MEET YOUR CHEF, Sonja Seiler

I am so excited you are here!

I am a private chef, food storyteller and experience designer based in Kitchener, Ontario. Twice a year, I host my own retreat called Nurture – a weekend full of communal feasting and restorative creative workshops. Additionally, I offer food storytelling, creative snacks and seasonal menus for events and retreats as well as custom meal plans with a private cook-along workshop component.

Magic, to me, is deepening connection through food. I look for inspiration in your love stories, milestone birthdays, brand offerings, intimate weddings, bachelorette weekends and beyond to design personalized menus that bring the people you care about closer together. 

To me, food storytelling is culinary biography – a deep dive into history, memory, geography, ancestry, whimsy and nostalgia through flavours, textures, ingredients and creative interpretations of dishes that hold personal meaning. I can’t wait to cook your story!
