The Spice Sisters was originally co-founded in 2006 by two sisters. Today, The Spice Sisters is solely owned by Jennifer and Cynthia is the owner of From the Farm Cooking School. Jennifer has continued to expand her recipe development and ensure the menu changes on a seasonal basis with exciting new dishes for all to enjoy. She is dedicated to introducing new customers to The Spice Sisters food philosophy of healthy eating.
Jennifer has been cooking in the industry for over twenty years. As a child she was exposed to the love and appreciation of food by both her parents, who spent many hours in the kitchen preparing international dishes for the family to enjoy. Some of her best memories growing up are those with her family in the kitchen. These lessons laid the foundation for Jennifer's journey into the culinary world. In her early years she began cooking for prominent restaurants, various large scale catering companies and gourmet food shops. After working in the corporate environment for over a decade in Toronto, she decided it was time for a change.
Reconnecting with the culinary industry was at the top of her list. She began cooking on a freelance basis for large-scale special events and in 2006, she co-founded The Spice Sisters. Jennifer has also obtained a certificate in catering from Le Cordon Bleu as well as an up-to-date Food Handlers' Certificate from the Toronto Public Health Department.
Since 2010, Jennifer has been the sole owner and head chef of The Spice Sisters. The company has grown tremendously over the years and expanding the menu to incorporate more plant- based options, dairy-free options and gluten-free options has been very well received by her clients.
Jennifer has participated in various food shows and fundraisers, including Willow's “Eat to the Beat” Fundraiser, as well as the Barbara Schlifer Clinic’s Annual Fundraiser where she has been the featured chef for many years, partnered with the leading wine expert, Tony Aspler. She has also been a Chef Instructor with the LCBO in their Cooking Class series of workshops. Jennifer has been promoted in the National Post, Toronto Guardian and the North Toronto Post to name a few. The Spice Sisters also donate their time with a not-for-profit organization, Diversified Youth Initiative. We provide free meals to diverse youth residing in and around affordable housing and soon will be focusing on teaching cooking classes to youth and their families who need help in preparing nutritious food.
