Taste Of The True North

Hi! I’m Mike Smith.

I believe good food is not only about how it tastes, but also about who you share it with.

I grew up at a fishing resort in Central Ontario, where I learned to cook early in life. One of my favorite memories was preparing hearty breakfasts for guests visiting our family resort. Over the years, my passion for cooking grew into a love for baking, BBQ, grilling, and smoking food while developing and refining many cherished family recipes along the way.

Now retired, I spend much of my time traveling across North America in my motorhome, although Central Ontario will always be home.

Cooking for family brings me the greatest joy, and I hope to pass down my recipes and love of food to my grandchildren, whom I spoil every chance I get.

Life is short — enjoy every minute, gather around the table often, and keep your loved ones close.
