Melissa

Hi, I’m Melissa and welcome to Season & Serve! I’m a Canadian food blogger currently living on the West Coast in Vancouver, BC.

I began the Season and Serve in 2016 as a way to share seasonal recipes with friends.

I’ve grown to love more aspects of seasonal living–beyond cooking– to include gardening, entertaining, and home decor.

MY HOPE IS TO INSPIRE YOU TO LIVE AN ELEVATED LIFESTYLE ACCORDING TO THE SEASONS.

BRING awareness to local businesses.

Most food bloggers create content to share their passions with other people.

Most influencers recommend products they’ve tried.

But having both adds a different dimension to the product experience.

That’s why I use my decades of experience in recipe development and pair it with content creation practices that have brought in thousands of subscribers to create unique, seasonal recipes that highlight local products.

In turn? Local businesses gain more awareness and are positioned as a must-try in the market!

proud to have worked with:

Delicious meals designed from decades of experience.

My love for seasonal living has led to decades of experience in cooking, gardening and entertaining. I’ve perfected cooking techniques, and using high-quality, sustainable, and artisanal products.

Two Girls One Ghost Podcast

I always have my favourite paranormal podcast playing when I’m cooking, gardening, decorating, or relaxing around the house. This podcast is well-researched and the ghostesses, Sabrina and Corinne, are hilarious!

Anything by Ina Garten is amazing, and I loved learning about her incredible life story!
