About Me.
Mary Kristiansen, Owner & Chef
I am a true Islander with a passion for cooking, business, and teaching. Taste & Sea brings those interests together through practical, personalized meal preparation that helps Island households eat well, make the most of their time, and preserve the simple tradition of gathering together over a good meal.
My Background
A blend of culinary training, business education, and real-world experience — all in service of helping Island families eat well.
Why I Do This
I believe whole, nutrient-dense foods can nourish both mind and body. A prepared meal can offer even more: knowing what's for dinner, familiar aromas from the kitchen, an opportunity to sit and eat together.
My goal is to save families time, help them enjoy balanced meals, and share practical kitchen knowledge they can carry forward.

My Approach
Every session is thoughtful and grounded in knowing what is in your food and where it came from. Whenever possible, I use PEI products and seasonal ingredients, creating menus inspired by the Island's fields, farms, and shores.
Clients may provide ingredients they already have in their freezers or simply buy new from their favourite store or butcher, so they know where their meat was sourced.
"Thoughtfully prepared with the same care I use in my own family meals."— Mary Kristiansen, Owner & Chef
