Meet Leeanne.
Leeanne grew up working in restaurants. Her very first job was flipping burgers at McDonalds at the tender age of 14 making $2.85. Through high school and university she worked at brunch spots, seafood restaurants, country fine dining and even a university bar balancing trays of draught. She loved it all.
Over time, Leeanne never forgot those years during high school and university she spent working in restaurants. She loved the fast pace, the hospitality and the magic.
She became the food editor and food stylist for Canadian magazines like Wish, Canadian Family, Gardening Life and Glow Magazine. Along the way, she became a trained Chef at the venerable George Brown Chef School. And so here we are: Leeannecooks.
Bringing Good Food Home.
Leeannecooks was created by Leeanne Wright, with the idea of bringing good food home.
After many years of working in food media as a Food Stylist and Food Editor, Leeanne realized that her neighbours were looking for good food solutions at home that were healthy and delicious.
Leeanne began offering a personal chef service to help clients save time and have restaurant quality meals waiting for them when they get home. With a fresh customized menu created every week, her clients enjoy having something healthy, flavourful, and different than what they might tend to make for themselves.
Leeanne’s values are rooted in nourishment, integrity, quality, and versatility. She aims to please her customers with a wide variety of delicious meals for different occasions, cultures, and dietary preferences, and is transparent about ingredients and pricing.
The Season’s Best, Fresh from the Market.
Using fresh, local, and seasonal ingredients wherever possible to create delicious meals, she very much enjoys working with her clients to develop personalized menus that reflect their own tastes and evolving needs.
