Marion Kane interviewed and became pals with former Mafia cook Joe
"Dogs" Iannuzzi while he was in the witness protection plan.
She shared an intimate meal with screen legend Sophia Loren at a small
restaurant in Toronto’s Little Italy. She visited the late Julia
Child at her Victorian home in Cambridge, Massachusetts, where the queen
of cuisine cooked up a breakfast featuring her famous scrambled eggs.
And now, in Dish, Marion has compiled
favourite columns about these and other culinary adventures and paired
them with her best recipes.
Marion Kane is a leader in the world of food writing, both in Canada
and abroad. Her work combines humour, social commentary and a passion
for cooking that makes it a toothsome pleasure.
For 18 years, beginning in 1989 and until August, 2007,
she wrote about food for Canada's largest newspaper, the Toronto
Star. She was the paper's food editor for 11 years, then penned
a weekly column called Dish which appeared on weekends and made
her Canada's best-read food columnist. Before that, she was food
editor for six years at The Toronto Sun.
