Sydney Oland ~ Blog and Portfolio

 
Since graduating, I've been contributing to the Formaggio Kitchen blog, as well as teaching and writing recipes for Create A Cook.  I've also contributed to goodeater.org, and I just started filming videos for How2Heroes - I wrote the recipes for those as well. 

I have presented a paper at the ASFS Conference and plan to contribute more in the future.  The paper I presented was about gender dynamics in professional and domestic kitchens.  I interviewed four male test cooks about their perceptions of the gender divide, and how it impacted their lives and careers. 

The project that takes up the most of my time these days is Eating Nose to Tail - a project I started in 2009 about incorporating the nose to tail philosophy into my everyday life.  It's been very rewarding.

Blogs of the Past

Here are two blogs of my past, I'll be thrilled if you like them.  But please send me a note here, I don't get over to those blogs very much these days.

Travels in South East Asia

Written in 2008 about the time I spent traveling through Asia.  I traveled with my Mother through Japan, Indonesia, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos and Singapore.  The real purpose of the trip was so that my Mother could look for furniture suppliers but I managed to tag along, eat very well and only make myself a little sick.

Toronto Chinatown Blog

Written in 2006, reviews of restaurants in Chinatown.  I was also attempting to discuss the changes I was seeing in Chinatown.  It's apparent transition from Chinatown to Asiatown through the integration of Japanese, Vietnamese, Thai and other ethnically different restaurants.
