Shani and Penny emigrated to Canada in 2005 with our three small children, drawn by the natural, wild beauty of the West Coast.
West Coast Kitchen was born of our passion for wilderness hiking and love of good food. Shani is an international chef with 30 years’ experience and has constantly been in search of how to achieve the standard of our home cooked food in the wild. After we came to Vancouver Island we were struck by the gap in local food production serving the wilderness tourism market and local hiking, fishing and hunting communities.
When we discovered freeze drying technology it became possible to prepare exactly what we needed in a lightweight durable form that still had the complete nutrition value and taste of freshly made food. The result is West Coast Kitchen our new line of freeze dried products.
