Our Story

The Char Baby concept came to me during a break between owning busy suburban cafés and I was looking for a new challenge. I’ve been a chef for more than 20 years and worked in some amazing places, among them as a private chef in Switzerland, Turkey, and Greece. Travel inspires my palate. The world is an amazing and big place and if I could travel to a different destination every time I felt hungry, I would be the happiest woman in the world. That’s how I feel about food. I want spicy, sour, sweet, soft, salty, smooth, crunchy, chewy, juicy…chin wipe-ingly delicious…I want the world on a plate!

So, I created Char Baby as a food truck – a Moveable Feast. This allows me to share my love of the flavours of the world with as many people as possible. Book Char Baby for your next event and I’ll make one simple promise to you: the food is so good it will leave you wanting more. If you have a specific event in mind or would like to explore what we could do together, I’m creative and I love a challenge! Let’s talk about how I can help make your event a unique, standout experience.
