Chef Liz has marveled at exquisite ingredients since she was a young kid! From experiencing the juicy sweetness of a sun ripened home grown heirloom tomato, to the aroma and depth of flavour of toasted sesame seeds, she is eternally enamoured and amazed by what fresh whole foods have to offer.
She strongly believes that seeking out fresh, organic, and as local as possible ingredients, not only brings you nutritionally superior foods that the body requires to function well, but also deeply satiates and quenches the hunger for real food. In a perfect world, she would wish that people acknowledged this essential kind of eating for what it is: nourishing, health supportive, preventative and healing medicine.
