I'm Cinda Chavich — an award-winning food journalist, photographer, and culinary travel writer based in beautiful British Columbia, Canada.

I'm your taste reporter and culinary concierge — sharing stories about food, culture, travel, restaurants and the people behind memorable meals, with a focus on the best chefs and top restaurants in Victoria, Vancouver and Vancouver Island.

At Taste Report, you'll get deep dives into local ingredients, and my popular, tested recipes, too.

From Vancouver Island road trips and BC food adventures to culinary discoveries around the world, Taste Report is where I explore what’s worth tasting, cooking, and experiencing.

You’ll find restaurant recommendations, chef profiles, food and travel stories, seasonal recipes, and inspiration for delicious meals and journeys near and far — all presented through the lens of my thoughtful, well-researched journalism and storytelling.

Food connects us all.

Come along for the ride, and the read, where food and culture meet!
