Meet Chef Adina Guest, owner of Love's Galettes on Salt Spring Island. 🥬

Adina is known for her galettes, whimsical cakes and treats featuring local fruits, vegetables, flowers and foraged ingredients.

Her connection to radicchio goes back to 2007, when she joined the Slow Food movement as a young chef. Inspired by radicchio festivals in Seattle and Portland, Adina went on to organize Salt Spring Island's own Radicchio Festival, now in its third year.

On October 20, Adina joins six other chefs at Bold Flavours at Burdock & Co., each preparing a dish featuring BC-grown radicchio.

September 30 is the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation and Orange Shirt Day.

Today, we honour the children who never returned home, Survivors of residential schools, and their families and communities, and recognize the ongoing impacts of the residential school system and colonialism.

Reconciliation also requires us to understand what happened to Indigenous food systems.

Colonial policies displaced Indigenous peoples from their lands and waters, restricted access to traditional foods and harvesting areas, and disrupted the transfer of food knowledge between generations.

Across BC, Indigenous communities and organizations are working to restore and revitalize food systems, strengthen relationships with land and water, and pass knowledge between generations.

In our latest blog post, we are sharing resources to learn more about Indigenous Food Sovereignty and some of the Indigenous-led work happening across BC.
