fruits and vegetables through his popular column of recipes, anecdotes and cooking tips.
Pete is a leading authority on fruits and vegetables, a successful entrepreneur and a
nationally known media personality. Pete Luckett, a real honest-to-goodness green grocer,
is the Wayne Gretzky of fruits and vegetables. The operator of the very successful
Pete’s Frootique in the Halifax area, Pete has been passing along his enthusiasm for
his products to a national television audience for many years - first with CBC Midday and
now on CTV News 1, ending each segment with his signature tag line:
Toodleedoo.
He has
been writing a regular column for the Chronicle-Herald in Halifax and the Moncton Times
& Transcript, opening readers' eyes to the history and possibilities of the endless
varieties of vegetables and fruit. Besides that, he offers tips for using the produce and

is just what the doctor ordered.
