About

I am a food writer/editor based in Toronto, Ontario. Originally from Halifax, Nova Scotia, I developed a love of cooking at an early age and was lucky enough to land smack dab in the middle of Kensington Market (a neighbourhood full of open-air food shops and vendors from around the world) after moving to Toronto in the late 80s. I have a background in culinary arts (George Brown School of Hospitality) and ran my own catering and events company for many years along with my husband, Greg Clow. I am the editor and publisher of TasteTO, a website dedicated to the food scene in Toronto. We also run a food and drink blog aggregator called Beer and Butter Tarts.

I have written for a variety of local and international food and drink publications. My CV can be found at SherylKirby.com, my blog about writing. I also keep another blog called Leaves and Petals where I post my thoughts about various subjects in a (hopefully) witty and insightful manner.

If I know you in real life, you’re welcome to contact me on Facebook, and if you work in Toronto’s food and drink industry you can find me on LinkedIn.
