Chef Cheryl Chang’s Nourish Kitchen’s Lunar New Year Kit Celebrates Year of the Snake
Celebrate Lunar New Year with Nourish Kitchen’s Lunar New Year Kits and save yourself the trouble of running around town to pick up all the ingredients for this celebratory meal. Nourish Kitchen’s Chef Cheryl Chang is a self-taught chef with roots in Taiwan, the Sunshine Coast and Vancouver. Nourish Kitchen, her latest project, will provide prepared meal delivery, culinary workshops, and private catering.
“Cooking and sharing meals have always been about connection and Nourish Kitchen was born from a desire to offer inclusive, conscious eating—healthy, fresh, and house-made meals that cater to all dietary needs,” explains Chang, who spent five years growing her Nourish brand on the Sunshine Coast while raising her family. “For my debut in Vancouver, the Lunar New Year Feast Kit is my way of bringing people together with dishes that feel personal yet celebratory, made even more special by the incredible local producers we’re collaborating with, such as Dicky’s Dumps and MAMA in the Kitchen.”
Nourish Kitchen’s Lunar New Year Feast Kit ($88 for two; $178 for four) features four dishes for customers to cook with loved ones. Each kit comes with two steamer baskets with a lid, two chili oil flavours from MAMA in the Kitchen, and prosperity dumplings from Dicky’s Dumps. Custom options are also available. Orders can be placed online at www.nourishforyou.com by January 19, 2025, for delivery on January 28 and 29, 2025.

Chang’s culinary journey began during her university years, working front-of-house at Salmon House on the Hill in West Vancouver, where she fell in love with the energy of restaurants and discovered her passion for cooking. Over the years, Chang has worked in several Vancouver kitchens, teaching kids how to cook at Growing Chefs in schools, collaborating with esteemed chefs such as Ono Catering’s TJ Conwi, and Top Chef Canada runner-up Deseree Lo.
“I’m pretty much self-taught and did get burnt out in professional kitchens, explored baking, management roles and even finance, before realizing food is my true calling,” adds Chang. “Nourish Kitchen is my way of encouraging people to cook, eat, and taste together, have a conversation that nourishes personal connections and what better time to do it than during Lunar New Year.”
