Elaine Feore was born in St. John's, Newfoundland. She is a self-taught cook who ran a catering business in Windsor, Ontario before fulfilling her dream of opening her own restaurant, Elaine's Fine Foods. After selling that restaurant, she returned home to live in Newfoundland where she met Joanne Goudie. Together the two of them built The Blue Fish Bistro, a restaurant in Grand Falls, Windsor serving cuisine inspired by menus from around the world. Elaine and her husband Dermot now divide their time between St. John's and Cape Broyle and her happiest times are spent cooking for her grandchildren, family, and friends from all corners of the world. Storm the Kettle is her first cookbook.
