Meet Francine…
Who is She?
Our Club Foody hostess, Francine “Frankie” Lizotte, was born and raised in Montréal in the province of Québec, Canada. Her French-Québécois culture had a profound impact on her cooking skills to this day.
As a young woman, Francine loved going out to restaurants over night clubs. She has always enjoyed trying new dishes and discovering different taste sensations! She became a restaurant aficionado which led her to start experimenting more in her kitchen.
She lived in Toronto, Ontario for the majority of her life before moving to British Columbia where she currently lives with her husband, David. Her curiosity about different cultures and cuisines, took her on a culinary journey, experiencing a wide variety of flavors, herbs and spices.
In 2014, Frankie was invited to become a food recipe analyst for a large U.S. web-based recipe site. This experience reinforced her desire to share her passion for food with the world and that is what lead to the creation of Club Foody.
Traveling to different continents combined with her culture, Francine has been bringing tasty recipes from her kitchen to your table for over 8 years now. Her kitchen is her playground and Frankie loves to create “Great Food to Fit Your Mood”.
Besides sharing delicious recipes on Club Foody, she has been featured in Taste of Home Magazine, Fox News New York, has written several articles for Vitali a Los Angeles magazine, won culinary prizes, and her quote has been mentioned in Ian Makay’s book Food for Thought – The Pleasure of the Table: Primi Piatti.
