Remember the Times... 105 Rue Saint Pierre, Old Quebec 🔪🥄

 
To those who know 🥰... know #105ruesaintpierre  Remember the times 🎵🎼🎶

It's been 20 years, and coming back to this very spot is more than nostalgic. I knew it wouldn't be here anymore but I couldn't help but walk down memory lane while here in Old Quebec.

2025

2005

One of the highlights in my past food career was working on-set of Kraft's cooking show- qu'est-ce qui mijote? from pilot to #1 cooking show in Quebec (aired 2004 to 2008) by providing themed recipes, directing their on-camera talent with tips, and adhering to healthy living guidelines. L'Artistes de la Table owned by the formidable Madame Louise Martineau was a gorgeous kitchen, where the qqm hosts, film crew and amazing behind-the-scenes peeps like prop and food stylists made magic for 5 years with themes like "de nombreuses façons de préparer le sirop d'érable (many ways with maple syrup)", "c'est la saison du barbecue" et "desserts d'été sans cuisson".

In my last corporate role at Kraft's Test Kitchens for six years, I created hundreds of recipes and food content for Kraft’s quarterly What's Cooking magazines, and Quebec's version- qu'est-ce qui mijote?, kraftcanada.com and brand marketing advertorials. Recipes from the French version were selected and brought to life as part of the cooking show themes.

Set in the heart of Old Quebec, the in-between shoot romps, nightly gourmet French dinners and cultural discoveries preciously added to the wide eyed adventures of this budding young girl building her culinary repertoire 😍.

Psycho Four! 😜
After a long long day.. we look at those kitchen knives a lot differently.

Toast! For their sexy yellow beets truffle oil and balsamic vinegar app.


A must visit is Cochon Dingue, a bistro institution for their delicious breakfasts/brunches and fun atmosphere. It may be the most simplistic thing but when in Quebec, I hear creton calling and baked beans beckoning 🤤🍽 ... 

The heart of Old Quebec


The classic of all classics for breakfast!



How will this look 20 years later...?
