hi! iā€™m Brooke

My love of food started as early as I can remember. I grew up in Northwestern Ontario where my father taught me how to nurture the land and gather edible berries and plants. My mother was always busy in the garden, mothering her kombucha scoby and discovering new detoxing and cleansing methods for us to experiment with every spring and fall.

It was only natural for me to go to Culinary school and become a Chef. While completing the culinary program, I realized that health and nutrition were two missing ingredients. This led me to my degree as a Natural Health Practitioner, specializing in Nutrition and Herbalism.

I then moved to Banff, Alberta after falling in love with the mountains during my internship at the Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel. I lived there for 8 years, where I was general manager of a cafe/bakery, creating healthy recipes and food programs for the community.

I have been in Toronto for the past 9 years where I have been practicing nutrition herbalism and recipe developing for various companies

My work has been published in blogs, magazine and books.
