Chef Olivia Healey completed her culinary education in 2008, following which, she was focused in the nutrition department at the St. Thomas-Elgin General Hospital (STEGH) for 12 years. After having dedicated time as the Culinary Events Manager at Pepper Tree Spice Co., Olivia remains a returning instructor for cooking clas- ses while simultaneously having launched Liv Cooks in April of this year. This service entails prepared meals on a weekly basis for St. Thomas and area citizens. Each Tuesday afternoon, Olivia delivers orders for pick-up to the desig- nated fridge at CrossFit Elgin, 11 Sparling Road. Using fresh pro- duce and creating each dish to be a well-balanced, macro-friend- ly meal, Olivia sources various in- gredients from local farms. Ex- citedly, she has begun incorporating soups into her flavourful and custom- izable menu -- with orders accepted through the livcooks.ca website.

Olivia offers small event catering, such as baby showers, holiday work parties and in-home dining for bringing the restaurant into your own space. Selections may include cold or hot appetizers, a grazing board, a three to four-course meal and so forth. The menu is therefore modifiable, along with the base price per individual. For those who enjoy hosting, Olivia’s service ultimately alleviates what can be a stress-inducing component of hospitality. Not only does Olivia prepare a memorable meal for your guests, she will take care of the kitchen clean-up afterward: “I aim to leave this space even cleaner.” The Liv Cooks menu changes weekly and when asked what inspires Olivia’s ideas, she graciously responds, “My mom was born in Italy, and the nostalgia mixed with my heritage has definitely influenced my cooking style.” Expressing her appreciation for her familial support, Olivia shares that her mother spends time working alongside her in the kitchen. Creating her own business has been a fulfilling journey for Olivia, who appreciates the flexibility in her schedule for enjoying her son as he grows. Being a personal chef, Olivia celebrates the beauty of food and forging connections. “My love language is acts of service, and seeing somebody enjoy something that I make brings me so much joy. To put the work in for yourself is very rewarding.” Furthermore, she beams with delight to have recently become a snack supplier for Port Stanley Brewing Co. While discussing her ambitions moving forward, Olivia reveals that she has begun designing a Cookbook Club -- which she envisions operating once each season, and will be sharing the details in 2026.
