With a shared philosophy of 91裸聊视频渇lavour first,91裸聊视频� Anastasia Kaye and Steve Best have embarked on an entrepreneurial journey that will soon have them on the road, sharing their passion for food with the Shuswap.

Friends, business partners and self-described 91裸聊视频渃ulinary enthusiasts,91裸聊视频� Kaye and Best can be found Saturdays at the Downtown Salmon Arm Farmers91裸聊视频� Market, introducing people to the first sauces created for their new business, Peak & Terra Food Co. The small-batch sauces, including Lion91裸聊视频檚 Roar Hot Sauce and Morel BBQ Sauce, are made by the duo at Zest Commercial Food Hub.

A chef for more than 25 years and the creator of award-winning hot sauces, Best said it didn91裸聊视频檛 take long to arrive a the recipe for the mushroom-inspired barbecue sauce.

91裸聊视频淚t91裸聊视频檚 fairly easy to make something and hide behind ingredients like sugar and vinegar, but it91裸聊视频檚 another thing to use culinary skills and knowledge and great ingredients in order to raise the bar,91裸聊视频� said Best. 91裸聊视频淭here are similar ingredients in there to other barbecue sauces, but it91裸聊视频檚 what we choose to push to the forefront, like morels and really nice tomatoes and roasted vegetables.91裸聊视频�

The Peak & Terra team have been winning over locals with both their sauces, with Lion91裸聊视频檚 Roar converting people who may normally be apprehensive when it comes to hot sauce.

91裸聊视频淪o many people come up and say they don91裸聊视频檛 like hot sauce whatsoever, and then we just talk to them about what91裸聊视频檚 in it and it helps if they have somebody, a friend or family, who is there as well who says, 91裸聊视频榦h, you91裸聊视频檝e got to try it!91裸聊视频�91裸聊视频� said Best. 91裸聊视频淎nd then they try it and they91裸聊视频檒l be like, I really like that!91裸聊视频�91裸聊视频�

Sharing their Peak & Terra origin story, Kaye and Best explained they91裸聊视频檙e both relatively new to the area, but collectively they share about 40 years of experience in the restaurant/hospitality industry. The two met for a beer in Salmon Arm to put their heads together and determine a path forward for that combined experience. From there, Peak & Terra was soon born 91裸聊视频� the name reflecting the local geography from which they would draw their inspiration.

91裸聊视频淭he peaks of the mountains to the ground beneath us, there91裸聊视频檚 so much we can get inspiration from,91裸聊视频� said Best.

The duo will be soon be introducing two more creations, a hot sauce called Hot Beetz, and their Mushroom Ale Mustard. Best explained the former, though spicier than Lion91裸聊视频檚 Roar, will be well-balanced with bold flavours. The mustard represents something of a partnership between Peak & Terra and the Shuswap91裸聊视频檚 Crann贸g Ales, incorporating the brewer91裸聊视频檚 award-winning Backhand of God stout, hops and chestnut mushrooms.

Another thing Kaye and Best share is the dream of one day operating a food truck. The two are in the process of getting one prepared to be on the road this summer. Their main focus will be sandwiches, though they will also offer salads, soups, waffles and more.

91裸聊视频淲e both love sandwiches and there is so much you an do with them,91裸聊视频� said Best. 91裸聊视频淭hey span all cultures, they span veganism, vegetarianism, they can hit everybody91裸聊视频檚 mark.91裸聊视频�

Kaye and Best plan to run the food truck four days a week and will focus on serving breakfast and lunch, but also plan on doing evening pop-up events.

Though the food truck will be a dream-come-true, the duo still have a long-term vision for a brick-and-mortar establishment.

91裸聊视频淥ur big dream is to have a brick and mortar 91裸聊视频� we would love to do that,91裸聊视频� said Kaye. 91裸聊视频淏ut we just want to play it smart and do the process of sauce, the food truck and really build up our name so that we have a good following before we move on to anything like that.91裸聊视频�

Kaye and Best also value the freedom that comes with a food truck.

91裸聊视频淲ith the food truck and the sauce company, we91裸聊视频檙e kind of free to roam, and that91裸聊视频檚 really good for us,91裸聊视频� said Best. 91裸聊视频淎s we are kind of outsiders to this wonderful place, we can explore and see all that this place has to offer.91裸聊视频�
