Eric Lenz is someone who liter- ally entered this world as a per- former and personality. Born in the back seat of a Transcona Cab, Eric’s first appearance so struck the driver’s funny bone that he lost conirol of the taxi and crash- ed into a dilapidated North End retail store.

Equipped as he was, Eric began his career as a magician and, in no time at all, managed to perfect the ultimate effect. He made all the work disappear. Undaunted and driven by a desire to soive the problems of hunger ia the world, principally his own, Eric doffed his magician’s cape and turned his talents to the cooking pot and the mathematical hare.

Actually he is very health- conscious and cooks with no fats or salt. His recipes are prepared in T-FAL pans which do not require any cooking oil. His meals are a delightful treat to everyone’s pal- ate. Featured in the Magic of Cook- ing show will be the B.C. Gas Display Kitchen. This is a med- ern, contemporary kitchen with white memamine fish, and a grey/black, salt and pepper cove- top counter. Over the six-burner (90,000 BTU} oven, there is a large mirror allowing any size au- dience to see the preparation of food on this highly-efficient, gas counter-top stove. ‘‘Cooking with gas is not like cooking on an elec- uic range — it is better!’’ says chef Lenz. ‘‘You cook on a flame, not on a heated element and that gives you infinite fiame settings for precise cooking controal.’’ Also included in the B.C. Gas Display Kitchen is a dual gas wall oven, with features such as self- cleaning, infra-red broilers, natu- ral convection and smokeless broiling. The kitchen’s double sink and large working area allow Lenz a great deal of space to prepare and display his tasty cre- ations. A state-of-the-art, side- by-side refrigerator/freezer and a microwave oven compiete the kitchen. The Magic of Cooking show will be presented at the B.C. Fail Home Show, October 17 to 20, at B.C.
