Bal Arneson

Bal grew up in Punjab – India and came to Canada at the age of 20. She received her Education degree from the University of British Columbia and her Masters degree in Education from Simon Fraser University. At the age of 9 she learned how to make food from scratch from her elders. Later, Bal started sharing her cooking talent by giving cooking classes. Her organic, healthy, traditional fusion and quick Indian recipes became so popular that she was invited twice to appear on City Cook (City TV) and the local newspaper did a story on her cooking style. Bal’s true passion to use her cooking talent is to do various fund raising for several charities such as Canuck Children Hospice, Santa’s Baskets for needy families for smaller communities, various shelter homes and food bank and various charities that support children, women, and senior programs. In 2009, Bal will work on her first cook book that will be published by Whitecap books and the focus of the book will be how to make healthy, yummy and quick Indian recipes in less than 20 - 25 minutes.
