Breville Smart Waffle Maker Review

by Tazim Damji

Breville Smart Waffle Maker

To tell you would open myself up to being made fun of, and being asked if I am the president of the "I Love Waffles" fan club. Instead, I'll just say that I know a thing or two about what makes a waffle makers (and waffles) stand out from the rest. ...

Philips Avance Collection Multicooker Review (w/ Canada Only Giveaway $250 ARV)

by Tazim Damji

Avance Collection Multicooker by Philips

As a self-proclaimed foodie, it should come as no surprise that I have a fair amount of kitchen appliances in my home. Generally, the kitchen appliances perform a singular function, and mostly sit in my cupboards collecting dust. The single most used small appliance in my home is the new Philips Avance Collection Multicooker. When I first heard of its existence, I admit that I was excited to have a fancy new appliance to steam rice in. But, whoa—stop the presses! The Multicooker does SO much ...

More Juice, Less Waste, Better Taste

by Tazim Damji

Juicepresso

And then, what seemed like a dozen carrots later, as I enjoyed my half-cup of juice, I tried to smile and really enjoy it, because I knew I would be spending the next half-hour cleaning up the mess I’d made procuring it. I’m sorry giant juicer—it just didn’t work out. I returned it, and while I still really liked the idea of ...

How to Get Relief for Your Back and Feet with WellnessMats

by Tazim Damji

wellness mats

My mom loves to cook, but doesn't so much love being on her feet for so many hours at a time. Hardwood floors, like I have, make it especially painful to keep baking and cooking. A soft rug does little relieve the pain in your feet and back. Because WellnessMats are so portable, I tend to move mine from in front of my sink to in front of my stove regularly. If you don't want to do this - you can get customized WellnessMats in the shape/length you'd like! Take a look at the different ...

by Tazim Damji

steep loose tea

This post, which will tell you how to steep loose tea is brought to you by O.co Steeping loose tea correctly, serving it, and enjoying it really is a fine art. There are tea ceremonies where tea is the centre of attention. One of my best memories is perusing the tea market in Beijing, China. Hundreds of tea producers and sellers have little shops along a street in Beijing, where  you can go in and sample tea in order to select the one(s) you want purchase. I loved watching how the tea was ...

Celebrating Spring with Sodastream

by Tazim Damji

celebrating spring with sodstream

Backyard BBQs, picnics, weekends spent at the beach, birthday parties and get-togethers — just a few things that I'm looking forward to, now that it's officially spring! Any good gathering of people has to have food and drinks. I think that's just a given. With spring here and summer not far off, I know I'll be entertaining guests more often — mostly outdoors or at the beach/park. Usually, I would be needing to run to the grocery store to pick up several litres of soda, in different flavours — ...
