About Birgitta

Birgitta’s interest in nutrition and healthy living began when she moved to Victoria, BC from Sweden in the 1970’s and became involved in the natural foods industry.  Starting out making granola for a new local whole foods store, it was the beginning of a passion for good, healthy food.  With the birth of her daughter, nutrition became even more important to Birgitta.  Through her studies in nutrition counseling and teaching cooking classes, she was able to share her gifts and talents with many people.  It was very important to Birgitta that people were given the knowledge and principles of a healthy diet so that they could properly understand and choose a more organic and holistic lifestyle.

Birgitta’s busy life often took her traveling, where she found a new appreciation for the different cuisines of many cultures.  Being of an entrepreneurial spirit, Birgitta has worn many hats, but she has kept coming back to the quality of whole foods cuisine and its effect on the body and spirit.

Birgitta has taken on cooking with the same passion and creativity that she applies to everything in her life.  With a lifetime of healthy organic living, she now shares her refreshing, casual style and common sense cooking in her first book.

Today Birgitta is a demonstration chef with one of Vancouver’s best natural foods stores.  She has appeared on CityTV's City Cooks and is reknowned amongst the Vancouver whole foods and restaurant industry. Birgitta encourages everyone to buy organic, eat locally, cook from the heart and to share lovingly with family and friends.
