About Us: Who's Who at Canadian Foodies

With the re-launch of CanadianFoodies.ca we thought you might like a little insight into the people who are the core team.

First, a note about where we're coming from and our goals with this site.

Editor: Frieda Audrey Luk

Frieda was born a foodie in Vancouver devouring wild salmon off the coast of the Queen Charlotte Islands, organic produce, and asian fusion long before it was a fad.

A progeny of the liberal arts, further education brought Frieda to Toronto where she was, oddly enough, a Mcluhan fellow embedded in the Political Science department.

Her work has been featured in The Ubyssey, The Newspaper, The Tyee, Soulshine.ca and sexherald.com. Her current non writing preoccupations include Glad's Press'n Seal Wrap, Google tasks, and farmer's markets.

Contributor: Gisela McKay

Gisela is both a born entrepreneur and a born foodie. Growing up in a restaurant with all the supplies and tools at your disposal will do that.

Gisela now is President and Chief Mastermind of pixcode - the company that created CanadianFoodies.ca, the CanadaEventsCalendar and NaturalHealthcare.ca (among other projects). In addition to overseeing the development and maintenance of this site, expect her to pop in as a guest columnist sharing new finds in restaurants, food products, and preparation tips.

Photojournalist: Mark S

Mark.S is very particular about food: he enjoys investigating the food chain to see where it comes from, finding new products as start ups, and is a firm believer in the Chinese philosophy that food is medicine.

Mark.S is known as The Handshake Guy: making connnections and contacts in motivation, health, green, the arts, & wealth. He does photojournalism for pixcode properties (CanadianFoodies.ca, CanadaEventsCalendar.ca, NaturalHealthcare.ca, and others) and freelance. He is a member of FACT and a former President of the Reflexology Association of Canada.
