WHAT'S IN A A NAME
The word Kindred, by definition, means people who are connected, allied, or a community who share the same vision or mission. The word 'kin' also means family and in old English, means to advise.
You may also break the word down into 'kind' and 'red'.
Kind is a perfect description of how we plan to achieve our mission, choosing the least harmful, most ethical, and sustainable solution while supporting the local food industry.
Red is the colour of love, passion, and of the Root Chakra, which symbolizes our connection to our life source, our basics survival needs which include food, water, belonging, community and of course, money. Red is also the colour of passion, love, excitement and blood, which just like food, is something we all have in common.
Kitchens is plural because our kitchens are where we create our food, the meals that make us feel nourished, loved, provided for. Therefor our kitchens are a uniting force for us to create systematic social change by focusing on healthy, sustainable solutions, regardless of our lifestyle choices, preferences and behaviours.
We believe food is the ingredient that binds us together. We are what we eat and our food choices directly impact our health, the planet, animals, and the economy.
THE FOUNDER
In her earliest and fondest childhood memories, Angela always had a curiosity, love and appreciation for the food. She enjoyed preparing meals, dinners and desserts for special occasions with her great aunts and grandparents.
Angela was so excited and eager to work with food, she found her first job at just 14 years old working as a prep chef for a local restaurant. She continued to work as a cook all throughout her high school but ended when Angela chose a career in creative design and advertising over becoming a chef so she moved to Toronto, Ontario where she attended OCAD University and graduated as an Art Director working in branding and advertising. Although Angela changed career goals, her inner chef lived on and kept her healthy and thriving throughout university, her career working in advertising and branding agencies and her travels around the world and even working and living internationally as a model before moving back to Canada unexpectedly in 2013.
Angela is now based in Canada but has expanded her interests, experience and skillsets and is still doing some creative work, coaching and sharing her yoga and meditation practice through her Angela Argentina platforms. However, most of her time is dedicated to her work with Kindred Kitchens where she inspires people to get creative, be healthy and cook their own meals and for those who can't, she is working on the restaurant evolution
and exploring other options to help cultivate community surrounding food while supporting local businesses and finding sustainable solutions.
Angela is launching a Youtube channel where you can find her recipes, classes, meditations online and she is excited about her purpose and passion project, the Restaurant Evolution.
