Jennifer E. Crawford

Jennifer E. Crawford

Jennifer E. Crawford is a food creative, writer, feeler of big feelings, and chef. They won imaginations and appetites across the country when they won MasterChef Canada in 2019. Ever since, they've been moving as fast as their crocs can go, building a meaty, juicy, sprinkle-covered food life. Jennifer was born, raised, and is currently living in rural Nova Scotia, after a 12-year stint in Toronto. They learned how to dismantle a lobster before their 10th birthday, got sober in February 2018, and their favourite food is cold butter.
