About

Hi, I’m Jennifer – the writer, photographer and chef de cuisine in the foodess kitchen.

I live in Vancouver with my hungry and charming boyfriend Adarsh, and our equally gourmand, floppy-eared Irish Setter (who more than makes up in cuteness what he lacks in brains).

Things I like right now: salty butter, august peaches, spicy curries, and homemade ice cream.

I have a BSc in Food, Nutrition & Health, and have trained as a Registered Dietitian. I believe that a healthy diet is best achieved by cooking delicious food from scratch using fresh ingredients (butter? cream? sugar? yes, please!). Lots of fresh produce, lots of variety, and eating until you are satisfied, not stuffed.

My kitchen is the heart of my world. Food brings me so much joy that both my working life and my personal life revolve around it. A very happy, well-fed life it is.
