Chef/Culinary Consultant
Inspired by Nature Culinary Consulting
“I’ve always loved feeding people. When I learned that was an actual job, I knew I wanted to be a chef and have a restaurant someday. I practiced on my family (sorry!!!) with interesting ingredient combinations and menus made of foolscap paper covered with plastic wrap. Building a career in food has made so many of my dreams come true and I love the twists and turns my path has taken!”
— Jenni Lessard
From my home in the Qu’Appelle Valley on Treaty Four Territory and the Homeland of the Métis/Michif Nation, I develop recipes, plan culinary adventures and share knowledge through cooking videos and online events.
“Jenni's dream and passion is feeding people. She has devoted her life to doing so, while also honouring her roots, and committing to nourishing local ingredients in all of her dishes. You can taste the inspiration and the passion in her food—and she is a joy to work with.”
