I have had the privilege of having dinner created by Shirley Lang. Her knowledge of edible Indigenous plants and flowers while combining them successfully throughout a delectable menu is astounding. As an Executive Chef I know how hard it is to create your own style of cooking to separate yourself from others. Shirley certainly has accomplished this, with her wholesome and unique style. I hope to have the chance to eat her creations again shortly, because frankly, I’m getting hungry writing this.”
