Meet Chef Heidi Fink

Heidi Fink, a Red Seal Chef and an award-winning cooking instructor, has been teaching cooking classes in Victoria, BC, since 1999.

Previously Executive Chef of the renowned ReBar Modern Food restaurant in Victoria, and a Culinary Instructor at Camosun College, Heidi now shares her cooking knowledge and enthusiasm through her classes, culinary tours, and food articles.

More About Me

I am a mother of two, a step-mother of two, a food lover, and a fitness enthusiast.

I adore living on the west coast of British Columbia. The beauty of this place, our home, hits me bone-deep. My love for this place is not limited to its oceans, mountains, and tall trees; I love the people, the fertile fields, and abundant farmstands just as much.

Our food and farming community here is strong and inclusive. I am thrilled that I have been able to contribute to our community, even in a small way, for over 25 years.

I have been a longtime supporter of local food systems and sustainable agriculture here on Vancouver Island. I put my money where my heart is: I buy locally-produced food for both my family and my business.

Mission Statement

My mission can be summed up in three words: engage, inspire, and empower. Whether through my cooking classes, my TV show, or my online recipes, I help you gain the confidence and enthusiasm you need to cook delicious food at home!

I keep the handouts from Heidi’s classes in my recipe stand and refer to them often. In her classes, I really appreciated the excellent organization, the jokes, the tasting and the tidbits of information about local shops and cooking techniques. I always check the new list to see which courses might work for me. I thoroughly recommend these classes.
