Fabulous Faith with Oster Appliances

Fabulous Faith with Oster's Fall Line-up of Appliances


Finishing that steak, chicken or delicate piece of fish in the oven is generally the final step in the cooking process.

With the introduction of French Doors, I found my new found ability to place my large saucepan into the oven a life saver in the competition. 

With oven safe pots you can brown your steak on the stove-top and finish it to the perfect doneness, easily and in just moments. 

In the home, with hydro and gas prices we need to start substituting the stove.  Oster Appliances offers a wide range of high quality appliances to save money and increase efficiency in the kitchen.

Check out Costco.ca later this month and pick-up this beauty!

Cheers,

Fabulous Faith

Fabulous Faith WINS Weeknight Food Feud on The Marilyn Denis Show




On September 9th 2015 Fabulous Faith made her National Television Debut on The Marilyn Denis Show.  Faith participated in a cooking competition between another Chef called Weeknight Food Feud, to see who could prepare the best healthy weeknight night using a mystery basket of ingredients.

Fabulous Faith

After 30 minutes and a twist (contestants were asked to transform their healthy dinner into lunch for the following day) Faith presented 4 delicious dishes:  Pan fried Sea Bass with Hennessy Sauce, Yam and Ham Hash, Sautéed Garlic Swiss Chard and Cornbread.  For the lunch challenge she transformed the protein into a Sea Bass Spinach Salad.

After tasting, the first two judges, Charles the Butler and Masterchef’s Alejandra Shrader voted for Faith’s dish and there was no need for a 3rd vote!  



Congratulations Fabulous Faith for your first National Television appearance and win in her first cooking competition! 


Congratulations Fabulous Faith
