We're back on "breakfast television." meredith, it's a tune. Just like your wake-up -- >> Meredith: a little better. >> Tracy: same-same. Our next guest believes the world needs a little love and he's here to offer it through his food. His highly-anticipated cookbook mad love is out already. So good to see you. It's been a while. We've worked -- I knee you're here on "bt" all the time. We worked together for so many years on cityline. And really what a point of pride for you to have this book that you've worked so hard on. It's been an amazing journey. >> Performing so well and I'm grateful to my team and everybody who had a hand in it. It's exciting too because I'm connecting the younger generation to the older recipes that they've lost touch with. >> Tracy: absolutely. >> Meredith: putting together a cookbook, that's not easy to do. Even if you got all the recipes, it's tough to do and they're a long time coming. So really excited for you, that it's here and performing well and combining who you are and cultures. Culture clash. >> Tells the story of young devon retracing the indo-guy indonesia food he dpru up with and beyond. >> Meredith: beautiful! Look at the food you brought us! Trace! >> Tracy: really good! >> We have the grilled cheese. A south asian inspired grilled

cheese. It's simple to do. It's vegetarian. We use the beautiful spices. And then we make caramelized onions and hit them with spices and different types of cheese. I'm always telling people at home, don't be handcuffed for the rez pees. If you have smoked gouda at home, use that. Do not go out to the grocery store for one ingredient. Reach into the back of the drawer, open up the pantry, use something you haven't used in a while. >> Tracy: it's too expensive anyways. >> Meredith: use the cheese you got. Chef, people underseason a lot of things? That's a thing in households? They're just -- >> You went there. >> Meredith: I'm going there. >> Tracy: no, I love that question. >> Meredith: my fiancee is a chef and I learned a lot sitting there with a glass of wine watching him cook. I noticed the seasoning that goes into -- not just at the end. >> I'm a huge flavour guy. Tracy knows that more than most. It's important to layer right from the beginning. Make the food memorable? >> Meredith: yes. Go for it. >> Use exotic spices and get out of your comfort zone. The best way to get to the next level is to take risk. >> Meredith: that's the big chef difference, I find. Are you going to put us to work? >> Tracy: looks amazing. >> These are tacos. You're going to lay down -- this is guyana's national dish. I pulled the bones out of it. It's a meat-based stew. Guyana's pride and joy. We lay it down, we have mayo. In the cookbook I teach you how to make it in seconds. >> Meredith: your own mayo? >> Yes, and we have the derivatives. You add a little bit of purple slaw and cilantro. This is a way of taking, you know, a national dish and making it kind of presenting it in a different vehicle. Making it a little bit more accessible to the mass -- yeah, fire! Fire! So good! >> Meredith: you may not have the certain kind of cheese, same thing with the meat? The protein, I should say? >> I even have a vegan pepper pot in the cookbook. People are like, what are you doing? Jack fruit and mushrooms and sweet potato. My mom is vegetarian. She should have access to our national dish. >> Meredith: love it. >> Tracy: favourite in the book? >> Smoked goat bariani. Got the most ingredients, it's the hardest recipe, but it is so rewarding. >> Tracy: very nice. >> Meredith: a cold drink after a long day, right, chef? >> In the cookbook I teach you how to make ginger beer. My grandmother used to make it and it was so strong I had to hold on to something while drinking it. It's a derivative. A dark and stormy with mango and you can pour this over ice slowly. Go for it. Yeah, yeah. Slowly because there's ice in there. This is mango pulp, tamerin and this is s ke a dark and stormy. You can add rum or keep it non-alcoholic. Whatever you want to do. Just try it. Take that out and -- >> Meredith: look how pretty this is. >> Tracy: I didn't know either -- >> Meredith: this is all visually appealing. >> Yeah. >> Meredith: you included in this whole thing [ Laughter ]. Chef, I'm just saying. Do you know what I'm saying? >> Tracy: yes, the -- >> Meredith: I like it. I'm in. >> Tracy: chef always delivers. Not just in flavour -- >> Meredith: oh, that's delicious! >> Tracy: right? Not just in flavour but in presentation because you say it all the time. We eat with our eyes. >> 100. >> Tracy: proud of you, man. >> Mad love. >> Meredith: where do we find you and follow you? >> Chef dev I'm everywhere. Go find me. >> Meredith: we're happy you were here today. That is delicious. Everything has been so good. Thank you for being here. >> Thank you for having me. >> Meredith: yum! Get inspired >> Tracy: I'm going to have more. >> Meredith: have a bite and we're going to have more "bt" after this, including "you sound off." we are so excited about this wnba team coming to canada. Coming to toronto for the very first time. We'd love to know your thoughts. How excited are you? Have your say, feedback@breakfasttelevision.ca. [ ] >> Meredith: more "bt" coming up. Ready? Setty?

Our caryn ceolin is joining us live now from outside the news conference that's still happening this morning, with more on what this means for canadian basketball fans. And caryn, we're learning this team is not just playing here in toronto. >> Caryn: that is right, tammie. This is as they all her-story in the making. Here in an announcement it was officially announced the city of toronto has been awarded the 14th wnba franchise, the first outside of the U.S. with canada's new expansion team set to hit the court in 2026. So here are a few key details we know. We know the team will play at toronto's coca-cola coliseum, it seats 8700 people, with the opportunity to move up to scotiabank arena on occasion. But as you mentioned, not all games will be played in toronto. There will be the opportunity for some games to be played in vancouver as well as montréal. So very exciting. The team itself will be owned by kilmer sports ventures, that is a division of the group owned by toronto billionaire larry tanenbaum. The wnba's commissioner who is of course on hand for this announcement saying that she has been working with larry tanenbaum were quite sometime now to make this a reality. She says that he has worked very hard to make toronto and canada a destination for women's basketball, and really highlighting the impact paktpact the wnba has had on the city and the country. Of course, the wnba last year sold out pre-season games here at toronto's scotiabank arena. The league itself, the commissioner said just moments ago, had its most watched regular season last year as well as its highest average attendance. So we know for sure that fans are going to be packing the house once toronto's new team hits the court. Now, prime minister justin trudeau, he is also at the announcement. He says that the record-breaking crowds that we saw during the pwhl season are also proof that canada is becoming a destination for women's sports. He says for too long women's sports have been under reported, under funded and underappreciated. But that era all changes today. So, again, the city of toronto being awarded the 14th wnba franchise, this is the first outside of the U.S. some very exciting news. They're going to hit the court in 2026. We're still following that press conference that is underway. We will have all the details online, citynews.ca. >> Tammie: caryn ceolin live outside of hotel x in downtown toronto. Thank you for that. We have former raptor kyle lowry as well as masai ujiri, the president of the raptors and we will have full coverage on citynews.ca. Right now it's 9:9:. Time for "you sound off" and that is the topic of our "you sound off" today. The wnba, how excited are you?
