    About

    Headshot of Sabrina Currie.

    Welcome, I'm Sabrina Currie!

    I live in beautiful Campbell River, BC (the traditional, unceded territories of the Wei Wai Kum First Nations), on Vancouver Island. It's a great place for food growing, foraging and fishing. With a background in culinary school, photography and sommelier training, my blog is where I share my joy.

    Coming from a fishing family, having a college background in culinary arts and having two passionate gardeners as grandmothers, I felt strongly about turning my unused front lawn into a food garden or potager as the French call it. 15+ years into growing food instead of lawn, I am more passionate about it than ever.

    You can hear me talk about that and my new cookbook here:

    A collage of cookbook photos and a headshot of Sabrina Currie with an invitation to listen to her CBC Radio interview with Gregor Craigie.

    Full disclosure: I wasn't always a gardener! I learned by trial and error. In that spirit, my garden has evolved like my recipes and has become reliable and low maintenance with fruits and veggies that grow easily in our climate.

    Work With Me

    My hobbies include foraging (I LOVE mushrooms!), fishing and supporting fresh and sustainably earth grown goods. This has led to some amazing work and collaborations with local and national companies that share the same ethos.  I have been honored to work with farmers, fishers, whole food based companies and makers, photographing, promoting and writing about their work.  I am blessed to be a part of the Edible Vancouver Island magazine team and have made many special friendships in this wonderful food community.

    I'd love to work with you, too!
