Preserving Canada's culinary heritage through expert education and passionate instruction
Master Maple Kitchen was born from a simple yet profound vision: to preserve and celebrate the rich culinary traditions that make Canadian cuisine unique. Founded in 2019 by a group of passionate chefs and food historians, our platform emerged from years of research into Canada's diverse food heritage.
What started as informal cooking workshops in Vancouver's vibrant food scene has evolved into a comprehensive online educational platform. We recognized that Canadian cuisine extends far beyond stereotypes—it's a complex tapestry woven from Indigenous traditions, French and British influences, and the contributions of countless immigrant communities.
Our founders traveled across the country, from the fishing villages of Newfoundland to the prairie farms of Saskatchewan, learning from home cooks, professional chefs, and community elders. This journey revealed the incredible diversity and richness of Canadian food culture that deserved to be shared with the world.
To make authentic Canadian culinary knowledge accessible to food enthusiasts worldwide through engaging, comprehensive online education that honors traditional techniques while embracing modern innovations.
To become the premier destination for Canadian culinary education, fostering a global community of cooks who appreciate and practice the diverse food traditions that define Canada's gastronomic identity.
