The Foodie-file is Canadian Living's food blog where Online Food Editor and self-confessed foodie, Christine Picheca shares her passion for food, drinks and entertaining.

Christine is that person who somehow can always turn a conversation into an opportunity to talk about what's on the menu this week, who gets called when friends have guests coming to town and need a restaurant recommendation, who fields more how-long-do-I-cook-this-turkey calls than a poultry farm, knows where to find the best dumplings in Chinatown and does it all with relish!

Christine comes from a lineage of great cooks, has practiced as a chef for 15 years, contributed to many cookbooks and food campaigns and run her own food content development business.
