Dawn and Chef Rainford - End of segment

The Rainford Method - Chef Rainford demystifies what may appear to be a complex recipe.  By layering the flavours to compliment one another and balancing the textures, Chef Rainford is truly a Master Chef.  This savoury dish will delight your family and/or dinner guests.

Mmmm Mmmm Good

Voila!  Here is Chef Rainford with the finished product.  Crispy bacon on the outside wraps this pork loin locking in the juices.

Mmmm Mmmm mmmm mmmm mmmm

LIVE from Breakfast Television in Vancouver

Chef Rainford shows Dawn how to butterfly a pork loin, season it on both sides, stuff it with sauteed shallots and mushrooms then layer it with fresh baby spinach, followed by a bacon wrap.  Then it's off to the oven to roast.

The studio smells divine!  Love the smell of bacon.

The Green Room

OMG there really is a Green Room albeit the room is not really green, but this is where we 'hang out'. Tom MacLean from Collette Vacations, hanging out with me in the Green room (he doesn't waste a minute...already making very important deals before 8am).   Before they call 'action' it's off to hair and make-up.
