Owner
Creating delicious, healthy meals has always been Aida’s passion. For years she shared her culinary expertise with the community by catering to specific diets in nursing homes, teaching culinary courses at Assiniboine Community College, and more recently, catering many events throughout the Westman area.
The cooking endeavours that brought her the most joy, however, were those done in her own kitchen, crafting unique meals every day for her two children, Grace and Jamil. Since her children have now grown up and moved away, she felt that the natural next step was to share this love of cooking with the community by bringing the best meals from her kitchen table to yours. Aida always likes to have a good time with family and friends and she believes that food and fun go hand in hand.
In 2020, a new opportunity arose for Aida to build on her catering business and open her own events venue. The Backyard on Aberdeen was launched. The venue offers an indoor and outdoor rental space, in-house and off-site catering and full event decoration rentals. This is a dream come true for Aida. The first wedding at The Backyard on Aberdeen was Aida and her husband Kit’s wedding. It was a beautiful way to start two new chapters: a lifetime together and a new business venture. Aida is looking forward to hosting many weddings in the future.
