We met several years ago, paths crossing as they do in the Valley. More recently, we were reconnected by a mutual friend knowing of our shared passion for food and wine. Since then we have come together to share ideas, meals, failures and triumphs. Coincidentally, we were both approached to contribute to a food and wine column in the Comox Valley Record newspaper. Instead of two separate articles, we thought it would be more fun to combine our talents....the result is Foodites. We are Kathy Jerritt and Connie Earl.
Connie came to the Comox Valley 14 years ago to work as the baker at Atlas Cafe and immediately knew it would be home. Since then, there has been time in Victoria cooking and serving; in Vancouver as a film caterer; and several years chasing the sun as a private chef on cruising yachts. Returning to the Valley in 2005, she went back to work for her friends at Atlas Cafe. Working front of house has given Connie the opportunity to fully enjoy the community she chose to be part of.
Kathy has been living in the Comox Valley off and on for 16 years (OMG) ... After working in the health industry for 7 years she decided to pursue her true passion - cooking. Kathy went to culinary school several years ago and has never looked back, working and traveling throughout North America, Europe and Asia collecting a soup pot full of regional and traditional techniques. Most recently, Kathy has opened Tria Culinary Studio in partnership with Nature's Way Farm and Blue Moon Winery.
