About Marsha Idella

It's my Edible Journey! I love food. I love love love chef tastings. Eating out inspires my home cooking. I’m passionate about sharing the foods I’ve tasted – made by someone else or me. I love sharing my journey through food, advising where to eat and what to eat. Sometimes it’s a homemade meal, a nearby restaurant, a culinary vacation or a food themed event. I love sharing food photos and their descriptions just as much as eating, but I also need to archive my foodie photos and recommendations thus far so that I don’t forget where I’ve been. Sometimes it is about eating the same thing twice – especially when you want to share that experience with someone or just relive it. “This is amazing, you gotta eat this”

Breakfast lab: pairing poached eggs

I love poached eggs for breakfast because there is so much you can do with them then just eggs benny. How about cornbread crumble with poached eggs?

Pizza Margherita: less is more

I was beginning to worry that the only way to get my pizza Margherita fix would be a visit to Montreal, New York or Chicago (one day I’ll be able to say Italy too!) Thankfully today I found a close … Continue reading

Afternoon tea… At the Serendipity tea house

Unplanned afternoon tea? And solo? Is this allowed? Well if it’s for the sake of treating yourself, research for a girls afternoon out, and a blog post then of course it’s allowed.
