A love of food. A life of hospitality.

A personal touch.
At every table.

For Wysteria Berkow, food has always been about people. A chef, mentor, and hospitality professional, she brings a thoughtful eye and a warm welcome to every table.

Her experience spans winemaking, leading the kitchen and teaching at The Raven’s Restaurant in Mendocino, and creating menus and coordinating events at Woodshed Provisions. Along the way, she has guided young chefs, brought private celebrations to life, and helped hospitality teams find their rhythm.

Salt Spring Island is home. Its growers, makers, and community shape her work, alongside a curiosity for the culinary traditions she discovers on her travels.

Chef · Host · Consultant

Made with care.
Shared with warmth.

Beautiful food is just the beginning.
How people feel is what stays with them.

Led by the season

Good ingredients set the direction. Menus celebrate what’s fresh, with a love of local growers, considered pairings, and food made with care.

Built around you

It starts with listening. Your tastes, dietary needs, and vision guide the details, whether we’re planning a dinner or working with your team.

Care in every detail

Calm coordination and a personal touch make room for what matters: a happy team, a relaxed host, and guests who feel truly welcome.

Kind words, shared.

Wysteria embodies true hospitality and works seamlessly with clients, communicating clearly and adjusting readily to meet their needs.
