Born on Vancouver Island into a family of incredible home cooks and bakers, I always had a great passion for all things food. I started my official culinary journey as a chef apprentice and in culinary school. I later went on to change career paths, going back to school for teaching. I went on to teach in my native Canada and in Northern Europe. My love for food was always there but became my focus again when I was diagnosed with multiple chronic and autoimmune illnesses, including celiac disease. My goal is to create nourishing food using seasonal local ingredients that just happens to be gluten, dairy & refined sugar free & allergen friendly.
