Pacific Palate is heard every Tuesday morning at 8:20 on the Early Edition, CBC Radio One in Vancouver, 690 on the AM dial. I spend about five minutes on the air with Rick Cluff, the host of the Early Edition, and one of my biggest fans. I tell Rick about my latest adventures in the world of food, and play parts of the interviews I do with people in and around Vancouver. I always try to bring Rick a sample of the foods or recipes I'm talking about. People marvel at his capacity to eat fried oysters or spicy coleslaw at 8 o'clock in the morning, but as he says, 'I've been up since 3:30, this is lunch!'

Food For Thought is a 5 to 6 minute radio documentary which airs on CBC Radio One stations across Canada. Food For Thought was nominated in 2000 and 2004 for a James Beard Culinary Award. The people, foods and beverages I feature in the documentaries can come from anywhere in Canada and around the world. Since I started doing the show I've aired reports from India, Japan, Mexico, Australia, France and Italy, just to name a few of the countries I've been fortunate enough to visit.

So Much On My Plate is a brand new segment on a brand new show, All Points West. All Points West is a CBC Radio One program based in Victoria, and heard throughout British Columbia, except for the traditional Vancouver-Lower Mainland-Whistler listening region.
