Walking into an Evoolution store almost feels like walking into a winery. But, instead of wines,…read moreyou get to sample an amazing selection of flavoured oils and vinegars. It is very possible to spent a lot of time here. The fun is in mixing and matching the various oils and vinegars. There are so many exciting flavour combinations to try out. Sometimes, it can be overwhelming to choose something. Luckily, the signage throughout the store can help you figure out what you're into. Beside each oil and vinegar, there are suggestions of what foods are best paired with these. I also find that the staff are usually available to help you find what you're looking for. Another plus is that they have different sizes of bottles to choose from. If you're trying out a new flavour you can buy the smallest size. If you have a tried and true favourite, you can buy the largest bottle. They even have gift sets available. My family loves these Evoolution products and have been using them for years. Using these oils and vinegars have elevated my salad eating experiences at home. The bottles look so classy compared to your average grocery store salad dressing. The coolest part is that these oils and vinegars can be used for many other foods such as meats, cheeses, ice cream and popcorn! If you haven't been in one of these stores, I totally recommend checking one out!

Everything seems to come in thirds for me. Twice, I was in the area and stopped to see if…read moreEvoolution was open. Twice I was denied entry and had to resort to peering through the window (ja you's a window shopper). If you get the reference, we should most definitely be friends. Anyways, third time was the charm (although we made it with only half an hour to spare). We walked in and were greeted by a super friendly, easygoing evoo worker. Seriously, so nice - she explained a few things, made a few recommendations based on what I was looking for and then let us go to town on the sampling. I tasted a reasonable amount (reasonable being a loose term) of olive oil and balsamic vinaigrettes. A few that stood out for me: Tuscan herb, garlic, and the cranberry pear balsamic. So good. They come in three sizes (200ml - $13, 375ml - $19 and 750ml - $31). I ended up picking up a Tuscan herb evoo bottle ($19) and tried it in a salad dressing I made. Awesome! Very cool, chic spot - hit it up if you are looking for something to spruce up your salads/chicken/dinners! They even have these little 6 bottle samples ($36) that would be a great gift.

I stopped in to buy my favourite macaroons from where else, Duchess, when low and behold there is a…read morestore next door. Oh goodness, it is a whole store by Duchess filled with the most amazing, well like the name says: Provisions! There are cookie, cake and pie making equipment. A How-To kit for duplicating their famous macaroons. All the gadgets one would need to bake a masterpiece are in this delicious little side venture. They even have a wall stocked with jams, honeys, caramels, chocolates, nuts, salts, sugars and other high end, super must have ingredients to wow your taste buds (and show off to your dinner guests!) I bought a delightful crystallized honey as well as a jar of salted caramel that is so amazing it could be drizzled on a dust bunny and make it taste divine! I also added to my insane cookie-cutter collection, which I hide from my other half so he doesn't think I'm Kitchen Cuckoo! Oh, wait... I think he's on to me ;) This is definitely a must visit store if you are a culinary wizard, or just like to wing-it! It is a go-to destination to pick up that perfect hostess gift or for your super foodie friend. And even a $4 jar of something, in its beautiful package, will make anyone feel like a Duke or a Duchess!

I love Edmonton born stores especially when they offer excellent customer service and carry quality…read moreproducts. As I entered this store, at their new location, the first thing that caught my eye were their displays. They are like little pieces of art telling stories about the items they carry. They have a kids section inspiring fun ideas on how to engage kids in the kitchen. There is a wide selection of flours, sugars and other baking gems (some organic and some not). They carry cookware, bakeware, bread making products, books, teas, chocolates, extracts and compounds, preserves, canning supplies, mixers, cake stands, serveware, kitchen linens, aprons and so much more. With Christmas approaching this is an excellent place to find gifts. And if you're hungry, Café Linnea is definitely worth a try next door.

The second I walk in... Silence... then "eyyyyyy!!!!" The woman who works here makes one of the best Lattes I've had in the city. I'm not kidding. I stumbled upon this place desperate for coffee and when the coffee touched my lips it was magical. They also have a selection of baked goods that you will not see anywhere else. I tried some kind of sweet bread and it was very tasty. I also love the little seating area outside. It's so cute. I hope this place stays open for a long time!

Unfortunately I found the staff rued and I felt I was bothering them just by being there . And after picking out all the items couldn't even pay for them , because they don't expect credit cards !

I love Blue Kettle foods. Two ladies - sisters - from St. Albert, would make such good sauces,…read moredressings and dips that their friends started telling them to go into business. Now you can find their amazing homemade products at Sobeys, the Italian Centre, Bon Ton Bakery, Good Earth Groceries, Paddy's Cheese Shop, Sunterra Market and a few other more exclusive shops in town. Their pasta sauces are to die for. They use all fresh ingredients and it tastes gourmet, not like something you just bought on a store shelf. I think it's so wonderful that small local outfits can sell their products around town, giving Edmontonians premium local options. Why funnel our hard-earned dollars to the other side of the border when we can keep it local and support creative entrepreneurs in our own community. Kudos, ladies! Your culinary talents are a joy to my palette.
