Laura Calder

Laura Calder is the host of the Food Network Canada program, "French Food at Home" filmed in Halifax, Nova Scotia. She hails from New Brunswick and is noted for her fondness of dresses and her love of French food.

She gave up a desk job in an office in Toronto, Ontario to pursue her dream of becoming a chef. She moved across the country to Vancouver, British Columbia to study. Her interest in French cuisine began after she got a job in California working with wine, two days before cooking school ended. Once that ended, she met Anne Willan at a food writers’ conference who told her to come to Paris to work on a book about wine and food - a stay that was supposed to last nine months, but ended up lasting seven years. During that time, Laura fell in love with French food. [http://www.foodtv.ca/blog/archive/2007/04/05/interview-laura-calder-on-french-food-at-home.aspx]
