Our Team
Anita Stewart, Senior Adviser
The founding member of Cuisine Canada, Anita Stewart is a Master of Gastronomy, a graduate of South Australia’s Le Cordon Bleu and a Fellow of the Ontario Hostelry Institute. Cookbook author and Culinary Activist, Stewart wasn’t dubbed “the patron saint of Canadian cuisine” for nothing.
Amy Proulx, Science & Technology Editor
With a PhD in Nutrition Sciences, Cellular & Molecular Biology, Amy Proulx is here to explain the science behind the foods we eat. She’s our own Alton Brown, only with more hair and no over-sized props.
Jo Marie Powers, Director of Culinary Book Awards
The Chair of Cuisine Canada and founder of the Canadian Culinary Book Awards, Jo Marie Powers collected thousands of cookbooks for the University of Guelph’s archival culinary book collection. If your cookbook goes missing, blame her.
Karen Baxter, Program Manager
With an MBA in Hospitality and Tourism Management, Karen Baxter brings us her expertise in event management, public relations and culture. Karen is the driving force behind the Cuisine Canada Cooking Stage and many of our fundraising drives.
Charmian Christie, Editor-in-Chief
With an MA in Journalism from Australia’s University of Wollongong and an extensive writing portfolio, Charmian Christie loves words as much as food. She’s here to co-ordinate content and make sure no one takes themselves too seriously — herself included.
