Tori Wesszer is a registered dietician living in the Okanagan of British Columbia. She has

been surrounded by the freshest and most beautiful food since she can remember. Her family LOVES good food, and her sweet Mom and Ukrainian Granny had her in the kitchen at a very young age teaching her everything they know: Tori baked her first loaf of bread when she was 10 years old!

Her nutrition philosophy embraces moderation and quality without deprivation. You will find that Tori's recipes and nutrition advice centre around sustainable and enjoyable healthy eating. She is head over heels in love with food made with the best ingredients, eating in good company and making your table look as gorgeous as possible.

"As a mom of two, I’m no stranger to that 'what’s for dinner' anxiety . . . and Tori is brilliant at balancing nutrition with the food that kids actually want to eat. Her pancakes are already a staple in our house! With recipes for every eater, Fraiche & Simple takes the guesswork out of feeding the family and feeling good about what you’re eating."

"Growing up as cousins (but more like sisters), many of my happiest childhood memories include Tori and I cooking together and enjoying family meals. As a busy mom of two, answering the 'what's for dinner' question can feel like a lot, which is why I love how Tori makes meal planning feel simpler, more manageable, and balanced with nutrition at the forefront. So many of these recipes from Fraiche & Simple are already favourites in our household!"

"This book feels like such a breath of fresh air! Tori’s approach to cooking is so much more than just recipes. It’s about slowing down, creating connection, and showing love through food. As moms with big families, we especially appreciated how warm, intentional, and genuinely helpful this book feels for real life. Fraiche and Simple is the kind of cookbook you’ll cook from again and again, dog-earing pages and writing 'family favourite' across so many of the recipes."
