Suzanne Barr, the chef behind beloved Toronto restaurants, Saturday Dinette and True True Diner, released her first book earlier this week. My Ackee Tree, co-authored with Suzanne Hancock, is a memoir about Barr’s life and how she found (and built) a career in the kitchen. Barr left Canada after True True Diner closed in 2020 and is now living in Miami with her husband and son, where’s she consulting on a new restaurant. We recently sat down with her to talk about her new book, her favorite food, what’s next and the sage advice she once received from Mark McEwan.
