Renée Loux Underkoffler wipes one hand on her apron, shakes mine with a

firm grip and flashes me a gorgeous grin.

Tall, tanned and toned, she is living proof that " living foods, " her

unusual diet of choice, can do a body good.

Underkoffler, 28, is standing at the kitchen counter in a spacious,

sunny studio-cum-loft on the second floor of a big old former warehouse

adjacent to the vintage Canary Bar and Grill near Cherry Beach.

With the help of a young male chef from Liaison College, neatly dressed

in chef's whites and working away quietly by her side, she is

cheerfully preparing a labour-intensive lunch composed entirely of raw

food. Complete with cocktail appetizers, it will be served here for 40

patrons of the Toronto International Film Festival, the annual wingding

that had our city in its thrall for 10 days earlier this month..

The meal is a thank-you to these folks for their support. It's also to

promote the new documentary Go Further, directed by local filmmaker Ron

Mann, which was launched at the fest to rave reviews. Its star is

Underkoffler's friend and fellow environmentalist Woody Harrelson, who

is to be guest of honour at the lunch.
