About Me

Hi, my name is Rachel and one of my passions is nutritious and delicious food. My love for cooking and food stems from my parents. Both of them are skilled with cooking and baking and they each taught me valuable lessons with tons of experience in the kitchen growing up. I also had dual cultural influences (Chinese and English) being the mixed kid I am, and with my parents also experimenting with many other cultural foods…my love only grew more.

My twenties were spent mostly away from home. I started with university up north in Thunder Bay at Lakehead University where I received my Kinesiology (H.B.K) and Education (B.Ed) degrees. I then spent a summer in England, a couple of years out west in B.C. and a year in Japan teaching English. When I finally returned I fell into the restaurant business and soon decided to to take holistic nutrition at the Canadian School of Nautral Nutrition to further my love and skill with food. And I am currently on my way to becoming a wine specialist with a programme at George Brown College.

I am not a vegan or vegetarian, nor am I gluten-free, dairy-free or sugar-free. But do I experiment with all of them? Absolutely! I love ALL sorts food and the only “restriction” I have is that it’s as natural as possible 🙂
