At Kimberley Ashlee Catering we value that we are a part of a global community and love how food has the ability to bring all walks of life, background, creed, social status, and beliefs together. We celebrate all ethnicities and many are the inspiration for our food. The care and compassion that we give to our clients or those interested in our services is the same profound respect that we give our valuable team members. We truly believe that “a rising tide lifts all boats.”

“I recall the juncture when food became more than just a living necessity.  I was sitting nose-length from the television watching the Two Fat Ladies a television program on the BBC starring Clarissa Dickson Wright and Jennifer Paterson.  The two of them traveled across the United Kingdom in a Watsonian double-wide sidecar cooking for different people and basking in their satisfaction with a cigarette.  I was enthralled with the entire cooking process.  I knew that I wanted to do that for people.

Being of Filipino decent, cooking has always been much more than a familial past time but was a way to support a very large family.  Both my grandmothers, single mothers, cooked to earn a living.  It was what they knew.  So, they cooked out of their homes to collect a small profit.  Today my dad owns his own restaurant in Toronto.

With my passion for cooking, I was unlike most children my age.   I spent my summers cooking my way through cookbooks and experimenting my creations with my parents who spent long days at the office. I worked in both independently-owned and chain restaurants, as well as in the the catering department of an international hotel chain.

Now I spend even more time in the kitchen cooking with my husband who shares the same affection for food as I do. Hours can pass while we are in the kitchen without us knowing it as we continue to learn more about food and each other.”
