About Jennifer
I grew up in Vancouver, British Columbia and have been living in Victoria on Vancouver Island for the last 20 years. I come from an Italian and Swiss background. As a young girl, my dad’s Italian garden cultivated my love and appreciation for food and its health benefits.
Something interesting about myself is, a traditional summer activity that I carry on since I was a child is blackberry picking. It is one of my most favorite foods in the world! Blackberries also happen to be a superfood, and it is kidney friendly!
