Samantha Sivertz

Fruit & Veggie Focused Comfort Food | Vegan Dessert| Housemade Soft Drinks

Sam is a botanist who revels in learning, writing, and teaching about fascinating plants and fungi, so it's no surprise that her food writing tends to revolve around plants.

While not a vegetarian, she loves dishes where fruits and vegetables take centre stage. Being a lactose-intolerant ice cream enthusiast, she's always on the look-out for alternatives like vegan ice cream floats featuring house-made root beer flavoured with real sassafras.

Besides writing about her favourite mushroom risotto and taking pictures of flowers, she teach classes about tree identification, poisonous plants and the botany of beer at VanDusen Botanical Garden.
