NEST BISTRO

Jen has always had a passion for the food and beverage/tourism industry and has completed various diplomas/studies within this realm. After completing the chefs training program and finishing as the top student in her class Jen completed a practicum under multiple gold medal winning Chef Ernst Dorfler and his culinary team at the Pan Pacific Hotel (she was also offered a practicum at the Vancouver Four Seasons Hotel but passed due to union grievances at the time). After working at restaurants, golf courses and hotels, Jen started her first business- a cookie company. Jen's cookies were shipped across Canada and the United States and featured in coffee shops daily. After one of her largest orders-Valentines cookies to a law firm in New York- were held at the border for just a little too long (they did however make it to a very happy client) Jen decided to expand to a full service catering business.
