In it, the Trinidad-born, Toronto-based chef demystifies ingredients that intimidate average blokes like myself. Curry powder got you stumped? Have no fear. Thanks to Mooking you’ll be whipping up a mean curry and provolone mac ‘n’ cheese in no time, complete with asparagus stocks and a light dusting of Parmesan. With a childish, almost devilish grin that belies his 34 years, Mooking is a Continued on page 3.
