Experience The Honed Craft Of Chef Sonja

Twenty-Five Years Experience As A Vegetarian Chef.

Improve your health and give yourself more free time. Enjoy in-home cooking sessions once a week, bi-weekly or monthly. The grocery shopping will be provided (unless you prefer to do it yourself). Then the meals will be prepared in your kitchen. Avoid foods you dislike with a customized menu. A thorough clean-up including dishes is part of the service.

Chef Sonja Experience

• The Naam Restaurant, the oldest and most famous vegetarian restaurant on the west coast. Sonja cooked and baked there for ten years.
• Hollyhock Farms, known internationally for its great vegetarian food, abundant garden and its wilderness surroundings.
• The Mint Restaurant, the first restaurant in Victoria, Britsh Columbia, to offer traditional Nepalese cuisine.
• NJoy catering known especially for its Middle Eastern food and excellent service.
• Sea to Sky Retreat Centre, Whistler British Columbia, with its spectacular mountain wilderness surroundings. Sonja planned and created meals that nourish the body, mind and spirit.

Personal or Group Cooking Classes

Develop your vegetarian cooking ability. Sonja can introduce you to new ingredients and teach you how to use them - in the process, you'll learn about nutrition. Be informed by both Western and Eastern perspectives on vegetarian cooking. Classes are customized to the student's level.

Philosophy

Five Elements draws its name from two Asian traditions which influence Sonja's cooking: Tibetan Buddhism and Traditional Chinese Medicine. We use organics where it's feasible.
