Because I was away this past week, Yvonne and Linda handled three medium size jobs with just the two of them. It all went very well, I'm told, but I sure do hate to miss those kinds of luncheons and dinners.
I like it that we plan the menu, shop, prepare, cook and serve together. We bus the tables, too. There's no hierarchy, even when we need to hire helpers (well, we don't let just anyone stir our soup) but I love being part of the process from beginning to end.
I like it that people rave about our cooking, not because we're Michelin-starred chefs, but (I think) because it's honest food. We refuse to take machine harvested, washed and chopped iceburg lettuce out of a bag with bits of carrot thrown in for appeal. We'd much rather wash and tear our own Romaine. Even better if we can get it from Neva Hydroponics and treat people to Manitoba-grown lettuce in the middle of winter. I really hate the term "home-style" cooking. How can something be home-style if it's made in a factory?
I like it that even though people really like what we cook, I know that it's also good for them. They leave feeling great, not sick or over-stuffed, but healthy.
It makes it all worth it.
We believe that food should be good for you and good for the earth.
What People Are Saying About Us
Why not add yourself to the list of our satisfied customers?
Diane Poulin, Legal Aid Manitoba:
"It's amazing to eat food that is not only nutritous but delicious as well. The soups and salads and cookies are amazing and it's nice to know that real care has gone into selecting ingredients that are fresh, local and incorporate values that are good for the planet.
Plus, you can taste the difference when food is made with love! I would not hesitate to contact Prairie Bounty again to cater a workshop or other business function."
Sol Janzen, Administrator, Canadian Foodgrains Bank:
Michele, Linda and the gang did an outstanding job in providing refreshments and meals for our board meetings.
The menu was interesting, the food delicious and the service excellent. It’s clear that they care about the people they serve and honour the food they prepare. Their focus on using only local food products was a huge hit, and their ability to find fresh, local salad greens during the coldest week in December seemed almost miraculous.
I can’t give a strong enough recommendation to Prairie Bounty. Thanks for contributing so positively to our meetings. I hope to work with you many more times in the future.
Leilana Farhar, Human Rights Lawyer:
"I have been to many, many conferences, and I have never had such good food. The food is fresh and healthy and delicious. If I lived in Winnipeg, I'd tell everyone I know to use Prairie Bounty."
What we cook
We cook food that is healthy, because we believe that good food is good for the soul.
We choose local, organic and fair trade food whenever possible, and we don't use transfats, preservatives, or anything fake. We make our own baked goods using organic flour and pure canola oil.
Some of our favourite dishes include curry, lentils, chickpeas, wasabi, cilantro, dill and basil. We never met a home grown tomato we didn't like.
If you want something a little different for your next conference or board meeting, send us a note!
Who We Are

You won't find any surly servers at our table... we believe that you are our guest, and we'll treat you like one.

A little more
The three sisters are Linda, Yvonne and Michele. We share a love of cooking, reading, gardening, and the prairie sky.
In addition, Linda is an accomplished pianist, Yvonne is a quilter, and Michele a writer. We have way too many ideas floating around for our own good, and we are most creative when we are together.
We credit our parents for giving us a love for great food, great wine and great hospitality.

I like it that when someone asks what's in the sauce or dressing or whatever, I can tell them exactly what's in it because you or Yvonne or I actually made it.
We missed you last week!
Yet another reason to move to Winnipeg!
