Hey CHYM Family!  Remember Destiny Moser?  She won $10,500 with the CHYM Secret Sound Contest in Fall 2021.   What did she do with her BIG winnings?   Adele had the chance to catch up with her on her journey since winning.

Destiny set out on her mission to pay respect to the stories and traditions of the First Nations people. Established in 2022, Cedar Spoon was created, an Indigenous Catering Company aimed at bringing awareness to authentic Indigenous cuisine, while honouring Canada’s roots from a food perspective.

Her goal is to provide her clients with the unique opportunity to learn about the traditional pantry used by First Nations through an exclusive menu curated by Chef Destiny Moser and Bingemans Catering.

Chef Destiny Moser is the spirit and heart behind Cedar Spoon Indigenous Catering.

 

A little bit about Destiny…

Raised in the Waterloo Region, her passion for food developed at a young age. She spent many hours in the kitchen with her grandmother where she discovered the power of using food as a love language. As her appreciation for food grew and ability to travel increased, Chef Destiny was able to expand her knowledge of international foods and renew her sense of connection with her Indigenous roots and community.

Today, Chef Destiny is driven by the ability to express her love and appreciation through the shared experiences her food and menus bring to the table. As a First Nations Ojibway from the Rainy River Region of Ontario, Cedar Spoon is the next step in both her culinary and personal journey toward reconciliation.

It is her mission to ensure Cedar Spoon honours the bounty while paying respect to the stories and traditions of the First Nations people. She believes that flavor isn’t just about the ingredients you use, but also in the care and thought put into its creation and delivery, making Cedar Spoon an experience that touches all the senses.
