Aryn Snell, Recipe Tester
A list of all the recipes Aryn Snell has tested.
As a child, the only cooking Aryn seemed interested in was making mud pies and pretend grass salads whilst imitating Julia Child’s famous high pitched ‘Bon Appétit.” But in 2008, her mother gave her a year subscription to both Bon Appétit and Fine Cooking. It was then her love of cooking blossomed into a passion. Aryn feels very fortunate to be living in Vancouver, BC where so many cultures provide an amazing array of wonderful ingredients from around the world. Her love of entertaining has also increased her knowledge and expertise. Her favorite holiday meal to prepare is Thanksgiving, feeding family, and friends. Aryn doesn’t just prepare exciting new dishes, she also makes sure her presentations are interesting and beautiful. Recipe testing has given Aryn greater experience and growth as a passionate home cook.
