The Peasant's Daughter

The Peasant's Daughter is a journey through the traditional recipes and stories of the women who came before me. I believe in real nutrient-dense foods and in always eating the fat. I am a gardener, hiker, fisherwoman, aspiring hunter, invasive-species eater, and forager of wild edibles. I'm a lover of vintage dresses, salt water, mountains, food history, forgotten recipes, and the culinary traditions of the Mediterranean peoples and beyond.
Based in Toronto, Canada but dreaming of a country house. Learn More About Me →
