A Canadian Foodie

A Canadian Foodie Valerie Lugonja is a Canadian Foodie � You can usually find her in her kitchen, garden, or travel The Slow Food philosophy directly aligns with her own.

When she “makes or bakes” she is partly a mad scientist and partly a deeply reflective artist constantly thinking of those she is preparing for. The kitchen is the centre of her home as she believes food made at home and shared between family and friends builds relationships, and creates traditions that bind us to one another for generations. This blog portrays, in real time, the evolution of traditional Canadian Prairie Cuisine as she captures episodes from her daily life on her plate each evening. As a member of Slow Food Edmonton, living on the expansive and deeply rich prairies, she inherently draws from the landscape of those who came before. Valerie is a professional “Foods” educator, writer and editor who loves to cook for her friends and family and is currently living in Edmonton, Alberta.
