Best Beignets in New Orleans

May 3, 2017 by Nicole Leave a Comment

Best Beignets in New Orleans | Culinary Cool

Beignets (pronounced “Ben-yay”) are a beloved New Orleans specialty – soft pillows of fried dough, generously topped with powdered sugar.  Everyone has a favourite and it’s a hotly contended issue.   So let me preface this article by saying – this is purely my opinion, based on the method of eating as many beignets as humanly possible…

Oahu Hawaii: The Sights

Laniakea Beach North Shore Oahu | Culinary Cool

I feel as though I failed myself in the lack of photos I took in Hawaii.  Honestly though, pictures don’t do enough justice.  You have to see it for yourself.  Utterly breathtaking. The first three nights were spent at the Holiday Inn Waikiki Beachcomber, where we were upgraded to a 14th floor ocean view room – we may…

Oahu Hawaii: The Food

Dole Whip | Culinary Cool

This trip happened quite spontaneously.  While looking for flight deals to Texas, I happened upon a seat sale to Hawaii.  So I texted my friend, Thao, and thankfully she was on board immediately. It’s always fun going on adventures with friends, but what I appreciate most about travelling with Thao, is her love for food.  She’s the only…

Things to do in Napa Valley

December 31, 2015 by Nicole 1 Comment

Back in July, we took a quick weekend getaway to Northern California.  We spent some time in San Francisco and then road tripped it up to the beautiful Napa Valley. The cost of a hotel in Napa was far more than what we were interested in paying, so we decided to go the Airbnb route….

Things to do in San Francisco

Golden Gate Bridge | Culinary Cool

So, this post is way overdue.  Like, WAY overdue.  We took a quick weekend trip to San Francisco at the end of July.   July, people!  Better late than never I suppose. Our flight landed in the evening, so once we settled into our hotel, we made our way over to the Embarcadero.  Parking wasn’t nearly…

New Orleans: The Sights

Wild Rooster in New Orleans | Culinary Cool

Oh, New Orleans, you are a beauty. It would seem this trip was as much about food, as it was about music.  New Orleans is the birthplace of Jazz, and we made sure to take in as much of it as we could.  We bar hopped down Frenchman Street, which is easy because the hotspots…

New Orleans: The Food

Crawfish Beignet | Culinary Cool

I fell in love with New Orleans the moment I arrived.  It’s hard to explain why.  The whole city resonated with me, like I was always meant to be there.  And also like I was never meant to leave. New Orleans was just a small part of a week long adventure to the South, which started in Atlanta,…

Canada Day

Saskatoon Canada Day | Culinary Cool

The day before Canada Day, we took a quick road-trip up to Saskatoon to catch a concert during Saskatchewan Jazz Fest.  We love Michael Franti, and were super happy to see that he was playing the TD MainStage in Bessborough Gardens. We both had to work that day, and it took us an hour to…

Cozumel Food Tour

Cozumel Food Tour | Culinary Cool

I’m a travel junkie.  I especially love travelling and eating locally.  The best food is always local, amiright?!  The most memorable food I’ve ever had has always been from hole-in-the-wall, off the beaten path restaurants.  Or in the case of Cozumel Mexico, way outside the normal tourist zone, and basically, inside the garage of locals….

Lake Louise

My boyfriend and I took a last minute trip up into the Canadian Rocky Mountains and enjoyed the first official day of summer taking in the fresh air, breathtaking sights and enjoying some quality time together.  We brought our dog, Zoe, along with us for the ride and she was very popular with the other…
