Meet Leeanne.<\/h2><\/div>

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
