margopfeiff: In the Kitchen with the Laughing Chef – she’s Nunavut’s answer to Jamie Oliver: a cooking-show guru whose goal is to teach Inuit to eat better – and have a great time doing it.

Inuit TV chef Rebecca Veevee has a dead serious mission: to combat a growing epidemic of diabetes, heart disease and obesity in northern communities by promoting a return to “country food” like seal, caribou and Arctic char.
But her recipe for getting that message across includes generous doses of humour and a good sprinkling of zaniness.
“I like to laugh. I’m a comedian, too,” says Veevee, whose lighthearted banter on the show Niqitsiat (meaning healthy eating) is punctuated by gales of laughter.
