Meet our Bakers Series #1

Following her curiosity and passion for food, Vanessa attended a Culinary Arts program at London’s Fanshawe College. Not long after graduating, she was drawn towards the sweet side of the kitchen and made the move to Toronto and later Stratford, gaining 20 years of experience in professional kitchens.

Her creations are inspired by flavourful and nutritious whole grains, rustic baking styles, and the many wonderful ingredients our region has to offer. In 2022 The Baker’s Project was created as a way to share the style of baking she enjoys making at home with others.

Through The Baker’s Project, Vanessa is looking to build relationships with those who grow and produce our ingredients, to make connections by sharing stories from our kitchens, farms, and creative spaces, and to always keep learning!

Be sure to stop by The Baker's Project booth at our market where you'll find Vanessa's delicious muffins, scones, crumb cakes, brownies, granola, and sourdough bread.
