Inspired by the horticulture of her hometown,
Moira's younger sister is a graduate of the culinary program of St. Clair
College and holds a Bachelor of Science degree from Brock University. Lori
has worked extensively in the food and wine industry, notably in the Niagara
region — as the manager and cheesemonger of de Luca’s Cheese Market &
Deli, in the kitchen of On The Twenty Restaurant, and in the vineyard of Cave
Springs Cellars. She writes a food column for the St. Catharines Standard
and a column for the Harrow News called “Local Champions.” Lori lives in St.
Catharines, Ontario with her husband Jake and their children Hugh and Erica.
Her spare time is spent tending her vegetable and flower gardens.
Beth was raised in
Kingsville, Ontario (the town just east of Harrow). She is a graduate of the
University of Western Ontario. Specializing in marketing, design, and copy
writing, Beth has worked for a number of upscale brands including Zingerman’s,
Artisanal, Martha Stewart and Dean & Deluca. Additionally, she consulted
to the government of Australia, helping some of the country’s top food, wine
and lifestyle companies expand into the American market. Beth lives
in New York City with her husband, Matt, and their son, Patrick. She returns
to the north shore of Lake Erie every summer to visit friends and family.
(Beth is first cousin to Moira and Lori. Their mothers, Karen and Sharon,
are identical twins.)
