Hello! I'm so glad you are taking the time to find a food solution that works for you. I believe nutrition is one of the most important things we can do for our bodies. I lovingly craft every dish I make with micro and macro nutrients in mind. I found my love for cooking while growing up and preparing dishes with mother, but honed my craft working part-time while attending the University of Victoria. I have worked in local restaurants from The Village to Browns Social House and devoured information and food alike. I was born in Vancouver and graduated from the University of Victoria a couple years ago with a Bachelors of Science in Computer Science and I now I live with my partner in an apartment near beacon hill park. I love a good Apple TV show and I love to cycle, practice acro-yoga, and play soccer on the weekends. I have worked professionally as a Cook for 3 years. From Eggs Benedict to a full English Roast I have experience making restaurant quality dishes.

I am a 39 year old with a multi-diverse skillset that I have refined over the years. I am cook, a yoga and meditation teacher, athlete (soccer, basketball, baseball, and flag football), and musician. <3. I care very much for people and the world around me which is why I try to apply my talents where I can. I worked in the restaurant industry for 10+ years starting as a hostess, to waitress, to manager and than banquet management. I left the restaurant industry to pursue education, and since then, I have worked in publishing, IT, and advertising. I have spent many hours in the kitchen, received my food safe, refining my skillet to different cuisines as this is a big passion of mine, and the way I show my love to my family, friends, and people like you. I really look forward to connecting. I cook ethnic, vegan, vegetarian, comfort classics, as well as accommodating modifications due to allergies, and food sensitivities. I have food safety credentials.

I am married, living in Metchosin. Please ask me about what you are looking for as I have sooooo many interests, hobbies and skills. I have done cooking & baking for my family for over 40years. Never trained in the field but I love it! I am willing to get my FoodSafe, if necessary.

I do not have any cooking training but my first attempt was at 4 I made my mom pancakes when she was sick. My Mom was a very good seamstress so cooking wasn’t her favourite thing to do so I cooked in my teens until 20. I helped cooks sometimes when I worked as a dietary aide in fancy seniors homes, when I worked at Sears cafe I made most of the sandwiches and wraps. I cooked for a few seniors when I worked as a companion. And did a bit of food prep! I haven’t actually worked as a cook but many people thought I should have. I did help the cooks sometimes when I worked as a dietary aide years ago. I planned my Moms 70th birthday over 10 years ago hired entertainment, made most of the food and drinks people thought it was catered! I use to do lol all the cooking when my children where small, made most of the decorations my self, and often the cake. I use to plan and make things for parties. I had and my parents had. When I moved back to Victoria I did all the cooking for my parents and children. When I worked as a companion to seniors there were several I cooked for mostly lunch. I did a bit of meal prep for one guy! Love to cook my favourite is Mexican, some Chinese, some Italian and some more traditional Canadian cooking. I like making muffins, cookies, loaves but not bread. Desserts; usually mire like a parfait, Chocolate, chocolate dipped strawberries. am good at making drinks or virgin drinks I often made my children when they still lived at home mostly like a smoothie.

I am 29 yo, brazilian and I have been in Canada for a bit more than 3 years now. I have plans for my future career path but I am looking for side jobs for now while I also dedicate more time for my art hobby. I consider myself a easy going, responsible and reliable person. Professionally I dont have experience but I have been cooking a lot the last three years and I feel confident to use it for a side job. Cooking became a big hobby and passion for me and the last few years Ive been improving, and trying new recipes. I dont have a background education related to cooking I am self taught and I can offer cooking meals, prep food and baking.
