Hope Paterson

I'm Hope. 

I'll start with the basics. Food is my core. When I’m not eating it (often with my hands), I’m sniffing it out, gathering it, cooking with it, sharing it and teaching about it. For the past 20 years, food has been the crispy, crunchy, chewy vehicle for connecting me to people, culture and the world around me.

I’m a spirited organizer. A doer, a maker, a shape shifter, a fajondilizer (I'll get to that later). I'm good at unsticking what's stuck and helping ideas mesh. I infuse projects with playfulness and passion to accomplish big goals.

Home is where I store my cookbooks. Currently Toronto. Previously the UK, Montreal, PEI, Laos, Thailand.
