Canterbury Cuisine’s origins date back to 1981 with the packaging of a bean soup that had been a family Christmas Eve tradition for many years. This hearty bean soup, served with hot ham sandwiches made with freshly baked bread, was a hit. Friends and family would gather around the festive Christmas tree for a simple meal, lots of singing and good cheer. Then, one-by-one, the family’s other favorite recipes were offered…and enthusiastically embraced. Adding rich decadent cocoa mixes, cookie mixes, savory stuffings, delicious and rich dessert mixes.
