Name: Siue Moffat
Occupation: Chocolatier/cookbook author/film archivist

1. One food item you can not live without?
I would say soy, but I went on this intense diet for a few months and couldn’t eat beans of any kind.

2. Finish this sentence: "In the kitchen I am…"  
…a bit of a bitch. I get really focussed, especially when working on chocolate and candy. I just want to be left alone!

3. Best thing about living in Toronto?
After 15 years I’m coming across nooks and crannies I never bothered to venture into, and it’s like discovering a whole new city.

4. If you were a vegetable what would you be?

A green pea.

5. Best thing about being vegan?

Knowing I’m putting a kink in a system that seems to feed on negativity and violence.

6. What are you currently reading?

Revolution at the table: The Transformation of the American Diet by Harvey Levenstein and Conversations with Don Durito by Subcomandante Marcos

7. Who would you like to trade places with for a day?

Jane Goodall – I’ve been a bit obsessed with chimps since I was a wee tot.

8. What would be the title of your autobiography?

A History of Waffles and Pockets

9. Favourite place to have a meal?
In some dunes!

10. One thing that would make the world a better place?

One really easy way to make the world a better place (but by no means perfect) is to switch immediately from gas to solar and wind and all grocery stores to carry mostly local products. It’s not much, it’s a drop in the bucket…
