I always thought Stuart Maclean was eccentric (something not obvious from his radio show) and you've just proven it. I met him once at a green room author thing and he was so not like what I imagined. Thanks for this story! Also, the baked pepper and herb sauce--yum! I'm vegan so love when people post recipes like this!

Your green room experience…(!). I’ve heard that from so many people and I feel the same way. How did you end up there? Were you performing?

He was a bit unknowable I think, maybe even to himself. A travelling showman. A kind of vegan (by preference) too as it happens.

I think we were all giving readings at Harbourfront. (I'm an author.) He had one of his Vinyl Cafe books out. He was very awkward to talk to but I put it down to his being really shy. It made me like him more actually!
