As local cookbook author Jennifer Schell writes in a blog for Tourism Kelowna: “Kelowna is literally a dreamland for chefs. Access to acres upon acres of farms, orchards, gardens and vineyards producing an enormous range of world class fruit, vegetables and wines as well as offering countless foraging and fishing opportunities – what more could a culinarian ask for? Sunshine (done), four seasons of sports activities (done), access to a winter ski hill (a couple actually) a gi-nourmous lake (yup – got that too). With all of this on offer, there is no surprise that Kelowna is attracting chefs from far and wide.”
