CRAFTING MEMORIES TOGETHER

Our Journey

Meet Candy and Robert- 2 prairie kids who found themselves working in the Alberta oil patch. They quickly became friends, continually bouncing ideas off one another and helping the other perfect their craft. When the oil prices started to dip, they both found themselves out of work and looking for the next adventure.


Their story is woven with resilience, laughter, and a passion for sharing delicious food.
The buffet was started to help them feed the hungry masses during Friday lunches, and within months they found themselves doing more buffet and less menu. This was the niche!

Candy comes from a Ukrainian Canadian family and spent decades cooking these dishes with her mom, baba's, aunts, and finally her daughters. Sharing this food, the customs they grew up with and the rich Ukrainian Canadian traditions was a dream come true. 

Chynna (Candy's daughter) joined the leadership team in 2022, blending her passion for cooking with a creative eye for design. Her influence has been instrumental in Saskitoba's growth and the experience it offers today.


They have also added local ladies (our "Baba's") to the roster who not only lovingly pinch perogies, but who also bring decades of experience and wisdom.

We aim to bring you delicious Ukrainian Canadian fare with that "taste of home" in every bite.
