CATERING

Kaitlin, our founder, has had a love for cooking and entertaining for her whole life. She has worked in the restaurant business for almost 20 years, having done nearly every job, from dishwasher to owner.

Growing up in Manitoba, Kaitlin comes from a very long line of produce farmers (over 6 generations). Her family owned a fruit and vegetable market in Manitoba called “Prazniks” that was a staple in the community for over 50 years. As a child she worked stocking shelves in the market and learned all about the value of fruits and vegetables and the importance of plants being a large part of our diets.

As an adult, Kaitlin learned she had issues with gluten and dairy. Her daughter, Lilliana, also was allergic to dairy, eggs and nuts. Kaitlin used her passion for cooking to creatively make sure that their family eats delicious, nutritious and craveable meals everyday. After many years of learning how to cook with allergies and dietary restrictions, Kaitlin decided to share her love of food, her knowledge of navigating dietary restrictions and her passion for feeding people by starting The Lazy Lentil Plant Based Kitchen in hopes of feeding people all over the world!

People often ask where the name “The Lazy Lentil” came from. Kaitlin and her partner Rob were on a road trip up the Southern Californian coast, having breakfast in a diner just north of San Diego. There is still debate to this day about who said it first, but someone said, “The Lazy Lentil”. They knew as soon as it was said that that was the name!

At The Lazy Lentil Plant Based Kitchen, we are busy, so you don’t have to be! We try to make preparing meals for yourself or your loved ones as easy possible. We want everyone to be able to enjoy healthy, nutritious and delicious meals at anytime.
