Roger Mooking

One of the celebrity cooks that I enjoy watching on the Cooking Channel is Roger Mooking, star of Everyday Exotic.
That young man has a particular way with flavoring, introducing his viewers to nicely created dishes, with some unusual combinations of ingredients and different spices.
That’s not to say that his dishes are always spicy (as in hot). They are mostly unusual, however, especially to non-Asian or non-West Indies palates. Talk about having a multi-national sense of flavors! He lives in Canada (since age 5), he has a partially Chinese heritage, and he was born in Trinidad.
Mooking has a joyous style in his presentations, often appearing as though he’s playing with his food while cooking. I enjoy watching him taste his food – the way he holds the fork or spoon while directing the food into his mouth makes me smile.
He is also currently appearing (and heavily tearing up) on the Food Channel’s Heat Seekers with fellow chili addict Aaron Sanchez.
