On August 3rd, I'll be on the show again, this time preparing picnic ideas for the Folk Fest or just hanging out in the park. Food ideas and safe eating tips galore. My segment will be between 7:30 and 8:00 am. Click here for recipes and tips.

Check out City TV's Breakfast Television archive site for clips from my appearances as well as recipes we've prepared.

July 31, 2010 the City Market downtown held an all day affair with cooking demos and special appearances to celebrate Canada Food Day. Elaine was invited to do a cooking demo and using mostly local ingredients from market vendors such as Medicine Man Bison and Doef's Greenhouses, Elaine created Grilled Lemongrass Chicken and Spicy Bison Salad. The demo was a huge success and we'll be back at the market again soon.

Download the recipes Elaine prepared and visit our Resources page for more information on local shops and markets where you can find authentic Thai ingredients.

Elaine is now doing product development with local food producers who want to create or expand their product lines. Our first to market is a line of vinaigrettes we created for Verry Berry Honey compnay, one of our favourite local producers of amazing fruit flavoured honeys. You can buy their vinaigrettes at Bonton Bakery, farmers markets, and many other stores - visit their web site to find a shop near you.

Elaine provided food coaching for a family whose weight loss journey was being documented on the Slice reality weight loss series, X-Weighted, hosted by Paul Plakis. Watch the episode on Slice, Global, or online at Slice.ca
