trio Hand Blender which also comes with a mini food processor attachment, and a Conair curling iron.
The kind people at Coty are throwing in some Philosophy skincare, perfume, and nifty [...]
The Pay Chen Show
(That’s the name because I couldn’t come up with a fun and original one.)
I’m excited to tell y’all that I’m going to be hosting my own radio talk show on Newstalk 1010 Sunday nights from 8-9pm.
I’ve been eager to do more radio to compliment the years of work I’ve done in television. There are similarities [...]
Making truffles and eats with goodies from McEwan
I could spend hours upon hours wandering up and down the aisles of any great grocery store or market. Any place that lets me find gourmet chocolate, oils, beautifully packaged products and fresh produce.
So when I was asked if I would play around with some ingredients from Mark McEwan’s shop; it was like asking if [...]
Radio + food = FUN
I’m making BIG FUN RADIO TIMES this weekend!
Many of you know that I’m taking part in a great food truck event called AwesTRUCK taking place this Sunday, September 9th. If you can’t be there, listen in on the radio! I’m very excited to be doing a show with one of my favourite radio people, Jim Richards from the [...]
Eat me.
I post a lot about food. I know this because I’m the one who takes the photos and writes the tweets. I also did this long before anyone paid me bits of money to write about food and explore new places. So the question I get asked the most is usually along the lines of, [...]

How much is $7.40?
Does this seem like a stupid question? It’s worth $7.40, right?
It’s worth about two fancy coffees, a fast food combo, a cocktail at casual pub. I paid $7 for a loaf of bread at a Farmers’ Market once. I felt a bit silly about it afterwards but I think you should pay more for something [...]
Spicy Raw Kale Salad
Up until recently I always ate my kale cooked. It seemed like the easiest thing to do and if you’ve ever popped some raw kale into your mouth as you’re washing it, you know it’s tough and not particularly delicious. Then I realized that letting raw kale sit in a vinaigrette or dressing for a [...]

A few of my favourite things
I’ve had many great eats this year but it’s always the sweets that stand out in my mind. One of my absolute favourites is lemon curd. I am convinced that I could eat a massive bowl of it in one sitting. I have yet to try this but I’m certain I would succeed. The photo [...]

Koalas and kangaroos, oh my!
I love my Canadian friends for asking if I have been able to cuddle koalas and kangaroos while in Australia. Well, I can see koalas being cuddly but not so much the ‘roos. They are apparently HUGE pests in Australia and the country has a koala problem. But they’re so cute and…exotic to me. My [...]

What goes around, comes around…
Something happened to me last week here in Melbourne, Australia that had me so enraged, I banged out an angry email to my close friends and vented on Twitter in total frustration.
On my third day in Melbourne, I went to the grocery store to pick up few things. Standing at the back of line only [...]
