My name is Shannon. I am 56, married and a Mother to our daughter who is 18 and currently away in Montreal for University. I was born in Calgary Alberta but have lived in Vancouver for 37 years. My husband and I ran a pizza chain restaurant for over 25 years where I participated in all aspects of the business - food production, merchandising, customer service, management, staff training, development of head office, hiring/firing, payroll, inventory and accounts payable. I have been in senior care companionship, working for myself for 18 years. I have found my greatest joy has always come through creating enjoyable meals, filling the fridge with easy, healthy possibilities as well as personal treats custom to the client. Often times elders settle for what is easy over delicious because it feels hard or complicated. Recipes from their past helps them reconnect with who they are and where they’ve come from! I love preparing meals for gatherings and special occasions to encourage community and social networks. Book clubs, birthdays, high tea - let’s get together! I have an updated food safety certificate. I have not had any professional culinary education but have cooked for my family, friends and clients my whole life.
