Crossing Cultures Cuisine grew out of necessity.
Eating “on the road” is not an easy task if you are a gluten-free vegetarian. As many of our customers know, finding delicious and easy-to-prepare gluten-free vegetarian meals can be challenging. So we packaged our own food and created our own taste adventure!
What we do
As we travelled the world, we realized that a Gluten-free Vegetarian Diet is the norm in many cultures! So we brought the flavours of the world home with us, and now we're sharing them with you.
- Crossing Cultures Cuisine has spent many hours developing our Thai, Indian, and Chinese Cooking Classes in a Bag and sourcing fresh food products and exotic ingredients.
- We've created Instructional Cooking Videos to make it easy for you to learn how to prepare these dishes for your own family!
- And we've written a Vegetarian Cookbook!
Why we do it
The seed for Crossing Cultures Cuisine germinated about ten years ago, during the Tentcher family’s enchanting trip to India. Tim witnessed the empowering effect that seemingly small efforts can have on the lives of the poor and disenfranchised. As the Tentcher Adventures continued, the idea stuck with him, until the dream to truly taste life’s adventures grew into an idea for a business that would create employment opportunities for people recovering from emotional disabilities.
Because Tim wanted to keep his roots in service, Regeneration Counselling partnered with Crossing Cultures to promote Empowered Ability not Disability. Today, the production and sale of our Gluten-Free Vegetarian products gives work, hope, and purpose to people who are transitioning back into the workforce.
"Think Globally, Act Locally"
Part of our mission is to provide purposeful work and hope to people with disabilities, to trade fairly with people in our local area. Currently, all CCC employees are experiencing a variety of disabilities and are working their way off government support.
