Oh, hello.
PUT SIMPLY, I TELL STORIES WITH FOOD.

But that wasn’t always the case. Born and raised in Southampton, England, I jumped over the pond to Canada in 2008, then unexpectedly stumbled into food. After being broken by the food industry, I decided to create my own little path without working in or owning a restaurant again, packed with stories and adventures along the way.

AMAN DOSANJ

Here’s a little about me:

Food and marketing geek, writer, former England and Arsenal footballer, people watcher, feminist-in-progress, spice merchant, BSc Business Graduate (with Honours), middle child, planner, Virgo, Slow Food advocate, not your conventional brown person, adventurer, imperfect environmentalist, storyteller, and just weird enough to be interesting.

This project is about trust – in your farmer, natural Canadian ingredients, and the person cooking for you (that’s me). Following the seasons, each pop-up dinner has a surprise menu. The idea is to show up with an open mind, so we can change a few perceptions and behaviours as we go along.

KEEPING UP WITH THE DOSANJS

We are always up to something.

We moved as a family to start from scratch in a new country. Even after experiencing the good, bad, dark, and twisty parts of restaurant life, we are still a part of the food and hospitality industry (just in our own little ways). So, I thought I’d give Chef Mum and ‘bartender brother’ a little love.
