talking about taste ...

.

Sunday's 20th annual Toronto Taste 2010 benefit blended delicious foods + bevvies with new + old friends in a drive to raise funds to support Second Harvest.

Dufflet Pastries has been one of the event's food sponsors right from the start and this year's dessert offering was a (very popular!) mini Strawberry Dacquoise with Cocoa Hazelnut Meringue. The Dufflet table was manned by Dufflet Rosenberg and Heather Chu (Dufflet Small Indulgences brand manager).

Part of the fun (asides from the constant noshing) is meeting other chefs ... and fun photo ops! Here's The Queen of Cake standing next to (or should I say, kinda under?) Michael Smith (Canadian chef and writer, host of a number of shows that have appeared on the Food Network Canada).

For more information on donating to Second Harvest, please visit www.torontotaste.ca
