Food is about the
Love
about.
I believe the grandmothers had it right. They were wise to the nuance of cooking, drawing from wisdom rather than a recipe. They were the keepers of heritage— preparing food slowly, by hand, and in season.
The true creatives behind head-to-tail, farm-to-fork and sustainable, organic gardens. The beautiful women of our past understood food.
​
Their wisdom was honed from necessity, yet rich in tradition, rooted in heritage, celebration and community. It was a more beautiful way of being with food.
I celebrate my grandmothers.
My name is Liz, and I am the culinary creative and Founder of Farm Kitchen.
​
I am a graduate of the Northwest Culinary Academy of Vancouver and the Canadian School of Natural Nutrition.
My culinary training taught me that a dish cannot be elevated above the quality of its ingredients. My education in nutrition formed my obsession with how food is cultivated or raised.
​
I am meticulous about ingredients. Thoughtfully grown food is richer in taste, more regenerative to soils, kinder to animals, and has superior nutrient density.
But I am not perfect.
I am always learning, which means making thoughtful decisions about where my ingredients come from. At times, sourcing that one better ingredient doesn't make financial sense, so I make the next best decision. I balance local, certified organic, and regeneratively farmed labels. Better yet, I know my farmers.
I am committed to making almost everything from scratch because quality matters. Farm Kitchen is my home-based commercial kitchen in the Foothills outside of Calgary.

It's lovely to have you here.

care.
My farmers are friends, and I have come to appreciate them for the trailblazers they are. Dedicating their lives to producing the best-tasting, nutrient-dense food while figuring out how to heal the soil and the earth.
Choosing them is an amplification of what inspires me. They are the change I want to see in the world.
Here's a celebration and a shout-out to some of the farmers I use:
