| Baldwin Street is one stop on the Kensington Foodies Roots Walk. Lots to see and savour! |
Since 1993, Shirley based her business, A Taste of the World, on unearthing nooks and crannies skipped by most guides, combined with introducing people to the diverse cultures and their food in Toronto neighbourhoods. She enjoys opening the eyes of jaded lifelong residents, inquisitive newcomers and adventurous visitors while stuffing all her guests with equal portions of food and facts along Foodies, Literary Detective or Ghost walks. All tours kick off with the Marcel Proust quote about learning new things, "The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new lands but in seeing with new eyes" and end with guests agreeing with Confucius that "A man cannot be too serious about his eating, for food is the force that binds society together". Meanwhile all ghost walks start off with a well-known fact that Toronto means "meeting place" but the kicker "Is Toronto a meeting place for the living or the dead? " adds a chill.
