Bio<\/h4>\n

Tania is a Niagara-based chef, recipe developer, speaker, and entrepreneur. She specializes in plant-based cooking, drawing inspiration from travel and the abundance of beautiful produce grown in the Niagara region. She has been cooking professionally for 14 years, and received a formal education in both French and Italian Culinary Arts. Tania credits her time training in Italy for shaping much of her current food philosophy. She has worked at top Toronto restaurants, including Jamie Kennedy’s Gilead Cafe, Canoe, and Cafe Boulud at the Four Seasons. In 2017, Tania and her business partner Amanda Ali, launched Staff Meal Niagara: a plant-based, nutrition-focused meal delivery program and catering company.<\/p>\n

Never one to shy away from competition or television appearances, Tania has been a contestant on Top Chef Canada and Chopped Canada. She has appeared as a guest expert on The Marilyn Denis Show, and was an episodic co-host of the LCBO Food and Drink web series 5 Stops.<\/p>\n

Tania resides in Niagara on the lake with her husband John, who is also a chef. She now focuses on teaching workshops, public speaking, and sharing her recipes online. She works alongside her sister Dani (a Certified Holistic Nutritionist) to provide actionable and approachable food and nutrition content through their soon-to-launch YouTube channel and website. Tania believes in food that nourishes and heals the body from within, focusing on whole, nutrient-dense plant foods, sourced as locally and sustainably as possible. Her mission is to help people find healing, joy, and connection through food that is good for the planet and all of its inhabitants.<\/p>\n\t\t

\n\t\t\tAbout this episode\n\t\t<\/h2>\n\t

This episode was just a love-fest between soul sisters! Though I\u2019ve only been acquainted with Tania for a few short months, there is definitely a deep connection between us and I feel incredibly grateful that we have been able to get to know each other during a transformational period for us both. Tania shares so many insights in this episode about chef life- including training in Italy and working at a Michelin star restaurant, her creative culinary entrepreneurial endeavours, as well as her personal spiritual and wellness practices and evolution! I told her while recording that I feel like she\u2019s lived a hundred lives and when you listen to today\u2019s episode, you\u2019ll understand why!<\/p>\n\t\t
