Roger Mooking

Roger Mooking: Its fitting, considering hes about to perform in the small Ontario town well regarded for its love of live theatre. The Trinidadian-Canadian chef gingerly takes to the stage and the crowd erupts in applause much like the sharp punch of citrus Mooking loves using to enhance the flavours in his dishes, according to Huffington Post. But theres a good chance Canadians are more familiar with Mookings other endeavors: he's the host of two popular cooking shows, Man Fire Food and Everyday Exotic ; a cookbook author and Juno-winning musician as a former member of R B trio Bass is Base and Roger Mooking shuffles his feet a few feet away from the stage at a Stratford cooking demo , much like the way an actor psyches himself up before an opening act. Its tough to say whats more diverse once hes on stage: the plethora of ingredients at his disposal for his cashew-chicken curry or the mans CV, which includes part-time stints as a college executive and philanthropist. At the moment, hes a guest speaker at Savour Stratford , an annual culinary event about a two-hour drive west of Toronto. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
