About Alissa
Our Partners
As a social enterprise, we are lucky to work with some fabulous community partners: neighbouring farmers and food producers, along with our local women’s shelter, directing meals from our Food is Comfort cooking classes to those who most need it.
Join The Contemplative Cook
You too can be a contemplative cook, in fact we're certain you already are.
Thoughtful, present, creative, kind, and eating at least three times a day. It’s not complicated, but it does take devotion: to pay attention, and to enter the kitchen with an unwavering determination to stay true to your own rhythm, for the sake of art, unfettered love, heart-felt food, and genuine connection.
