Laura Calder II

Laura Calder, as you probably already know, is one of my favorite television chefs of all time. Her series on The Cooking Channel, French Food at Home, is must-see morning viewing for me.

However, since she only did three series for Food Network Canada, which are the shows being shown in the U.S., there are a limited number of different episodes being broadcast in Hawaii.

Good News/Bad News #1: Fortunately, for us Calderphiles, she was the subject of Chefography on The Cooking Channel on Dec. 30, 2011. That’s the good news. The bad news is that I missed. It. Consequently, I’ve been waiting for it to replay so I can DVR it and not miss it again.

Good News/Bad News #2: The good news is that Laura has completed filming her new series, Recipe to Riches. The bad news is that it’s for Food Network Canada and I’m not sure if it’ll be shown in the U.S. right away.

Laura posts fairly regularly on her Facebook page whenever she’s around and her posts are quite interesting, revealing many of her inside thoughts and moods. She’s not like some other celebrities who have others do their posting for them. Plus, she often carries on a dialogue in posts people make on her page.

When she asked on Facebook what she should do with leftover ham in vast quantities, she got 133 suggestions.
