Dee's Nutty Cheese — Handcrafted Vegan Cashew Cheese

"Sincerely Kitchen gave me the space and the confidence to turn my passion into a real business. Maria walked me through every step of the permit process — I couldn't have done it without this community."

Dee started making cashew-based vegan cheese at home and quickly outgrew her kitchen. At Sincerely Kitchen, she developed her signature flavours — Garlic & Herb, Smoky Chipotle, Dill & Chive — and now sells at farmers markets and local retailers across the Lower Mainland.

Cachito Mio

Cachito Mio — Authentic Mexican Cuisine

"We started at Sincerely Kitchen selling Mexican insect salts — sal de chapulín. Maria believed in us from day one. When we wanted to grow, she helped us convert a storage space into our first taco shop."

Cachito Mio's journey is one of our favourite success stories. They started small, selling artisanal Mexican ingredients, then grew into Uber Eats delivery, and eventually opened a taco shop right here with Sincerely Kitchen's support. After a year of operating, they opened a second location and now also run a food truck. From insect salts to two restaurants and a food truck — that's the kind of growth we love to see.
