We’re all excited to introduce our guest for this episode, Chef Destiny.
Chef Destiny is the owner of FoodZen, a personal chef and pre-made meal business in Waterloo Region. FoodZen's goal is to bring zen to busy family schedules, assist professionals in a better work/life balance, and help seniors maintain their independence by providing locally made, healthy and delicious food.
As an Indigenous chef, and growing up surrounded by a farming family, Chef Destiny's focus is to create meals that are hyper-local and ultra-seasonal. Her farm-to-table approach supports many local businesses and favours whole foods over processed ones. She works closely with the Indigenous community and provides teaching and workshop experiences for others to learn about not only Indigenous food but about healthy eating, food sovereignty and sustainability.
In October 2022, with the rising interest in the Indigenous culture in Canada, Chef Destiny partnered with Bingemans in Kitchener Waterloo to open Cedar Spoon Indigenous Catering. With Cedar Spoon, her goal is to showcase the Indigenous foods of Canada prior to the settlers while continuing her own healing and reconciliation journey.
