Wild Northern Way menus are created by Chef Jody Peck in collaboration with you to bring your culinary dreams into reality. Jody is an avid gardener and wild food lover who is passionate about sourcing local produce and sharing the abundance of the natural landscape in every meal she prepares. Jody grew up in the wilds of Northern BC where she was immersed in all aspects of wild food – harvesting, processing, cooking, preserving and sharing meals. Wild game, fire cooking, and mountain huckleberries shaped her understanding of food, land, connection and community.
More than a decade ago, Jody landed in Vancouver amidst the wild food revival, bringing her knowledge and commitment to wild, local and seasonal cuisine to a city of diners hungry for a sense connection to the origin of their meals. Jody’s lifelong connection to farming as well as hunting, foraging and preparing wild food quickly led her to collaborating with many of Vancouver’s finest chefs. You’ll find Wild Northern Way creating luxury wedding dining experiences and tablescapes, curating wild to table events on Bowen Island, providing specialized catering for retreats, and teaching foraging and fire cooking workshops.
Jody lives on Bowen Island, unceded territory of the Squamish Nation, where she works with the flavours of the Pacific Northwest to create seasonal and local wild food experiences, continually learning and gathering inspiration from what the land has to offer.
