Soirette is the second child of mum, biomedical engineer, and Le Cordon Bleu-trained pastry Chef Shobna Kannusamy. After Shobna had her first child she evidently wasn't busy enough, so she gave birth to a patisserie. Her tiny little jewel box of a shop is filled with delicate macarons that look too pretty to be eaten, and with aromas of exotic teas. Looking for your Toronto yoyomama?

And it’s one with knights, horses, sword fights, cheering, jeering, jousting, and family fun at its best. Located on the CNE grounds, Toronto’s Medieval Times is the only one in Canada (there are multiple U.S. locations). It’s essentially dinner theatre for families, inspired by the feasts and tournaments of the 11th century. Visitors enjoy a four-course banquet meal while they cheer on one of six Knights competing for victory. This is not “watch and be quiet” kind of theatre. In fact, the louder you are, the better.

Since then the location has exploded in a whirlwind of activity and retailers, so we thought it was time for a bit of a River Market redux. Looking for your Toronto yoyomama?
